Overview: Green RFID with Nano Silver-Coated Copper Technology

Thanks to advanced biodegradable RFID antenna technology, the Eco-Paper Inlay uses pure paper to replace plastic antenna substrates such as PET. This offers advantages of 100% green, renewable, high reliability, and excellent cost performance.

The RFID antenna is printed directly onto the paper surface using nano silver-coated copper conductive paste, which delivers good bending resistance, high conductivity, high chemical stability, and resistance to oxidation.
