Ideal for tagging small to medium-sized packages
The first new product, AD-810r6, exhibits solid performance on glass and plastic materials and has an 18mm diameter footprint. This makes it ideal for tagging glass vials and other small to medium-sized medical packages, including select beauty applications, such as cosmetics or perfume. This globally tuned inlay can achieve up to a 1.7 meter read distance when applied to liquid-filled glass or plastic bottles.

The AD-810r6 inlay is equipped with the Impinj Monza R6 integrated circuit and a tag chip that provides 96-bit EPC memory and features AutoTune RF tuning. The 16mm, round antenna is cleanly cut onto an opaque white PET carrier.
A new option for smaller form factors
For applications requiring a smaller form factor recommended for reading tagged items in near-field, Avery Dennison is pleased to introduce its AD-850m4QT product. Its antenna size measures just 10.3mm in diameter – the smallest offered in Avery Dennison’s Gen2 RAIN compliant UHF inlay portfolio.
The AD-850m4QT’s simple, circular loop design features the Impinj Monza 4QT integrated circuit and can achieve up to a 1-meter read distance in FCC (920-928 MHz) when applied to liquid-filled vials made of plastic or glass. Also, the Impinj Monza 4QT chip enables users to maintain a public and private data profile for confidential data storage and consumer privacy, coupled with a large, 512-bit user memory.
Avery Dennison is offering the new inlays for purchase in two formats, including Dry Inlay and Wet Inlay with optimal delivery lead times.
