FCI Smartag goes a step further in the development of innovative RFID products for library applications. At the American Library Association (ALA) trade show in Chicago, FCI Smartag will present the newest members of its RFID Labels – the aluminium-based X-range CD / DVD label.

The X-range CD / DVD labels are perfect where tracking and identification CD / DVD is required. Offering extended read performance, X-Range clearly proved to be more effective for anti-thief purposes. Additionally, utilizing a clear substrate minimizes the coverage of text and information on the CD / DVD itself. The aggressive adhesive prevents any attempt to remove the label.

Gretchen Freeman, Associate Director for Technology at Salt Lake County Library Services says of the X-Range label "Pre-programmed X-range tags represent another huge productivity jump for us in terms of processing disks. Besides, FCI has always gone the extra mile to package our tags exactly how we need them."

Smartag's ISO 15693 based RFID book labels include blank, printed labels with personalized library logo, and printed labels with barcodes and encoding services. The latter ones consistently minimize library processing. Transparent labels are suitable for magazines, periodical materials, children books, etc. The labels reduce blocking of reading contents to the minimal on applied surface.

Both label types are available in several sizes to suit various library requirements.

Already a global leader in RFID, with more than 100 million labels and tags in the market, FCI Smartag has reinforced development capacity with a brand-new dedicated R&D center in Singapore.
