Smartrac, an Avery Dennison company, recently announced its new “DURA” delivery format for a multitude of its inlays and tags, with DOGBONE DURA being the first RAIN RFID (UHF) product available. The new product is designed for industrial, supply chain or logistics applications, such as the tagging of reusable pallets and returnable transport items. The DURA line in general boasts outstanding robustness and water resistance in addition to existing properties, in DOGBONE’s case its excellent performance on difficult-to-tag materials.

Smartrac’s DURA delivery format is characterised by thick, semi-stiff thermosetting layers attached to both sides of the antenna/IC structure, which provide effective protection against mechanical and environmental stresses without affecting the overall performance of the underlying inlay design.
