How much do RFID tags cost today?
Most companies that sell RFID tags do not quote prices because they are based on volume, the amount of memory on the tag, and the packaging of the tag (is it encased in plastic or embedded in a label?). Generally speaking, a 96-bit EPC tag costs from 20 to 40 U.S. cents. If the tag is embedded in a thermal transfer label, which companies can print a bar code on, the price rises to 40 to 50 cents.
