How durable are the tags? That is, what are the lowest and highest temperatures a tag can withstand?
The typical operating temperature for an RFID inlay (tag) found in most smart labels is between -25º C and 70º C. Storage temperature typically is between -40 º C and 85º C. These values will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and will depend on the tag’s components. There are industrial tags available in the market that will withstand temperatures as high as 250º C, which could, for example, stand up to heat sterilization requirements for medical items.
