Single-Pass RFID Insertion Improves Job Turnaround Times

Engineers from Mark Andy retrofitted an existing press at Jet Label’s manufacturing facility to allow room for the Tamarack components. The resulting single-pass RFID insertion involves the brief opening of label stock for RFID inlay, then relamination via finishing operations. The new system then verifies RFID function with a reader system after die-cutting.

Jet Label selected the Tamarack system for its “profiling” motion that smooths inlay feeding, allowing for insertion at increased speeds. For Jet Label, a comprehensive line configuration eliminates the need for multiple production steps. The system is applicable to a variety of usage areas, including pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

“The new RFID inserting system will immediately impact our customers, chiefly through faster turnaround times,” says Darrell Friesen, President & CEO of Jet Label & Packaging Ltd. “By combining various features and capabilities, the RFID equipment will streamline this labeling and printing niche in a precise and expedient fashion.”
