A typical RFID label is similar to a typical pressure-sensitive label but with a UHF RFID transponder (or inlay) embedded between the face stock and release liner. This inlay uses tiny microchips and an antenna to store information and transmit it to specially designed RFID readers.
The information is encoded on the inlay using a specially designed printer encoder such as the Printronix Auto ID T6000e, T4000 or T800 RFID printers, and these labels can be printed with additional information such as a traditional barcode, product identification, or shipping information.

Much like barcodes, RFID is used to track and capture information about products, assets and inventory and is used in applications such as tracking goods through the supply chain and managing inventory in retail stores.
