This tutorial will explain the various options for RFID tags and readers, and how to order them. Our suppliers for RFID tags require at least 6 weeks to manufacture and ship custom tags, so please make sure you give yourself enough time. Any orders made under the 6 week cut-off will incur a rush fee. We can ship an RFID reader and some sample tags for testing with a lead time of 1 week.
After you've selected your tags, please email us at [email protected] with the style and quantity you want. We'll also need any artwork you want applied to your tags.
