RFID in Japan

AICA Kogyo Company and Toppan Forms Co., Ltd. developed RFID labels that can be directly pasted on metal surfaces (like stickers). They are flexible and can be pasted on curved surfaces.

Conventional RFID tags for metal surfaces are thick so as to avoid disturbance of RF signals. AICA Kogyo Company developed a certain magnetic substance that can be used to create a thin layer between a label's sticky surface and RFID chip/antenna.
