Summary: RFID Woven Labels—The Invisible Foundation of Apparel Digitization
This article explains how RFID Woven Labels are replacing traditional hangtags to become the essential tool for “item-level digital management” in the fashion industry.
Technical Superiority: The article highlights how RFID outperforms barcodes through non-line-of-sight reading, bulk processing, and unique identification. It confirms UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) as the industry standard due to its long range and high speed.
Solving Key Pain Points: Unlike stickers or hangtags that fall off or get swapped, woven labels are sewn directly into the garment. This eliminates “ghost inventory” and creates a permanent digital defense against counterfeiting.
Full Lifecycle Efficiency: It details the entire digital loop, from factory encoding and safe sewing techniques to warehouse “tunnel” scanning and smart retail checkouts.
Cost vs. Value: While the unit price is higher than paper tags, woven labels save money by removing manual tagging labor and increasing inventory accuracy from 70% to 99%.
Implementation Guide: The article provides a “pitfall avoidance” guide for production (avoiding high-heat ironing) and warehousing (managing metal interference). It also offers a checklist for project launches, emphasizing top-down management consensus.

FAQ
What printers can I use to print these cards?
The surface supports inkjet (with PVC card trays), thermal retransfer printers (e.g., Fargo, Evolis, Zebra) and offset CMYK. For direct-to-card dye-sub, we recommend retransfer for best edge-to-edge quality.
How is SLE4428 different from SLE4442 or FM4442?
All are contact memory cards. SLE4428 has 1 KB EEPROM with PSC; SLE4442/FM4442 provide 256 bytes. Choose SLE4428 when you need more memory or finer write-protect control.
Can you pre-encode PSC, numbers and barcodes?
Yes. We can initialize the PSC, set protected ranges, write serials/UID maps and generate barcode/QR per your template, then provide verification sheets.
Are these contact cards compatible with RFID (contactless) readers?
No. SLE4428 is a contact memory card (ISO7816 pads). If you need contactless, choose our 13.56 MHz NFC/MIFARE® cards—or ask for dual-interface solutions.
What is the typical lifespan?
EEPROM endurance is up to 100,000 write cycles with data retention ≥ 10 years. The PVC/PET body is wear-resistant and suitable for daily use in ID programs.
Need other chips? We also supply SLE4442 / FM4442 / SLE5528 / AT24C series with the same printing & personalization services.
