Inotec is proud to introduce its latest innovation in smart labelling \u2013 RFID Inmould Labels \u2013 a durable, high-performance solution that offers permanent identification and real-time tracking for reusable containers, even in the most demanding environments.<\/p>\n

Bringing together the advantages of RFID Auto ID and in-mould labelling, Inotec\u2019s RFID Inmould Labels offer durability, accuracy and sustainability. Developed in-house and tested in live customer applications, they are already helping leading logistics and packaging companies move away from single-use plastics while gaining full transparency across their supply chains.<\/p>\n

Smart tray tracking at scale<\/h4>\n

A recent collaboration with EPT (Euro Plant Tray) demonstrates the real-world benefits of this solution. In the plant wholesale sector, over 95% of trays are currently single-use, contributing to around 40,000 tonnes of discarded plastic waste each year in Europe alone. EPT sought a reusable alternative that could deliver both environmental gains and digital traceability.<\/p>\n

Working with EPT, Inotec<\/strong><\/a> developed a customised RFID inmould label that is seamlessly bonded to the reusable tray during injection moulding. This label offers exceptional durability \u2013 it is flush with the surface, waterproof, UV-resistant, and resistant to cleaning chemicals and mechanical impacts. Despite its compact size, it delivers a high-performance read range and allows bulk scanning of up to 1,000 trays simultaneously, with no line-of-sight required.<\/p>\n

EPT\u2019s trays now feature a secure, embedded RFID label that supports real-time tracking, inventory management, and cross-border reuse. The RFID inmould label is helping EPT reduce waste, optimise its processes, and set a new European standard for smart, reusable transport packaging<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Advanced performance, built to last Inotec\u2019s RFID inmould labels are based on its own INO-TAG DIOBOND range and incorporate high-performance NXP RAIN RFID chips.<\/p>\n

Key benefits include:<\/p>\n

\u25cf High-speed scanning \u2013 multiple tags can be read simultaneously, even at distances of up to 15 metres
\n\u25cf No line-of-sight required \u2013 increasing speed and accuracy while reducing labour
\n\u25cf Secure, high-capacity data storage \u2013 with the ability to store encrypted tracking and logistics data
\n\u25cf Extremely durable \u2013 scratch-proof, smear-proof, waterproof and resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations
\n\u25cf Fully recyclable \u2013 made from the same material as the container for easier recycling
\n\u25cf Reduced energy use \u2013 thanks to in-mould\u2019s one-step automated production process<\/p>\n

Ideal for regulated and high-compliance sectors RFID inmould labels are particularly suited to industries where hygiene, traceability and security are critical. In food and pharmaceuticals, the edgeless bond eliminates contamination risk and withstands freezing, washing and sterilisation. IML is also compliant with strict FDA regulations and prevents label tampering or counterfeiting, which is critical for protecting intellectual property and public health.<\/p>\n

“With RFID Inmould Labels, we\u2019re combining durability, traceability and environmental responsibility in one powerful solution,\u201d says David Stocker, General Manager at Inotec. \u201cAs seen with EPT, this technology helps our customers meet growing regulatory demands, streamline their processes and take a major step towards a circular economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
