Hummel Print RFID Technology
According to a study by IATA and SITA from 2017, baggage tracking using RFID technology offers potential cost savings of more than 3 billion within the next seven years
The advantages of RFID
versus barcode technology
Line of sight not required
Detection from a greater distance
Localization and position detection of objects
Higher read rates
Writing and reading options, higher data capacities
Product portfolio
Industry, logistics and trade
RFID labels enable completely new applications in the logistical environment, for example for inventories and the tracking of objects.
Baggage Tags
RFID baggage tags enable the capture, tracking and, above all, the search for pieces of luggage by radio. For decades, baggage tags have mainly been using barcode technology.
RFID labels for industry, logistics and trade
RFID labels for industry, logistics and trade
RFID labels enable completely new applications in the logistics environment, for example in inventory and tracking objects. The question of where is which object with an assigned identity, in what condition and at what time can be answered with RFID. With suitable RFID readers, this type of label can be detected reliably and, above all, quickly by radio over a distance of several meters. Especially with large quantities of objects to be recorded, the speed of recording by radio is significantly superior to recording individual barcodes using barcode scanners. The passive RFID inlays do not have their own power supply but receive it from the radio waves emitted by the reader.
When selecting the inlays to be used, we work closely with the manufacturers established on the market in order to offer you the best solution for your process.
Some examples from our portfolio:
RFID labels with an embedded inlay between the upper and carrier material
RFID cardboard labels with attached inlay z. B. RFID Kanban labels
e.g. RFID Kanban Labels

RFID-Baggage Tags
But the database obtained through RFID baggage tags also offers great potential for future planning of baggage transportation at airports. Passive RFID inlays, integrated in baggage tags, can be used without any problems and their application has been specified accordingly by the IATA.
Hummel Print knows the exact requirements for RFID baggage tags. We would be happy to support you with our know-how.
In the following videos you can see examples of the quick registration of baggage items that have previously been equipped with RFID baggage tags, as well as the search for a previously registered piece of baggage using an RFID handheld scanner.
During production, we of course pay attention to the applicable standards and check the quality in the production process with appropriate measures.
Inlays e.g. from:
- Avery Dennison
- Smartrac
- Arizona
- Stora Enso
- Alien
Chips e.g. from:
- NXP
- Impinj
- Alien
Standards e.g. acc. to:
- Standard EPC Class1 GEN 2
- ISO 18000-6C (Frequenz 860-960 MHz)
- VDA 4994 (KLT 1 und KLT 2 Kleinladungsträger)
