What Is an RFID Clothing Tag?

An RFID clothing tag is a small electronic tag attached to or embedded within garments. It contains a microchip and antenna capable of storing product information and communicating with RFID readers. These tags typically operate in UHF (860–960 MHz) for long-range reading or HF/NFC (13.56 MHz) for short-range applications. Each tag is uniquely coded, allowing retailers to monitor individual garments throughout the supply chain and in-store environment.

RFID clothing tags are designed to be lightweight, durable, and discreet, ensuring they do not affect the garment’s appearance, comfort, or quality. They can be sewn into clothing labels, attached as hangtags, or integrated during manufacturing.
