Q1) How to buy RFID label on GeM portal?

You can buy RFID labels on GeM by searching “RFID Label” or “UHF RFID Label”, comparing specifications like frequency, reading range, adhesive type, and then placing an order through an approved GeM seller. Buy RFID label on GeM portal.

Q2) Which RFID label is best for inventory management on GeM?

For inventory and asset tracking, UHF RFID labels (860–960 MHz) are generally best because they provide longer read range, faster bulk scanning, and better performance for warehouses and stock verification.

Q3) What is the difference between RFID label and RFID tag?

An RFID label is usually a thin, adhesive sticker-type RFID, best for cartons, files, and plastic surfaces.
An RFID tag can be a hard tag, rugged tag, or metal-mount tag used for harsh environments and durable tracking.

Q4) What is the price of RFID labels on GeM portal?

RFID label pricing on GeM depends on type (HF/UHF), memory, adhesive quality, size, and quantity. Bulk procurement reduces per-unit cost significantly for institutions and government departments.

Q5) Can RFID labels be printed with barcode and RFID together?

Yes. Many RFID labels support dual printing where the same label can have barcode/QR + human-readable text + RFID encoding, which is useful for hybrid scanning and smooth migration from barcode to RFID.

Q6) Which RFID label is best for carton and packaging tracking?

For cartons and logistics, UHF RFID labels are ideal due to better read range and bulk reading capability. These labels help track cartons, boxes, and dispatch inventory efficiently.

Q7) Do RFID labels work on metal assets like machines and instruments?

Standard RFID labels do not work properly on metal because metal interferes with RFID signals.
For metal surfaces, you should procure on-metal RFID labels/tags (special foam-backed or metal-mount types).

Q8) Can RFID labels be used for office file tracking in government departments?

Yes. RFID labels are widely used for file tracking, record management, and movement control in government offices to reduce file loss, speed up audits, and improve accountability.

Q9) Do you supply RFID labels in bulk for universities and PSUs?

Yes, bulk supply is available for universities, colleges, PSUs, smart offices, warehouses, and government departments, including standardized packing, documentation, and compliance as per GeM requirements.

Q10) Can RFID labels be pre-encoded with EPC/UID before delivery?

Yes. RFID labels can be supplied with pre-encoding (EPC/UID/serial number mapping), which saves deployment time and ensures consistent asset tagging during installation.

Q11) Which RFID label is best for IT asset tagging (laptop, printer, UPS)?

For IT assets, UHF RFID labels work well on plastic surfaces and general equipment.
For devices with metal surfaces or interference, on-metal RFID labels are recommended for stable scanning performance.

Q12) Do you provide RFID readers and handheld scanners with RFID labels?

Yes. A complete RFID solution can include:

• RFID labels/tags
• Handheld RFID scanners
• Fixed readers (optional)
• Encoding support
• Integration assistance (if required)

This ensures buyers can start asset tracking immediately after procurement.

Q13) What specifications should I check before buying RFID labels on GeM?

You should verify:

• Frequency: HF (13.56 MHz) or UHF (860–960 MHz)
• Read range requirement
• Label size and inlay type
• Adhesive strength
• Print compatibility (thermal transfer/direct)
• Memory (EPC/User memory)
• Surface type (normal/on-metal)

Q14) Are RFID labels compatible with existing RFID software?

Most RFID labels follow global standards like EPC Gen2 / ISO, so they work with most RFID readers and RFID software platforms. Compatibility mainly depends on reader frequency and encoding format.

Q15) How many RFID labels should we buy for a government asset tracking project?

You should purchase RFID labels equal to:

• Total assets + 5–10% extra buffer
  This buffer helps for replacement, re-tagging, and future expansion without delays.
