CT - HF Label Ø45 (SLIX2)

Round. ISO-compliant. Print-ready. Your HF tag in Ø45 format.

Need an HF | NFC - RFID label that follows the geometry of caps, lids, sample tubes or circular labelling areas instead of fighting them? The CT HF Label Ø45 mm with NXP ICODE SLIX2 is built exactly for that. Its round 45 mm footprint mirrors the typical contour of closures, petri dishes, glass bottoms, container lids and tool holders, so the tag stays flush with the surface and survives daily handling without lifting at corners or tearing at edges.

Electrically, the label operates at 13.56 MHz in accordance with ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 1. The ICODE SLIX2 silicon provides 2,528 bits of user memory, a unique 64-bit UID and full EAS/AFI support – enough for serial numbers, batch data, container IDs or library-style sorting schemes. Read and write operations work with any ISO 15693-compliant reader, including NFC smartphones and HF readers from vendors such as HID, Feig or Elatec.

Mechanically, the tag is built on a matt white paper substrate with a self-adhesive backing. This makes the label both visually printable – via thermal transfer or direct thermal – and electronically writable, combining plain text, barcode and RFID on a single circular surface. The product is supplied on roll in a standard web width, allowing direct processing on existing RFID printers and encoding lines.

The following part numbers are available in the IDCRAFT online shop – each variant is designed for a specific use case:

• SL-SLIX2-45 – CT HF Label with a round Ø 45 mm footprint on matt white paper, equipped with NXP ICODE SLIX2 (ISO/IEC 15693, 13.56 MHz, 2,528 bits user memory, 64-bit UID, EAS/AFI). Self-adhesive, thermal printable (transfer and direct thermal), supplied on roll for processing on RFID printers with HF encoding module. The right choice when an ISO 15693 tag has to sit flush with lids, caps, round labelling fields or cylindrical containers.

The circular die-cut reduces mechanical stress on edges and corners compared to rectangular formats – an advantage in applications where labels are frequently touched, wiped or pulled across surfaces. Pricing, stock levels and volume tiers for the CT HF Label Ø45 mm are available on the IDCRAFT shop page. As a Value Added Distributor for HF | NFC – RFID labels, readers and printers, IDCRAFT can also supply matching read/write hardware and encoding software from a single source.

Technical Highlights

• ISO/IEC 15693 & ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 1 – seamless integration into HF | NFC - RFID infrastructure
• ICODE SLIX2 memory – 2,528 bits user memory, EAS, AFI, password protection
• Round Ø 45 mm format – flush mounting on lids, caps and circular labelling areas
• 13.56 MHz HF carrier – readable with NFC smartphones and ISO 15693 readers
• Paper substrate, self-adhesive, on roll – ready for RFID printers with HF encoder

Applications

• Laboratory & research – tagging of petri dishes, sample tubes and reagent lids
• Container and tote management – tag on lids of buckets, cans, drums and boxes
• Tool and workpiece carriers – round tag pocket on tool holders and pallets
• Libraries & archives – AFI/EAS marking of CDs, DVDs and other circular media

The CT HF Label Ø45 mm closes the gap in the IDCRAFT HF label portfolio where rectangular labels run into their geometric limits: lids, caps and circular labelling fields. Electrically it behaves exactly like the square 45×45 standard label, so the round version can be deployed in parallel without changes to reader setup, middleware or data model. Customers already running ICODE SLIX2-based tags can therefore extend their footprint to round assets without any additional integration effort.

The combination of paper substrate and self-adhesive backing keeps the unit price down and makes this tag a pragmatic choice for high-volume rollouts or for items with a limited lifecycle. At the same time the material remains flexible enough to bond reliably on slightly curved surfaces such as caps and lids.

Additional sizes, printing and encoding on request: Beyond the standard Ø 45 mm diameter, IDCRAFT can supply round HF labels with ICODE SLIX2 in additional diameters and on alternative substrates (e.g. PET). We also offer custom artwork printing (logo, plain text, barcode, numbering ranges) and pre-encoding of the ICODE SLIX2 memory and security areas (UID mapping, AFI, EAS, password protection) to your specification.
