RFID is Poised for Change

The promised 80-99% reduction in cost of HF tags, by printing an alternative to the silicon chip, needs to be proven in mass markets. Someone from outer space would certainly be interested in the 1500 organisations developing printed electronics, including a minority even putting electronics onto paper, such as newcomer Additive Process Technologies that electroplates HF antennas onto paper using low cost materials in a reel to reel process or Hana Label in China that printed ten million HF labels with silver HF antennas last year.
