Abstract
A method of forming a package includes forming a container comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material or intended to store an item comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material, and permanently attaching a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to the container. The RFID tag includes an antenna held in a position at least partially extending outward from the container such that the antenna is not shielded from RF signals by any metal components of the container or any metal held in the container. In another aspect, a package includes a container comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material or intended to store an item comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material. The package also includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag permanently affixed to the container. The RFID tag includes an antenna held in a position at least partially extending outward from the container.
