Abstract

A smart RFID tire label in which the RFID antenna base film is the label face sheet. The antenna pattern, chip and pressure sensitive adhesive are on one side of the base film. This side is applied against the tire surface. The antenna base film acts as the durable label material protecting the antenna and chip from harsh environments associated with tire manufacturing and the wheel/chassis assembly process. The label may be large enough to seal the RFID insert when the label is attached to a tire, thus further protecting the RFID insert from damage.

Claims

1. A smart label comprising:

a label film, having a first side and a second side,

an adhesive layer on the first side of the label film, and

an RFID between the label film and the adhesive, said RFID comprising an RFID antenna and an integrated circuit; and

wherein the label film is an RFID antenna base film, the RFID antenna pattern is printed on the first side of the label film.

2. The smart label of claim 1 wherein the RFID antenna base film is a polyamide film.
