Abstract

An RFID device can comprise a flexible substrate and an RFID tag formed on the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate can be folded over to encapsulate and protect the RFID tag.

Claims

1. An RFID device comprising:

a flexible substrate; and

an RFID tag formed on the flexible substrate, wherein the flexible substrate is folded over to encapsulate and protect the RFID tag.

2. The RFID device of claim 1, wherein the RFID device is a RFID wristband.

3. The RFID device of claim 2, further comprising a connector on the RFID wristband.

4. The RFID device of claim 1, wherein the RFID tag includes an RFID antenna.

5. The RFID device of claim 4, wherein the RFID antenna has a conductive ink layer.

6. The RFID device of claims 1, wherein the substrate has a fold line.

7. The RFID device of claim 1, wherein the RFID tag includes an RFID chip.

8. The RFID device of claim 1, wherein the flexible substrate encapsulates the RFID tag under pressure.

9. The RFID device of claim 1, wherein the flexible substrate encapsulates the RFID tag using glue.

10. A method of forming an RFID tag comprising:

forming an RFID tag on a flexible substrate; and

folding the flexible substrate to encapsulate and protect the RFID tag.

11. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the RFID device is a RFID wristband.

12. The RFID method of claim 11, further comprising a connector on the RFID wristband.

13. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the RFID tag includes an RFID antenna.

14. The RFID method of claim 13, wherein the RFID antenna is folded along a conductive ink layer.

15. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the flexible substrate has a fold line.

16. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the RFID tag includes an RFID chip.

17. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the flexible substrate encapsulates the RFID tag under pressure.

18. The RFID method of claim 10, wherein the flexible substrate encapsulates the RFID tag using glue.

19. An RFID device comprising:

a flexible substrate; and

an RFID tag formed on the flexible substrate, wherein the flexible substrate is folded over to encapsulate and protect the RFID tag and wherein an element of the RFID tag is created by the folding of the flexible substrate.

20. The RFID device of claim 19, wherein the element is a capacitor.
