Abstract

A label to be attached on a plastic product formed in a mold and identifiable by a detecting device includes a soft circuit board, a protective layer and an adhesive layer. The soft circuit board has its outer surface provided with a radio frequency identifiable device (RFID). The protective layer is transparent, adhered on the outer surface of the soft circuit board for protecting and enabling RFID identified by a signal transmitted by a wireless detecting device. The adhering layer is made of a compound material and adhered on an inner layer for protecting the inner surface of the soft circuit board and the RFID as well. The label is attached on a plastic product during injecting molding process, widely usable for identifying an object affixed with the label by means of a detecting device.

Claims

1. A label to be attached on a plastic product formed in a mold and identifiable by a detecting device, said label comprising:

a plastic product formed integral with said label and

a fastening member for affixing said label together with said plastic product to an object;

wherein said plastic product is provided with a female or male coupling to connect to a male or female coupling of an antenna for extending the length of the antenna of a radio frequency identifiable device (RFID) to be provided on an outer surface of said label.

2. The label to be attached on a plastic product formed in a mold and identifiable by a detecting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fastening member is formed integral with said plastic product.

3. The label to be attached on a plastic product formed in a mold and identifiable by a detecting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plastic product is bored with one or more holes for said fastening member to fit through.
