We’re here to help you wherever you are on your RFID tag and label journey!

RFID Tags for Retail

The benefits of RFID for retail are proven. Improved inventory accuracy enables retailers to leverage inventory across store locations, enact omni-channel initiatives, improve sales, and increase margins by selling fewer merchandise at markdown.

FineLine Technologies has leveraged our core capabilities into integrated RFID tagging solutions to print and encode RFID tickets in 36 hours on average – just as fast as we print standard retail tickets.

RFID tags and labels are developed to meet customers’ total ticketing requirements: read performance, visual appearance, and application to merchandise.

Product features include: data transformations, global and regional print formats, color variable printing of logo, size bar, or product image, material, adhesive, and construction options.

Global retailers and brand owners use FineLine produced RFID hangtags and labels, including Macy’s, Target, Matalan, and Inditex.

Maximize Your RFID Investment

Maximize your RFID ROI by utilizing QCtrak*, FineLine’s patented software solution.  While RFID label and tag technology and its benefits are proven, it can be a challenge to source and apply RFID tags to merchandise correctly when requirements vary across retail customers.

An inlay approved by one retail customer may not be approved by another retail customer for the same product.  And applying the RFID tag to the wrong location on packaging may prevent the tag from reading at all!

QCtrak, eliminates the need to manage tagging requirements  manually by offering two applications – SCAN and AUDIT.  Both applications utilize a mobile device (phone or tablet), mobile application, and mobile UHF reader.

SCAN provides the user with immediate information about the RFID tag – the TID, encoded EPC, and decoded UPC for visual verification.

AUDIT guides the user through each step of a store audit. Following the ARC program standards developed by Auburn University.

Both applications upload reports to the cloud to be aggregated for reporting.

QCtrak supports the retailer’s RFID compliance program. With QCtrak, retailers can verify that only approved RFID inlays are used and are meeting performance standards and requirements.
