Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Walmart RFID mandate?

Walmart requires suppliers in certain categories (apparel, home goods, electronics, sporting goods, toys) to apply RFID tags at the item level before shipping. Non-compliance can result in chargebacks or lost business. We help suppliers meet these requirements with compliant RFID labels.

What RFID chip/inlay should I use for retail?

Most retail applications use UHF RAIN RFID inlays (Impinj Monza, NXP UCODE). We'll recommend the best inlay based on your product type, read range needs, and retailer requirements.

Can you encode EPC data for us?

Yes. We encode each tag with your unique EPC (Electronic Product Code), including SGTIN, serialized data, and any retailer-specific formatting requirements.

How fast can you deliver?
