Description

  The present invention relates to an RFID label sheet and an RFID label for attaching RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to an article so as to perform contactless communication with a reader / writer.

  In recent years, a technology related to non-contact type IC media called RFID has been rapidly advanced, and an IC chip to be mounted has become smaller and cheaper. This RFID is produced by forming an antenna pattern as an antenna portion on a base material and attaching an IC chip mounted inlet to another base base material. An RFID label is obtained by applying an adhesive to the material. Such an RFID label is affixed to an article and used for article management by non-contact communication with a reader / writer, but basically avoids communication failure when the surface of the article to be affixed is metal or the like. On the other hand, convenience during use is desired.

  Conventionally, when attaching an RFID label to an article such as a metal that is prone to communication failure, it has been known that the more the RFID inlet is separated from the metal surface, the easier it is to avoid the communication failure. Has been. For example, when an RFID label is affixed to a metal surface article, the RFID inlet portion is folded alone (Patent Document 1), or a space region is formed between the RFID inlet portion and the metal surface of the article. It has been proposed to have a bent shape (Patent Documents 2 and 3), and to fold an RFID label sheet into a hollow quadrangular prism (Patent Document 4).
