合過程中嵌入一天線至該波紋物品中，以下將詳細說明。 10 1322082 第1圖為一可通訊的波紋物品10，其本體内已加入一天 線12 ^天線12最好為一長條導電材料，譬如，可容納在波 紋物品10中的一長條箔片。波紋物品1〇可形成譬如一盒式 紙箱’譬如一波紋紙板箱或盒（譬如，以模型紙及膠水製 5 成）。因此，波紋物品10包括一第一襯片14, 一第二襯片20， 以及夾在其間的一波紋媒體16。該波紋媒體16以一黏著劑 18連接至該襯片14、20。各襯片14、20以及波紋媒體最好 以模型紙製成。第一襯片14具有一第一面24以及相對於第 —面的一第二面26。 10 天線12在製造波紋物品過程中截由定位天線在襯片14 的第一面24上（譬如内面）而嵌入波紋物品10中。天線12可以 黏著劑黏至襯片14，但在天線及襯片之間不必一定要使用 黏著劑。波紋結構體，如紙板，在傳統上係藉由施加長條 黏著劑18(譬如膠水)在襯片14、20之間，而波紋媒體16定位 15 在其間而製成。不受一特定理論所限制，天線12可在波紋 媒體16連接至襯片14之前，藉由置放天線12在毗鄰黏著劑 18長條的襯片上而固定在襯片14及波紋媒體16之間。如 此’天線12嵌入波紋物品中’在固定在黏著劑長條18之 間，而黏著劑長條繞著天線固持支持襯片14及波紋媒體 20 16。由於天線12係隱藏在波紋物品10内，它不容易自物品 中移開，且難以在無一附加標誌下找到天線，以下將詳細 說明。波紋物品1〇亦有助於保護天線12不受在運輸時施加 至物品的外力傷害。 第2圖顯示嵌在波紋物品10中的天線12。第1圖中的黏 11 1322082 著劑18亦施加至襯片14 ’然後連接至波紋媒體16，作為另 一種選擇’第2圖顯示的黏著劑大體上施加至波紋媒體16的 個別波紋（譬如’凹槽）的頂點22上。無論如何，黏著劑18 黏接波紋媒體16至襯片14、20，且亦有助於黏著天線12在 5波紋物品10中的適當位置。不受一特定理論所限，天線12 具可撓性，使得它可承受在組合過程中施加至波紋物品 10，且最好是一運輸容器時的彎曲力量。 第3圖顯示適於折疊成一運輸容器30的該可通訊波紋 物品10。嵌入波紋物品10中的是一天線12，該天線沿著波 10 紋物品1〇的長度延伸，使得當波紋物品折疊成一運輸容器 時，天線部份地圈成一環形天線，且進一步增加其有效性。 須瞭解的是，天線12的長度不限於大體上等於波紋物品10 的長度，因為天線的長度可依據用來與天線12耦合的一標 籤通訊的安全系統的需求而定，以下將詳細說明。 15 第4圖顯示以波紋物品1〇形成的運輸物品30。如第4圖 中所示，運輸容器30可使用習知技藝中的各種方法藉由折 疊波紋物品10而形成。回到第3圖’波紋物品10包括自波紋 物品的第一端34延伸的一口蓋32。為了形成運輸容器30 ’ 波紋物品10被折疊，若需要’口蓋32基本上以譬如黏著劑 20 及U形針，黏接至波紋物品的一第二端36’俾以關閉運輸容 器30的側邊。如第4圖中所示，當口蓋32黏接至第二端36 時，標籤與第二端的連接關閉邊緣38 ’並有助於密封，且 在結構上固定運輸容器。 第5圖顯示第4圖的運輸容器30的部份截面頂視圖。如 12 第5圖所示，波紋物品丨〇棬繞並折疊成運輸容器30。口蓋32 在第二端36下方折疊，並密封，俾以固定運輸容器的側壁。 天線12與波紋物品1〇—起折疊，但電線的兩端不碰觸。而 是’天線12本身上下重疊’且為波紋物品的寬度或厚度分 開’以形成一環形天線。 第6圖顯示運輸容器30的立體圖。該圖顯示沿著邊緣38 密封在一起的第一端34及第二端36,而口蓋32折疊在第二 端的内側。運輸容器30亦包括在第一襯片14的第二面26(譬 如外面）上的一天線信標40 ,其可為肉眼看到。天線信標4〇 在相對於天線12的襯片14之第二面上延伸，以標示天線的 位置。由於天線12係隱藏的，且嵌在波紋物品中，在無一 金屬或偵測器之下很難找到該天線。知道天線12在波紋物 品10中的位置對於決定一安全標籤必須置放在運輸容器30 上的位置’以形成一安全標籤（譬如RFID標藏，EAS標鐵） 疋十刀重要的。為使天線12増加安全標籤的可偵測性，安 全標籤必須導電地耦合至天線。 一旦天線12的位置得知後，—晶片或長條置放在天線 信標40上，並與天線作導電的聯結。譬如晶片可置放成 通過第襯片14而與天線作實質的接觸，或為一晶片長 條’該4長條具有不必與天線作實質接觸的—偶極，且 置放在天線上。該偶極最好置放成毗鄰天線12，且通過第 概片14電谷式地與天線耗合。在此結構下，藉由增加對 於讀取錢之感應性，以及增加其在單獨使用的一晶片長 條上的私錢傳輪信號之強度，天線I〗可增加晶片長條的 1322082 可偵測性。 第7圖顯示一例示的RFiD晶片42，其可導電地與天線 12輕合’以形成一RFID標藏。RFID晶片42具有一本體5〇， 一第一倒鉤44，一第二倒鉤46，以及在第一及第二倒鈞之 5間的一非導電散熱片48。倒鉤44、46以及散熱片48自一底 面58向内延伸，在RFID標籤製造過程中，本體5〇刺穿長條 導電材料（天線12) ’使得晶片固定在波紋物品1〇的表面（譬 如第二面26)上天線信標40。換言之，當晶片42定位在 天線彳§標40上，使得RF1D晶片置放在天線上（譬如長條導電 10材料)並降下時，自RFID晶片42的底部突出的散熱片48切割 天線的導電材料，以形成一 RHD天線的兩個分開部份或長 條。 第8及9圖顯示耦合至天線12的RFID晶片42。如第8圖 所示散熱片48具有的寬度至少與天線12的寬度相同，以 15確保切割。倒鉤44、46之寬度較天線丨2的寬度窄，使得當 RFIDaa片42連接至天線時，倒鉤穿刺，但不切割天線。 RHD晶片42藉由插入晶片至在天線信標4〇上的第— 襯片上而連接至波紋物品1〇，使得散熱片48切割天線12成 第一長條52及一第二長條54，且使得第一倒鉤44以電氣連 20接至第一長條52 ’而第二倒鉤46以電氣連接至第二長條 54,不受一特定理論所限，第—及第二倒鉤44 46各自最 好具有一彎曲部份56，該彎曲部份毗鄰RFID晶片42的本體 5〇的底面58，如第7圖所示。如此，可更安全地連接FRID 晶片42至運輸容器36及天線12。 14 5I: Prior Art: Description of J 2·Related Skills The detection or removal of retail items from an inventory or retail location is often the case in stores that are monitored by electronic items, and electronic item surveillance currently includes wireless frequency identification. EAS or RFID detection is basically achieved by applying an EAS or RHD security tag to the item or its packaging, and when the security label is exposed to a predetermined electromagnetic field (eg, at a retail outlet) On the counter, they start to provide some kind of warning and/or supply information to a receiver or other detector. However, the application of EAS or RFID security tags to items or their packaging is very expensive. The manufacture of full labels is a waste of resources. For example, e= Queen's sign basically consists of a resonant circuit that uses at least one coil, and at least—the electric barn' so when exposed to a pre-existing electromagnetic field (such as 8.2 bribe 2) in which the EAS tag is present, Operation, 俾 to resonance. For example, the coil and the electric valley are engraved on the substrate such that a plurality of turns of the conductive traces (and thus the coils) end up in the capacitor-forming plate-conductive trace pads. Alternatively, the conductive trace pads are engraved on opposite sides of the substrate to form a second capacitor plate, and an electrical connection is formed from the second plate through the substrate to the other end of the coil on the first side of the substrate. The non-conductive substrate can then act as an insulator between the two conductive line pads to form the electrical valley state. Therefore, a resonance circuit is formed. There are different types of products on the market, and are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,172,461, 5,1,8,822, 4,835,524, 4, 658, 264, and 4, 567, 473, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a Radio Frequency Identification (RHD) tag, it includes an integrated circuit 15 (IC) that is coupled to a previously described resonant circuit or coupled to emit a data signal in response to a predetermined electromagnetic field (e.g., 13_56 MHz). An antenna (for example, a dipole). In recent years, 1C connections have been electrically coupled to conductive flanges or strips to individual 1C contacts to form a , long strip of wafers. The elongated wafer is then electrically coupled to a resonant circuit or antenna. Patent 20,940,408 (Ferguson et al.); 6,665,193 (Chung et al.); 6,181,287 (Beigel); and 6,100,804 (Brady et al.). Safety systems are usually placed on the pawl by reading or The FRID and EAS labels on the carton operate at the height of the pawl or carton. Therefore, the art has been dedicated to the method of attaching the label 6 1322082 to the carton by placing the tag in or out of the carton. Patent 6,667,092 discloses a corrugated structure having a first and second inner liner, the inner liner being provided with a corrugated medium sandwiched between the first and second inner liners, and coupled to the inner liner An FRID processor between the board and the corrugated medium. The 1117 processor is positioned at a 5 entrance, or a label, and may also include an antenna. The corrugated structure is formed by providing a lining Board in a corrugated medium, positioning an RF The processor is between the liner and the corrugated medium, and connects the liner and the corrugated medium, and the RF device is positioned therebetween. However, the RF processor is disposed in the liner and the Between the corrugated media, tension can be increased by refining the 111?11) wafer when processing the RFID-initiated corrugated structure. Furthermore, since the wafer must be inserted into the corrugated structure before the formation of the cassette, the wafer The position must match the size of the box to ensure that each box holds the desired wafer. The industry needs to effectively prepare or integrate a security tag that is equipped with an effective and reliable corrugated structure. 15 Another one-foot factory structure Attempts to apply to a corrugated structure are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/457,890, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference to the """""""" A multi-step method for erecting an RFID tag on a transport item is disclosed. The method includes applying a conductive strip to the surface of the transport article and attaching an RFID wafer to the guide Step of stripping. To prevent shorting of the RFID wafer, the wafer includes a non-conductive heat sink extending from the wafer body and adapted for use in a conductive strip between the conductive bumps or barbs on the wafer The bore forms a gap and the conductive strip is divided on the other side of the heat sink. Other methods are preferably provided to integrate the security 7 label and the corrugated structure. The above-mentioned patents are incorporated herein by reference. C SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 3 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A method for making a communicable corrugated article includes preparing a liner (such as a model paper), a corrugated medium (such as a corrugated model paper), and a conductive strip (such as metal, aluminum, Iron wire), positioning the conductive strip between the lining and the corrugated medium, fixing the lining and the corrugated medium together, and positioning the conductive strip therebetween to form a corrugated structure, and connecting the security label (such as 'RFID, EAS, 1C 'long chip' RFID tags, EAS tags) to conductive strips relative to the profile. The step of lightly attaching the security tag to the conductive strip may include securing the security tag to the conductive strip with a staple. Additionally, the step of coupling the security tag to the conductive strip can include attaching a label to the liner and the label surrounding the security wafer (e.g., 1C, EAS' or RFID connected to a dipole). The method can also include providing a second liner (e.g., molding paper) and securing the second liner to the corrugated media relative to the liner. Additionally, the party may include constructing the item into a shipping container. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a communicable corrugated article includes a lining (such as a model paper) and a corrugated medium (for example, a corrugated model is a conductive strip (such as metal, aluminum, a wire, a coil) and a security tag (such as an RFID chip, an EAS chip, an integrated circuit, a wafer strip, an RFID tag, an EAS tag). The lining has a first side and a second side. The corrugated medium is coupled To the first side of the liner, and the conductive strip is positioned on the first side of the liner between the liner and the grooved medium. The security label is attached to the second side of the liner relative to the conductive strip, And coupled to the conductive strip by a lining, in an example, the conductive strip has a width; and the security label includes a body, a first conductive element, a second conductive element, and a non-conductive heat sink therebetween.

I. Embodiment 3 Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments, but it should be understood that the invention 20 is not limited thereto. The embodiments described below generally comprise a corrugated article (such as cardboard, flat and corrugated layers of model paper) provided with an antenna (such as a conductive strip) placed in a layer of corrugated articles and fabricated with a security wafer Conductive connectivity. The corrugated article is made in a conventional combination and preferably embeds an antenna into the corrugated article during assembly, as will be described in more detail below. 10 1322082 Figure 1 shows a communicable corrugated article 10 having a day line added to the body. 12 The antenna 12 is preferably a strip of electrically conductive material, such as a strip of foil that can be received in the corrugated article 10. The corrugated article 1 can be formed, for example, as a box of cartons, such as a corrugated cardboard box or box (for example, made of model paper and glue). Accordingly, the corrugated article 10 includes a first liner 14, a second liner 20, and a corrugated media 16 sandwiched therebetween. The corrugated medium 16 is attached to the linings 14, 20 by an adhesive 18. The linings 14, 20 and the corrugated medium are preferably made of model paper. The first lining 14 has a first face 24 and a second face 26 opposite the first face. The antenna 12 is embedded in the corrugated article 10 by the positioning antenna on the first side 24 of the lining 14 (e.g., the inner face) during the manufacture of the corrugated article. The antenna 12 can be adhered to the lining 14 by an adhesive, but it is not necessary to use an adhesive between the antenna and the lining. Corrugated structures, such as paperboard, have traditionally been made by applying a strip of adhesive 18 (such as glue) between the linings 14, 20 with the corrugated media 16 positioned 15 therebetween. Without being bound by a particular theory, the antenna 12 can be secured between the lining 14 and the corrugated media 16 by placing the antenna 12 on a lining adjacent the strip of adhesive 18 before the corrugated medium 16 is attached to the lining 14. . Thus, the 'antenna 12 is embedded in the corrugated article' is fixed between the adhesive strips 18, and the adhesive strip holds the support lining 14 and the corrugated medium 20 16 around the antenna. Since the antenna 12 is hidden within the corrugated article 10, it is not easily removed from the article and it is difficult to find the antenna without an additional sign, as will be described in more detail below. The corrugated article 1 also helps to protect the antenna 12 from external forces applied to the article during transport. Figure 2 shows the antenna 12 embedded in the corrugated article 10. The adhesive 11 1322082 of the adhesive 18 in Figure 1 is also applied to the liner 14' and then to the corrugated media 16, as an alternative. The adhesive shown in Figure 2 is applied substantially to the individual corrugations of the corrugated media 16 (e.g. The apex 22 of the groove). In any event, the adhesive 18 bonds the corrugated media 16 to the linings 14, 20 and also helps to position the antenna 12 in place in the 5 corrugated article 10. Without being bound by a particular theory, the antenna 12 is flexible such that it can withstand the bending forces applied to the corrugated article 10, and preferably a transport container, during the assembly process. Figure 3 shows the communicable corrugated article 10 adapted to be folded into a shipping container 30. Embedded in the corrugated article 10 is an antenna 12 that extends along the length of the wave-like article 1〇 such that when the corrugated article is folded into a transport container, the antenna is partially looped into a loop antenna and further increases its effectiveness. . It will be appreciated that the length of the antenna 12 is not limited to being substantially equal to the length of the corrugated article 10, as the length of the antenna may depend on the needs of the security system for communicating with a tag coupled to the antenna 12, as will be described in more detail below. 15 Fig. 4 shows a transport article 30 formed of corrugated articles 1〇. As shown in Fig. 4, the shipping container 30 can be formed by folding the corrugated article 10 using various methods in the prior art. Returning to Fig. 3, the corrugated article 10 includes a flap 32 extending from the first end 34 of the corrugated article. To form the shipping container 30' the corrugated article 10 is folded, if desired, the 'slip cover 32 is substantially bonded to a second end 36' of the corrugated article, such as the adhesive 20 and the U-shaped needle, to close the side of the shipping container 30. . As shown in Figure 4, when the flap 32 is adhered to the second end 36, the attachment of the label to the second end closes the edge 38' and aids in sealing and structurally secures the shipping container. Fig. 5 is a partial cross-sectional top view showing the transport container 30 of Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 5, the corrugated article is wound and folded into a transport container 30. The flap 32 is folded under the second end 36 and sealed to secure the side wall of the shipping container. The antenna 12 is folded together with the corrugated article 1 but the ends of the wire are not touched. Instead, the antenna 12 itself overlaps vertically and is separated by the width or thickness of the corrugated article to form a loop antenna. Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the transport container 30. The figure shows the first end 34 and the second end 36 sealed together along the edge 38, and the flap 32 is folded inside the second end. The transport container 30 also includes an antenna beacon 40 on the second side 26 (e.g., the outside) of the first lining 14, which is visible to the naked eye. The antenna beacon 4 延伸 extends on a second side of the lining 14 relative to the antenna 12 to indicate the position of the antenna. Since the antenna 12 is hidden and embedded in the corrugated article, it is difficult to find the antenna without a metal or detector. Knowing the position of the antenna 12 in the corrugated article 10 is important to determine where a security tag must be placed on the transport container 30 to form a security tag (e.g., RFID tag, EAS tag). In order for the antenna 12 to add detectability to the security tag, the security tag must be electrically coupled to the antenna. Once the position of the antenna 12 is known, the wafer or strip is placed on the antenna beacon 40 and electrically coupled to the antenna. For example, the wafer can be placed in substantial contact with the antenna through the lining 14 or as a wafer strip. The 4 strips have dipoles that do not have to be in substantial contact with the antenna and are placed over the antenna. Preferably, the dipole is placed adjacent to the antenna 12 and is electrically coupled to the antenna by the first slice 14. Under this structure, by increasing the sensitivity to reading money and increasing the intensity of the private money transmission signal on a wafer strip used alone, the antenna I can increase the 1322082 detectable of the wafer strip. Sex. Figure 7 shows an exemplary RFiD wafer 42 that is electrically conductively coupled to antenna 12 to form an RFID tag. The RFID wafer 42 has a body 5A, a first barb 44, a second barb 46, and a non-conductive fin 48 between the first and second inverted turns. The barbs 44, 46 and the heat sink 48 extend inwardly from a bottom surface 58 during which the body 5 punctures the strip of electrically conductive material (antenna 12) 'so that the wafer is attached to the surface of the corrugated article 1 (eg, The second side 26) is on the antenna beacon 40. In other words, when the wafer 42 is positioned on the antenna 40 so that the RF1D wafer is placed on the antenna (such as a strip of conductive material 10) and lowered, the heat sink 48 protruding from the bottom of the RFID wafer 42 cuts the conductive material of the antenna. To form two separate parts or strips of an RHD antenna. Figures 8 and 9 show the RFID wafer 42 coupled to the antenna 12. The heat sink 48, as shown in Fig. 8, has a width at least equal to the width of the antenna 12 to ensure cutting. The width of the barbs 44, 46 is narrower than the width of the antenna cymbal 2 such that when the RFIDaa sheet 42 is attached to the antenna, the barbs puncture but do not cut the antenna. The RHD wafer 42 is connected to the corrugated article 1 by inserting the wafer onto the first lining on the antenna beacon 4, such that the heat sink 48 cuts the antenna 12 into a first strip 52 and a second strip 54, and The first barb 44 is electrically connected to the first strip 52' and the second barb 46 is electrically connected to the second strip 54 without being limited by a particular theory. The first and second barbs 44 Each of 46 preferably has a curved portion 56 that abuts the bottom surface 58 of the body 5 of the RFID wafer 42 as shown in FIG. As such, the FRID wafer 42 can be connected to the transport container 36 and the antenna 12 more securely. 14 5

This is by any conventional packaging. Of course, the bottom 58 of the wafer protrudes regardless of whether the wafer is packaged, the barbs 44, 46 and the non-conductor owe. The non-conductive heat sink 48 can be of a conventional non-conductive material that is rigid enough to be divided into two separate strips 52 that are operable to isolate the antenna. For example, the non-conductive fins 48 can be made of quartz. The RFm wafer 42 Ray = line can be electrically connected using other means than the barbs. For example, the material is passed through the model paper and attached to the antenna's short-cone lacing body. It is formed by the method of the present invention, and the female full-scale mosquito is on the New Zealand U), such as the transport capacity (4). The security label includes an antenna 12 housed in the corrugated article 10, the corrugated article 1 is electrically or capacitively coupled to the security wafer 42, and the security wafer 42 has a body 5, a first and a second conductive point (eg, The first contact 44 and the second barb 46 are plastically formed, for example, a conductive paste of a shape such as a taper, a plug, a flange, and the like, and a non-conductive fin 48 between the first and second conductive points. The antenna 12 is most likely to be a long strip of conductive material, in the form of a (four) shirt. For example, the antenna can be a loop antenna, or a coil, such as an antenna of -13.56 MHz. Alternatively, the security wafer can include a region of conductive material as its first And a second conductive point, and the conductive material region is connected to a separate strip of conductive material forming a dipole antenna. Figure 10 shows that this example shows that the security chip 6 (such as RFDI, EAS) is electrically conductive to form _ The dipoles of the conductive materials 62, 64 are separated by strips. The wafer 60 and the dipole antenna 66 together form a wafer strip 67 which, as shown in Fig. 10, is connected to a label 15 1322082 68. Label 68 includes an adhesive that allows the label to be fixed At the transport container 30 at the antenna beacon 4, where the wafer strip 67 is capacitively lighted to the antenna 12' without substantial contact with the antenna" when capacitively coupled to the antenna 12, The communication range of the wafer can be significantly increased. 5 Without being bound by a particular theory, the security wafer 60 can include a 111711) tag having an integral coupled to a resonant circuit and/or an antenna (such as a dipole). Circuit (ic), and the antenna responds with a predetermined electromagnetic field (such as 13 56 MHz 'UHF range: approximately 850 MHz - 950 MHz or microwave range: approximately 2.3 GHz - 2.6 GHz) to issue a data signal. In recent years, the connection 10 of the IC can be accomplished by electrically coupling a conductive terminal (e.g., a flange) to a respective 1C contact (e.g., by crimping or adhering) to form a wafer strip. The wafer strip is then electrically connected to the resonant circuit or antenna. Wafer strips are well known in the art, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,940,408 (Ferguson et al.); 6,665,193 (Chung et al.); 6,181 287 (Beigel); and 15 61〇〇804 (Brady et al. The disclosure of this patent is incorporated herein by reference. Figure 11 shows a label 70 that houses a security tag 76 of an exemplary embodiment that is used in conjunction with an antenna secured in the corrugated article 1 to communicate within the S-Eas or RFID range. The security tag 76 includes a security wafer 60 that projects over the conductive terminal 20 to collectively form a wafer strip 74. A wafer strip 74 is applied across the conductive strip 62 across the dipole 66, the inwardly facing proximal end of the material, as shown in FIG. Conductive terminations 72 are electrically coupled (e.g., by crimping or adhesive bonding) to individual conductive strips, turns of dipole 66 to form a security tag 76. 16 Referring again to Fig. 11, the security tag 76 also includes a conductive rod 78, preferably made of metal (e.g., aluminum), and positioned adjacent to the dipole 66. In particular, the conductive rod 7 is a thin conductive strip which is placed in close proximity but does not contact the retracted ends 80, 82 of the dipole 66. The conductive rod 78 has a fifth end 84 other than the distal end 8 of the strip 62, a second end 86 outside the distal end 82 of the strip 64, and extends generally therebetween in a rectangular configuration. Not limited to - specific theory. The advantage of the conductive rod 78 is that the signal from the safety tag 76 can be enhanced to increase the distance between reading and writing. As shown in Fig. 11, the security tag 76 and the conductive bar 78 are connected to or accommodated. Lai 7〇 and the above standard _ very _. In particular, the label 70 includes an adhesive backing that allows the label to be secured to the transport container 30 at the antenna beacon 4 where the security tag 76 and the conductive rod are capacitively coupled to the antenna 12, thus, The communication range of the security tag 76 is significantly increased. For example, the inventors have found that the security tag 76 is only in one inch of the antenna 12 fixed in the corrugated article 10 by the connection tag 7〇 and the security tag % 15 and the conductive rod 78. The read range has increased from about one inch to more than 15 inches. It should be understood that the method and apparatus for fabricating an in-mold circuit are exemplary embodiments of the invention, which are merely illustrative of the invention. The concept of the present invention is applicable to various preferred embodiments, including the disclosure of the present invention. The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments. In spirit, the invention can be modified and altered. For example, a security wafer can be placed in an electrically conductive manner in communication with an antenna embedded in a corrugated article. The method 'an antenna beacon is not necessary because, for example, a metal detector 17 1322082 detector can detect the position of the antenna, and a wafer applicator can place the wafer according to the discovery of the metal detector. Alternatively, The position of the antennas can be aligned to know their position for proper wafer placement. The above disclosure fully illustrates the present invention by current or future knowledge, but the invention can be modified to apply to a variety of different industries.
