Abstract

L’invention entend faciliter l’application d’un label d’étiquette sur un objet sans compromettre la connexion entre une section de circuit intégré d’un élément de circuit d’étiquette radio et une antenne. Elle porte alors un ruban de renfort (101) ayant des éléments de circuit d’étiquette radio (To) disposés sur celui-ci dans sa direction longitudinale, les éléments de circuit (To) ayant chacun une section de circuit intégré (151) permettant de stocker des informations d’étiquette et une antenne (152) assurant la transmission et la réception d’informations. Le ruban de renfort (101) possède un papier détachable (101d) recouvrant une couche adhésive (101c) pour appliquer les éléments de circuit d’étiquette radio (To) sur un objet et on le retire au moment de l’application. Un fil à moitié découpé (HL) est disposé en cet endroit du papier détachable (101d) qui n’inclut pas la position correspondant à une connexion entre la section de circuit intégré (151) et l’antenne (152).
