RFID inlays are smart labels comprising chip and antenna which are bonded on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer. In the overall RFID system, the RFID inlays act as the component which stores information regarding the product or component to which they are attached. The RFID inlay manufacturers offer various types of inlays ranging from dry inlays which can be incorporated into a label or wet inlays with adhesives which can be directly applied onto a product as a sticker. Thereby, end-users can choose between wet and dry inlays as per their specific requirements.

The RFID inlays operate primarily in three frequencies namely, ultra high frequency (UHF), high frequency (HF) and near field communication (NFC). Each of these technologies have their particular benefits and are suitable for a varied array of applications. For instance, UHF inlays offer a longer read distance making them apt for applications such as long range tracking, inventory management and logistics. The HF inlays offer a shorter read distance as compared to the UHF inlays and are suitable for applications where smaller quantity of items are needed to be scanned and identified. The NFC inlays operate in the same frequency as the HF inlays however, unlike HF inlays, NFC inlays can communicate with each other resulting in peer to peer communication. Thereby, NFC inlays have found numerous innovative applications such as mobile payments, interactive advertisement and promotions. The deployment of RFID inlays has offered immense benefits for end-use industries including apparel and retail; pharmaceutical and healthcare; transportation and logistics; industrial manufacturing; automotive; personnel identification and others (cosmetics, jewelry, library, media, documents, files, etc.).
