Controlling vehicle access to individual locations – whether it’s corporate facilities, gated communities or  downtown parking lots – can be a challenge. Eliminate the need for on-site staff and the hassle of stopping for a card reader with Metalcraft’s RFID Windshield Tag. 

Unlike other windshield tags on the market, the Metalcraft RFID Windshield Tag utilizes passive RFID UHF technology offering a more economical option to the active windshield tags available. Encased between thin layers of polyester, the specialized inlay doesn’t require a standoff to read either through or on a glass windshield. This product provides a read range of approximately 18+ feet. A tamper-evident option with strategically placed slits in the label and adhesive layers is also available at no additional cost.

Serialization Bar code and human-readable equivalent is produced using the latest high-resolution digital technology available, which provides excellent clarity and easy scanning.

Label Copy The label copy may include block type, stylized type, logos or other designs. All copy, block type, logos, designs, and bar code are subsurface printed. This unique process provides excellent resistance to solvents, caustics, acids and moderate abrasion.
