SATO America announces RFID partnership with CCL Label

CCL Label is set to manufacture all RFID tags and labels for SATO America and resell SATO RFID-enabled printers, following the signing of a partnership agreement between the two companies.

Claimed to offer a convenient and inexpensive way to produce labels and tags with RFID capability, SATO's RFID Kit is designed for its CL408e(2) and CL412e(2) printers with serial numbers higher than 20390000.

Utilizing high frequency chips embedded in the labels, the SATO RFID Kit enables these machines to print on the label and program the chip inside the label simultaneously. The SATO RFID Kit consists of an interface card and transmitter module and currently works with chips that operate in the 13.56 MHz range. Compatible products include TagIt from Texas Instruments and I-Code from Philips.
