RFID Label Printing & Encoding Service
Reduce RFID implementation time
When you are implementing a RFID solution, you don’t want the RFID tags to delay your deployment. With the wrong provider, obtaining the tags you need often extends your implementation timeline. You can face long lead times and high minimum orders; then you need to configure a printer to print and encode them. Avoid these issues and accelerate your RFID implementation with S & J Bar Code’s Printing and Encoding Service.
Whether you need to understand the performance and ROI of a RFID solution, or you need to meet a customer’s RFID tagging requirements, our Printing and Encoding Service delivers what you need, fast. Get serialized, pre-printed and encoded RFID tags to meet your specifications to support any pilot or compliance needs. Quickly acquire as little as 1,000 printed and encoded tags to meet the validation or compliance requirements.

Which deparments have to comply with Walmart’s RFID mandate?
As of February, 2023, Automotive, Electronics, Entertainment, Hardlines, Home Goods, Sporting Goods, and Toys must comply with Walmart’s RFID Mandate.
What needs to be printed on my RFID tags for Walmart?
An EPC logo must be printed on RFID tags, and other RFID Tag Mandates may specify the requirement of an additional component like UPC barcode.
How does Walmart want us to place our RFID tags on our products?
Placement depends on your product’s size, shape, and packaging. We can provide the advice to apply or tag the RFID label for your specific product that optimize for the performance of RFID labels.
