Tageos has announced a significant expansion of its product portfolio with the launch of new NFC and dual frequency RFID inlays designed to support next generation consumer engagement, brand protection and anti tamper applications. The new range uses the latest high performance chips from EM Microelectronic and positions Tageos to meet the rising demand for highly secure and versatile RFID solutions across sectors such as healthcare, retail, luxury goods, pharmaceuticals and packaged consumer products.
The announcement confirms that the new inlays are fully compatible with global NFC and RAIN RFID standards. This makes them suitable for almost any environment in which brands or manufacturers require both item level traceability and secure digital interactions. By combining NFC’s short range, consumer facing functionality with the long range capability of RAIN RFID, the dual frequency inlays allow a single tag to support supply chain management and end user engagement at the same time.
A key focus of the release is anti tamper capability. The new NFC inlays include features that make it possible to detect when a product has been opened or interfered with. This can support regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics where integrity seals are essential for both safety and compliance. For brand owners selling premium items, the technology helps protect against counterfeiting and ensures that customers can verify authenticity instantly using a smartphone.
The new inlays also include advanced memory architectures and secure authentication functions powered by EM Microelectronic chips. These support encrypted communication, secure unique identifiers and the ability to run brand specific digital experiences. When consumers tap a product with their smartphone, brands can provide usage instructions, personalised content, loyalty programmes, warranty registration or sustainability information. This supports the growing industry trend of turning everyday products into digital touchpoints that build stronger customer relationships.
From a manufacturing standpoint, Tageos stresses that the new inlays maintain the company’s focus on sustainability and certified production. The inlays are produced using FSC certified materials and follow Tageos sustainability guidelines that support reduced waste, responsible sourcing and minimal environmental impact across the RFID lifecycle. This aligns with increasing regulatory and retail pressure for more sustainable packaging and labelling solutions.
Industry analysts note that Tageos is one of the fastest growing RFID inlay manufacturers. The addition of these NFC and dual frequency products broadens its offering and strengthens its competitive position, particularly as demand for connected products continues to accelerate globally. With companies looking for trustworthy, secure and scalable identification solutions, the combination of EM Microelectronic chip technology and Tageos antenna engineering delivers strong performance across a range of materials and form factors.
Engineering.com highlights that the partnership with EM Microelectronic allows Tageos to offer greater diversity in chip capability, including NFC Type 2, Type 4 and advanced dual frequency models that are already gaining traction in high value product categories. This positions the new inlays as a strong choice for manufacturers seeking premium quality, reliable read performance and flexible integration options.
Overall, this latest product launch reinforces Tageos commitment to producing smarter, more secure and more sustainable RFID inlays. With growing demand for transparency, product authenticity and meaningful consumer engagement, these new NFC and dual frequency solutions represent a timely enhancement for both brands and supply chain operators.
