Benefits
At 58 x 6 mm and 0.25 g, the Ferrowave Micro fits directly on small metal retail products — cosmetic containers, equipment parts, high-value accessories — without altering form factor or adding visible bulk to the item.
Verified compatibility with Zebra ZT411 On Metal, Sato CL4NX, and Printronix Auto ID T6000e means operations can encode and print these labels using equipment already on the floor, with no dedicated RFID printer investment required.
IP68 certification at 1 m depth for 5 hours and tolerance for industrial washing with standard solvents means the tag keeps its digital identity intact through wet storage, cleaning lines, and humid retail back-of-house environments.
