Benefits
At 0.785 mm thick and 0.2 g, the Ferrowave Micro Thin applies flush to surfaces on compact retail items — cosmetic tubes, small containers, personal care packaging — without adding visible height or affecting product presentation.
Unlike flat-only on-metal labels, the Ferrowave Micro Thin is engineered to wrap and adhere along curved asset surfaces, extending usable applications to cylindrical containers, bottles, and equipment components without a separate tag format.
Verified IP68 submersion at 1 m for 5 hours and tolerance for industrial washing with standard solvents means the tag and its encoded identity remain intact through cleaning processes, wet storage, and humid retail back-of-house conditions.
