Application of printed electronics has given birth to several terms such as smart cards, smart labels and smart packaging. Nowadays RFID antennas are either etched or printed. The good thing is RFID printing is less expensive as compared to etching. Some of the most common techniques for printing are Flexography, Flat and rotary screen and Gravure. Most of the printing is undertake on polyester. Antennas are printed roll to roll and further run through the machine which glues the chip to the antenna. Combination of traditional printed rolls and finished rolls is done for forming cards, flyers, labels and passports.

Printing should be undertaken directly on the product and its popularity is expected to increase in the future provided the costing comes down to at least close to one cent. Printing of antenna involves use of special conductive ink containing aluminum, copper or silver and in some cases the ink needs to be heated after printing. The market for printed labels is expected to get aggressive in the coming future as it will find usage in several sectors.
