SMAG will offer full technical and operational training to new label converters who are new to the RFID labels conversion market.
The company will manufacture the label converter’s first order of RFID-enabled labels using Avery Dennison RFID inlays.
Avery Dennison RFID EMEA market development manager Jordi Baeta said: “This partnership helps lower the obstacles experienced by many converters who consider offering RFID label conversion solutions to their customers.
“In our RFID Innovation Center in the Netherlands, converters can experience first-hand how intelligent labels are improving efficiency in manufacturing and commerce across many industries, take part in live demonstrations, meet our RFID experts and get hands-on experience with the technology of tomorrow.
