Checkpoint Systems announced at NRF’s Annual Convention & EXPO its Micro RFID label for health/beauty/cosmetics categories such as hair care, over-the-counter medication and mid-size cosmetics.
Because of small sizes, SKU complexity and densely packed merchandising displays, these categories have specific inventory management challenges. The Micro and its previously released companion labels – the Whisper and Slim – cover the full gamut of products that fall within this merchandise category, allowing retailers to tag more merchandise than ever before to maximize their inventory visibility.
The Micro features a tiny inlay size of 25mm x 10mm and is integrated with the Impinj Monza RAIN RFID R6 chip for optimal performance with Checkpoint’s RAIN RFID solutions and other Merchandise Visibility solutions. Micro tags can be applied over the packaging of numerous health/beauty/cosmetics products or directly on the products themselves.
The Micro is ISO18000-6C compliant and can be encoded and printed to carry EPC data in several formats, with a 2D printed bar code and human readable text. Micro RFID labels are available immediately.
“Our ongoing partnership is exciting as Checkpoint continues to launch new solutions, including the Micro,” said Craig Cotton, VP of marketing and product management at Impinj. “The Monza R6 Chip includes Integra technology that enables RAIN RFID labels to deliver higher reliability and accuracy, which is crucial for labels like the Micro in resolving challenging retail deployments.”
“We have been working with major health and beauty retailers to provide expanded coverage for their health/beauty/cosmetics categories,” said Uwe Sydon, SVP and chief innovation officer, Checkpoint Systems. “These new RAIN RFID tags accomplish that and will help them better achieve their goals of auto replenishment and inventory management.”
