RFID tag

1. A system for tracking, comprising:

a radio frequency identification (RFID) blank with indicia printed thereon;

an RFID antenna and a chip coupled on one side of the RFID blank;

a carrier web coupled to the RFID blank, wherein said carrier web and a side of the RFID blank are folded over, the RFID antenna and chip;

a laminated seal means disposed over the RFID blank, the RFID antenna and the chip and the carrier web after they are folded on top of each other for binding the folded portions together and sealing, the resulting tag from outside elements to form an RFID tag, said seal means being sufficiently transparent to allow said printed indicia to be read;

a container into which the RFID tag is visibly disposed, said container being sealed by a tamper-proof lid;

wherein the RFID tag stores information regarding contents of the container.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the printed indicia is human readable.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding contents of the container includes manufacturing location, batch and lot information and date information.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the separation of the RFID tag from a plurality of other RFID tags after the laminated seal means is disposed over the RFID blank, the RFID antenna and the chip and carrier web to form the RFID tag.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the printed indicia is printed on an outside portion of the RFID blank.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the printed indicia is machine readable indicia.

7. The system of claim 2 , wherein the printed indicia is a warning.

8. A method of supplying data for contents housed in a container, comprising:

printing indicia on an outside portion of a plurality of blanks;

placing radio frequency identification (RF 1 D) antennas and chips on an inside

portion Of the plurality of blanks;

placing the plurality of blanks on a carrier web;

folding the plurality of blanks onto themselves;

laminating the plurality of blanks to bind the folded portions together and to seal the resulting tag from outside elements;

separating individual blanks from the plurality of blanks to form individual

RF 1 D tags;

placing an RFID tag into a visible position, within a container;

sealing to container to prevent tampering with the RFID tag; and

reading data from the RFID tag placed in the container with an RFID reader.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

coupling the plurality of blanks to each other.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the blanks are coupled using the carrier web.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the laminating of the plurality of blanks seals them from outside elements.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the printing of indicia on the outside portion of the plurality of blanks is performed substantially simultaneously to the placing of the REID antennas and chips on the inside portion of the plurality of blanks.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the folding of the plurality of blanks onto themselves is performed one blank at a time.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the folding of the plurality of blanks onto themselves is performed to each of the blanks substantially simultaneously.

15. A system of preventing tampering with an RFID tag, comprising:

means for providing a radio frequency identification (RFID) substrate;

means for printing human-readable indicia on the RFID substrate;

means for disposing a RFID chip and antenna on the RFID substrate;

means for substantially simultaneously folding and laminating the RFID substrate to bind the folded portions of the substrate together and to form an RFID tag that is sealed against outside elements;

means for disposing the RFID tag in a container in a visible location; and

means for sealing the container.

16. The method of supplying data for contents housed in a container defined in claim 8 , wherein the folding and laminating steps are performed substantially simultaneously.
