Reboundtag

ReboundTAG is a company based in the United Kingdom providing permanent RFID microchip luggage tags for airlines and individual business flyers. ReboundTAG is known to have worked with IATA, Alien Technology and Sick AG in developing the microchip luggage tags and now supplies them globally.

Development of the RFID Tags

Due to weaknesses in the antenna and CPU of RFID chips there has been a demand for an encapsulated luggage tag for several years, but most of the resins experimented with interfered with the reading of the microchip. A permanent RFID luggage tag means that the microchip is protected and can also be used for automatic check-in of items of luggage, saving resources. The tags contain two microchips; one that is used for identification and one re-writable chip that can be used by the airport or airline to encode new flight details each time the person travels.
