iTag has partnered with Taiwanese company Printronix to provide RFID tags to be sewn onto garments made in Asia by brands sold in Brazil.
Jul 17, 2018—
Brazil’s iTag RFID Smart Labels has announced a partnership with Taiwan’s Printronix to provide radio frequency identification tags that will be sewn onto Asian-made apparel by brands sold in Brazil. The deal will allow garments to be tracked from the point of manufacture in countries like China and Vietnam.
The entire process of goods passing through Asian ports, until their arrival in Brazil, can now be traced. In addition, the counting of items at their time of arrival can be optimized, with costs reduced due to the use of RFID technology to control manufacturing.
With this foreign marketing strategy, iTag aims to boost the distribution and printing of smart tags throughout Asia. To that end, its efforts will be supported by Printronix, a global industrial printing company, through Maxhill Co. Through the partnership, an RFID printing bureau will be created in Taiwan. iTag and Maxmill will be responsible for the printing and serialization of RFID tags for products manufactured in other countries by businesses that use iTag’s RFID solution in Brazil.
