Checkpoint Releases RFID Label for Metallic Drug Packaging

RFID technology company Checkpoint Systems, a division of CCL Industries, launches a UHF RFID tag known as the Spiro Plus M750 label, which it released commercially in September 2021.

The Spiro Plus M750 is designed to address challenges involving RFID use around common drug packaging. Checkpoint designed the inlay with a customized antenna so it would work well in crowded environments, no matter what packaging materials or liquids were present. During testing, and with early adopters, he says, it has offered reliable read performance across a variety of containers, contents and applications.

In parallel with the new product offering, Checkpoint has joined the DoseID Consortium, an organization focused on ensuring the interoperability, quality and performance of RFID products as they manage medications and equipment. The consortium has certified the Spiro Plus for use by hospital pharmacies, drug manufacturers and other supply chain members.
