Russian RFID solution developer ISBC cooperated with AIPIA member and global paper and packaging material supplier SAPPI to launch an innovative smart paper with embedded RFID chip. The chip is embedded in the paper and will not cause any impact on the surface of the paper, and the surface of the paper remains flat.

Smart RFID paper suppliers are looking for alternatives to plastics, and SAPPI's Swiss matte paper (mainly used as inkjet paper for large-format printing) is determined for its white surface, printing results, and scratch and water resistance. The two companies also stated that the product is as easy to print as ordinary paper and is a cost-effective printer solution.

According to reports, another advantage of the "sandwich product" is that it can use a variety of printing technologies and equipment for printing, which helps eliminate internal development work and avoid investment in new machines, software, and business processes. The required information can be simply transferred to the RFID chip on paper: For the coding process, ISBC has developed a dedicated coding machine and training materials.
ISBC founder and inventor Ivan Demidov said: "Our patented technology is unique in the market. It provides end users with a PVC-free, more sustainable and durable option."

Initial potential applications include contactless tickets for buses, trains, trams, and other means of transportation, as well as prepaid and gift cards, business cards and access control, including key cards for hotel rooms, or entry wristwatches for events and trade fairs. belt. But future packaging applications are also possible.
These paper sensors and tags can also be integrated into diplomas and other certificates to verify the authenticity of documents, so one possible approach is to open CPGs certification. Traditional postcards can also be enhanced by integrating an RFID tag with an interactive website, and the re-packing function has become more and more popular.
