1. RFID tag manufacturing. Definitions
As the subject of RFID can be understood by very different reader profiles, it seems appropriate to start with a glossary which will have the advantage of laying the foundations or prerequisites for this article.
An RFID tag is in fact a conventional (i.e. human-readable) label to which "RFID" functionality has been added. Most often, an RFID "inlay" is associated with a "classic" tag.

1.1 Support
RFID label substrates are often flexible. In all cases, they must be insulating. Paper, teslin,...
