Method of reeling a series of RFID tags and RFID tag roll

Abstract

A series of RFID tags is reeled around a reel core formed by a core material and a stress absorbing material lapped around the core material to absorb a stress produced in reeling the series of RFID tags. In the series of RFID tags, a number of RFID tags each having an antenna and a circuit chip connected to the antenna and performing radio communication with the antenna are formed in a predetermined pitch on a long-belt-like and flexible base.

Claims

1. A method of reeling a series of RFID tags where a number of RFID tags each having an antenna and a circuit chip connected to the antenna and performing radio communication with the antenna are formed in a predetermined pitch on a long-belt-like and flexible base, the method comprising: reeling the series of RFID tags around a reel core formed by a core material and a stress absorbing material lapped around the core material, the stress absorbing material absorbing a stress produced in reeling the series of RFID tags.

2. The method of reeling according to claim 1, wherein the stress absorbing material contracts and deforms responding to the stress produced in reeling the series of RFID tags.

3. An RFID tag roll comprising: a series of RFID tags where a number of RFID tags each having an antenna and a circuit chip connected to the antenna and performing radio communication with the antenna are formed in a predetermined pitch on a long-belt-like and flexible base; anda reel core that the series of RFID tags is reeled around and that is formed by a core material and a stress absorbing material lapped around the core material, the stress absorbing material absorbing a stress produced in reeling the series of RFID tags.
