If you’ve recently received a mandate from a customer or partner requiring RFID tagging on product shipments, you’re not alone. Many major retailers are increasingly pushing their suppliers to adopt RFID labeling standards—often through the ARC program—to improve inventory accuracy and supply chain visibility. What is the ARC program? The ARC program, standardizes RFID tagging requirements across industries such as retail, aviation, and manufacturing. Failing to comply with ARC-certified tagging requirements can lead to costly chargebacks, rejected shipments, and a breakdown in supply chain trust—putting supplier relationships and business continuity at risk.

Using the right RFID tag is only part of the equation. Selecting the right RFID printer and software is just as critical. The printer not only applies data to the label—it encodes the RFID inlay with a digital identity.

You might ask, how do I select the right RFID printer? Here are five essential considerations to help you choose the right RFID printer for a successful RFID labeling protocol.

1. RFID Compatibility: UHF vs. HF

RFID tags typically fall into two categories: UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) and HF (High Frequency). Depending on the specifications or ARC certification requirements, your printer must support the correct standard.

• UHF: Offers longer read ranges (up to 10 feet), making it suitable for carton-level tagging, dock door scans, and high-speed conveyor systems.
• HF: Best for short-range reads (up to 3 feet), such as item-level tracking in retail or healthcare.

Pro Tip: Make sure the printer you select is compatible with the frequency range you need—and ideally, one that supports both HF and UHF if you serve multiple markets.

2. Flawless Encoding Capabilities

Encoding is not just about writing data to a tag—it’s about writing it accurately and reliably. Look for RFID printers that provide:

• On-screen menus for antenna position optimization
• The ability to store presets and settings, so you can print and encode multiple tag types from a single device

Pro Tip: Flawless encoding reduces the risk of errors that lead to unreadable tags or failed scans during transit or at receiving docks.

3. Speed and Label Precision

You may be required to print small-format RFID labels for individual items. The printer you select needs to be able to handle small label sizes with high accuracy—without slowing down your production line.

Pro Tip: Choose a model that balances speed with precision, ensuring it can keep up with your label volume while maintaining clarity in both print and encoded data.

4. Duty Cycle and Media Capacity

If you’re printing hundreds or thousands of RFID tags daily, a desktop model may not suffice. Industrial-grade printers with high-duty cycles are designed to handle continuous use and offer:

• Larger ribbon and label roll capacities
• Fewer supply changeovers
• Reduced downtime and greater efficiency

Pro Tip: A printer like the SATO CL4NX Plus RFID is specifically designed for heavy-duty environments with high-volume output.

5. Cloud-Based Printing & Data Management

Modern RFID printers should do more than print. Look for solutions that offer cloud-based software integration to:

• Allow multi-site printing from a centralized system
• Maintain a record of encoded EPCs
• Prevent duplication of serialized data
• Send real-time alerts for print errors or anomalies

Pro Tip: This centralized control is especially important for suppliers with distributed operations or those scaling RFID labeling across multiple facilities.
