RFID TAGS - MATERIAL SPECS
GCN's washable RFID tags use the Impinj M830 chip — a reputable, industry-standard UHF RFID chip. Each tag carries a factory-set, permanent chip identifier (TID) alongside its assigned product identity (EPC), enabling GCN's tag verification approach: checking both together to detect a copied or swapped tag.
Two installation methods are available:
Sewing — mechanically stitched into the garment, our established method for long-term industrial wear
Heat Press — heat-activated bonding, suited to production lines already using heat-press equipment
Wash-cycle durability figures reflect current manufacturer specifications. GCN is independently testing tags from multiple suppliers, with our own verified results to follow.
RFID readers bulk read hundreds/thousands of threads at once at high-speed without the need for line-of-sight scanning.

OPTION 2. HEAT SEAL
Batch data added to Heat press (heat seal) RFID tags eg remanufactured furniture made from textile products — heat-activated bonding, faster to apply on production lines that already use heat-press equipment (e.g. for care labels)
e-waste compliance
The metallic thread is able to be removed manually or magnetized. Testing will be done to recover the threads after garments are commercially composted or re-processed through enzymes.
This enables us to retrieve and return threads to the system where they are able to be reset and reused through the Secondary Market.
