UCODE X UHF Blank Label
The NXP UCODE X is NXP's highest-performance RAIN RFID tag chip, setting a new benchmark in read/write sensitivity, encoding speed, and ultra-low power consumption. Fully compliant with GS1 EPC Gen2v2.1 and ISO 18000-6C standards, UCODE X delivers exceptional performance on small and challenging items, making it the ideal choice for next-generation item-level tagging across retail, logistics, healthcare, and industrial applications.
Our UCODE X white labels are manufactured with a PET substrate and aluminum-etched antenna, finished with a white surface printable face stock and permanent adhesive backing on release liner. Available in multiple antenna and label form factors, they are suitable for high-speed roll-to-roll conversion and direct thermal / thermal transfer printing.

Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) RFID tags operate in the 860 MHz -- 960 MHz band, offering extended read range, fast data transmission, and bulk reading capability via anti-collision algorithms. The UCODE X chip takes this further with industry-leading --26.2 dBm read sensitivity and 32-bit write in just 1.9 ms, enabling faster inventory counts, higher accuracy on dense items, and reliable reading even with compact antenna designs.
With configurable EPC memory (96 -- 208 bits) and optional user memory (0 -- 32 bits), UCODE X provides the flexibility to balance EPC length, regulatory compliance (e.g. FDA FSMA 204), and on-tag data storage according to your deployment needs. Built-in Gen2v2 Untraceable privacy commands ensure consumer privacy protection in retail and public-facing environments.
