Checkpoint Leveche+ UHF RFID Tag: Innovation and Security for Reusable Food Packaging

The new Checkpoint Leveche+ UHF RFID Tag represents the definitive solution for the traceability and intelligent management of reusable food packaging. Specifically designed to overcome the challenges of the ecological transition and the circular economy, this innovative RFID inlay combines sustainability and high technology, ensuring total microwave oven safety and exceptional performance even in high-humidity conditions.

Why Choose the Leveche+ RFID Inlay? Key Advantages

Integrating RFID technology into the food packaging sector requires uncompromising safety and reliability standards. Leveche+ has been developed to offer tangible advantages to manufacturers, distributors, and end consumers:

• EECC-Certified Microwave Resistance: Subjected to rigorous laboratory testing, the tag is officially approved for microwave use. Its advanced structure is specifically designed to prevent arcing (sparking), ensuring maximum user safety and appliance integrity.
• Guaranteed Performance in Humid Environments: Thanks to the special H2O format, the inlay maintains excellent read capabilities even in the presence of condensation, heat, and damp or semi-damp food.
• Food Safety (Food Safe): The acrylic adhesive used is certified for indirect food contact, making the label suitable for application on containers intended to hold food.
• Optimised Traceability and Visibility: Ideal for improving inventory flow management, supply chain visibility, and deposit-return systems for reusable packaging. 

Technical Specifications and Product Features

Below are the technical details certifying the high technological profile of the Checkpoint Leveche+ transponder:

• RFID Technology: UHF (Ultra High Frequency) with global compatibility for FCC (902-928 MHz) and ETSI (865-868 MHz) standards.
• Chip / IC Model: Impinj M830 for superior read sensitivity.
• Construction Materials: Aluminium-based antenna, PET substrate, and white PET protective facesheet.
• Compatible Reading Systems: Optimised for frontal scanning via handheld RFID readers, RFID tunnels, and desktop readers. Use with fixed EAS-style antennas is not recommended.

Correct Usage Guide and Safety Conditions

To maximise the lifespan of the RFID tag and avoid performance alterations or safety risks, it is strongly recommended to strictly follow these application guidelines:

Important Note for the Consumer: The tag ensures safe microwave use up to a maximum of 15 minutes at a power of 950W, provided that the container is made of plastic (PP), paper/cardboard, or glass and always contains food in contact with it.

• Ideal Positioning: The tag must be applied to the outer side of the container, centred at the bottom, and aligned with the height where the food will be located.
• Suitable Contents: Optimised for fresh, damp, or semi-damp food. DO NOT use with empty containers, packaging containing only dry food, or containers filled exclusively with water.
• Packaging Materials: Use exclusively with non-metallic and microwave-safe materials (plastic, glass, paper).
