Method and Apparatus Pertaining to a Placement of a Radio-Frequency Identification Tag

An apparatus comprising:

• a package having an external peripheral edge where first and second non-coplanar sides of the package meet one another, wherein at least the first non-coplanar side comprises electrically-conductive material;
• a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag secured to the first non-coplanar side of the package at the external peripheral edge such that a first portion of the RFID tag's antenna proximally overlies an electrically-conductive portion of the first non-coplanar side of the package and a second portion of the RFID tag's antenna does not overlie any electrically-conductive portion of the package.

A method comprising:

• providing an electrically-conductive object having an external peripheral edge where first and second non-coplanar sides of the object meet one another, wherein at least the first non-coplanar side comprises electrically-conductive material;
• securing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag to the first non-coplanar side of the object at the external peripheral edge such that a first portion of the RFID tag's antenna proximally overlies an electrically-conductive portion of the first non-coplanar side of the object and a second portion of the RFID tag's antenna does not proximally overlie any electrically-conductive portion of the object.
