A method of making a self-adhesive tag, the tag comprising:
- a first side and a second side;
- a first material disposed on the first side;
- a second material disposed on the second side;
- an intermediate supporting layer disposed between the first material and the second material;
- the intermediate layer having a first side disposed towards the first material and a second side disposed towards the second material;
- means for adhering the second material to the second side of the intermediate layer;
- an adhesive layer disposed on the second material, the adhesive layer being configured for bonding the tag to a product;
- release paper material disposed on the adhesive layer, the release paper material being configured for preventing adhesion of the adhesive layer to undesired surfaces;
- said method comprising the steps of:
- providing the first material, the first material comprising metal;
- providing the second material;
- providing the intermediate layer;
- configuring the intermediate layer to have a first side and a second side;
- providing the adhering means;
- providing the adhesive layer;
- providing the release paper material;
- said method further comprising the steps of:
- applying the second material to the second side of the intermediate layer with the adhering means;
- disposing portions of the first material in different amounts and at different times on the first side of the intermediate layer;
- said step of disposing comprising providing a layer of the first material on the first side of the intermediate layer, the layer of the first material having a thickness less than 1 micron;
- forming predetermined patterns in the first material and the second material;
- coating the second material with the adhesive layer;
- and
- disposing the release paper on the adhesive layer.

A method of making a self-adhesive tag, said method comprising the steps of:
- depositing portions of a first material on a first side of an intermediate layer, the first material comprising a metallized coating and the intermediate layer comprising a dielectric material;
- said step of depositing comprising providing a layer of the first material on the first side of the intermediate layer, the layer of the first material having a thickness less than 1 micron;
- fastening a second material to a second side of the intermediate layer, the second material comprising a metal layer, and the second side of the intermediate layer facing away from the first side of the intermediate layer;
- forming predetermined patterns in the first material and the second material;
- coating the second material with an adhesive layer;
- and
- disposing release paper on the adhesive layer.
