An assemblage for preparing and validating a smart label including an RFID inlay and selected symbology includes a workstation with a symbology printer and an RFID printer, and a validation station. The validation station includes a digital control device for storing software and housing digital hardware, a symbology reader, an RFID transceiver for reading data encoded on an RFID tag, an encoding and validation chamber, and a computer. The workstation is configured to occupy a minimal area for optimizing the preparation and validation of an associated RFID tag and symbology, and the associated RFID tag and symbology can be contemporaneously printed, encoded with data specific to an item to which the RFID tag and symbology are to be affixed, and validated individually and with respect to one another.
A method for preparing an RFID label including an RFID inlay mounted on a substrate and having an RFID microchip coupled with an antenna, the method comprising the following steps:
