## Abstract

There are disclosed methods of making RFID transponder webs and intermediate webs such as RFID strap webs and antenna webs, as well as such webs per se.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A composite RFID strap web, comprising:
a wide web of RFID straps in longitudinally extending columns along the wide web and in transversely extending rows across the wide web, and
a composite adhesive web comprising a flexible carrier web,
a release coating on the first side of the flexible carrier web, a thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive releasably adhered to the release coating on the first side, the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive being adhered to all the straps on the wide strap web, and the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive containing electrically conductive particles; and
wherein the release coating on the first side is between the flexible carrier web and the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 1 wherein the adhesive is an anisotropic adhesive.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 1 wherein the adhesive is a patterned adhesive.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 1 wherein the adhesive covers the entire strap web.

### Claim 5

A composite RFID strap web, comprising:
a web of RFID straps having a single longitudinally column of straps, and an adhesive web comprising a flexible carrier web,
a release coating on the first side of the flexible carrier web, and
a thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive releasably adhered to the release coating on the first side, the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive being adhered to all the straps on the strap web, and the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive containing electrically conductive particles; and
wherein the release coating on the first side is between the flexible carrier web and the thermoplastic, electrically conductive adhesive.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 5 wherein the adhesive is an anisotropic adhesive.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 5 wherein the adhesive is a patterned adhesive.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The composite RFID strap web of claim 5 wherein the adhesive covers the entire strap web.
