Abstract
An RFID tag for and attachable to a flexible material product. The tag includes an RFID antenna that is not susceptible to disconnection, and is close to the flexible material. An RFID antenna for the RFID tag, and there is an RFID antenna continuous body for the RFID tag. The tag base 12 itself is made of a flexible material. An antenna is configured as a conductive thread 14. The RFID tag includes a tag base 12 attachable to a flexible material product. An RFID inlay 15 is capable of performing wireless data communication. The tag base 12 is configured of a flexible material. An RFID antenna 11A includes a base antenna portion 13 configured by integrating the conductive thread 14 into the tag base 12.
