In the latest reported development, print trial results on Parelec Inc's Parmod nanoparticle silver ink have demonstrated the feasibility of directly printing microelectronic RFID antennae directly onto corrugated boxboard cases. Antennae with line widths of 75 micrometer were achievable with acceptable levels of conductivity suitable for operation in a commercial environment.
The print trials were performed at Clemson University's PrintCon facility using their corrugated flexo printer. Special flexo printing plates were supplied by the Precision Rubber Plate Co. enabling legible printing down to 2 point type even on rough corrugated board or Tyvek ...
