Identiv Expands ID-Tiny HF Tag Portfolio

Identiv announced the expansion of its ID-Tiny product family, a portfolio of ultra-miniaturized HF/NFC inlays and tags designed to bring secure digital intelligence to compact products, small components, and high-value items where space is extremely limited.

The expansion opens new possibilities for connecting physical objects that have historically been too small, too design-sensitive, or too irregularly shaped for conventional RFID and HF/NFC deployments. 

ID-Tiny enables brands and manufacturers to add secure digital functionality without changing how a product looks, feels, or functions.

“ID-Tiny is about making digital identity possible in places where it simply wasn’t practical before,” said Dr. Manfred Mueller, CSO of Identiv. “When you can bring secure, smartphone-readable HF/NFC functionality into form factors no larger than a grain of rice, you unlock entirely new use cases – from verifying a luxury ring’s authenticity to tracking the use of a surgical instrument or connecting a patient to dosage instructions from a vial – without compromising performance. That is the power of miniaturization: it makes the smallest physical objects part of the digital world.”

The expanded ID-Tiny portfolio includes eight distinct tags across multiple form factors – one of the industry’s broadest selections of miniature HF tags – giving customers flexibility to integrate HF functionality into a wide range of compact products, surfaces, and materials. 

The family supports ISO15693 and is compatible with leading IC technologies including NXP ICODE 3 and STMicroelectronics ST25TV, with label sizes smaller than a pencil eraser.

ID-Tiny can help organizations reduce counterfeit losses, lower warranty and fraud costs, improve operational efficiency, accelerate authentication processes, improve recall management, and ultimately strengthen consumer trust.
