Claim 12:
13. A system, comprising:
a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine a characteristic of a conductive trace;
a laser configured to alter the conductive trace by removing a portion of a conductive material of the conductive trace to have the characteristic to define an antenna for a tag; and
an attaching device configured to attach a communications enabled device to form an electrical connection between the communications enabled device and the antenna to form the tag;
wherein the removing the portion of the conductive material in an area of the conductive trace using the laser includes at least one of decreasing a thickness of the conductive trace, decreasing a width of the conductive trace, or decreasing a height of the conductive trace while leaving a remaining portion in the area of the conductive material.
