Patent ID: 8248246

Claim:
An RFID-tag fabricating apparatus for fabricating an RFID tag provided with an IC circuit portion operable to store desired information, said RFID-tag fabricating apparatus comprising: a substrate-accommodating device for accommodating a first substrate in the form of a tape having a printable surface, and a second substrate in the form of a tape to be bonded to said first substrate; a printing device operable to form a predetermined printed indicium on said printable surface of the first substrate; a tag-tape forming device operable to form a tag tape, by bonding together said first and second substrates such that a plurality of IC circuit portions are interposed between the first and second substrates; a tag-tape cutting device operable to cut said tag tape formed by said tag-tape forming device; and a tag-tape cutting control portion operable to change a length of a segment of said tag tape to be obtained as the RFID tag by cutting of the tag tape by said tag-tape cutting device, on the basis of a length of said printed indicium formed on said first substrate, and such that said segment includes at least one of said plurality of IC circuit portions.
