Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for labeling a piece of merchandise with a wireless communication device. In addition to a wireless communication device, the merchandise tag includes an associated label made of a washable fabric material. The wireless communication device is incorporated into the label and includes an RFID chip and a slot-loop hybrid antenna, with the antenna including a conductor sheet that defines a slot. The label is secured to a piece of merchandise at a sew line, with the sew line dividing the label into an upper portion and a lower portion. The RFID chip and the slot of the antenna, along with a relatively high conductance piece or portion of the conductor sheet, are positioned within the upper portion of the label, while a relatively low conductance piece or portion of the conductor sheet is positioned within the lower portion of the label.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for labeling a piece of merchandise, comprising:\n providing a piece of merchandise; providing a merchandise tag including a label formed of a fabric material and a wireless communication device incorporated into the label, the wireless communication device including an RFID chip and a slot-loop hybrid antenna electrically coupled to the RFID chip and including a conductor sheet defining a slot; and securing the merchandise tag to the piece of merchandise at a sew line, which divides the label into an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the merchandise tag is secured to the piece of merchandise such that\n the RFID chip and the slot of the antenna are positioned within the upper portion of the label, and \n at least a portion of the conductor sheet positioned within the lower portion of the label has a lesser conductance than at least a portion of the conductor sheet positioned within the upper portion of the label in which said portion of the conductor sheet having a lesser conductance is formed of a conductive fabric.
