In general, products in hard packaging use Regular tags; however always follow best practices:
- If the tag has potential to be microwaved, use a Microwave Safe tag
- If the tag will be placed directly on metal, use a Metal Safe tag
- If the tag will be placed on a non-metal drink, use a Drink tag
For clamshell packaged products, such as salads, there are two places you can place the tag:
Option 1: Side of container (recommended)
  |
| Place the RFID tag on the side of the packaging. When possible, merchandise the packaging with tag facing the store antennae. |
  |
| Another example of the standard size RFID tag placed on the side of a salad container. This is a nondescript location, doesn't interfere with the package's labeling, and ensures strong readability with the store's antennae. |
Option 2: Wrapped from top to side
 |
| The standard tag can also be wrapped around the front and side of a container (pictured above). This tends to interfere with the merchandising of the product, as it blocks a customer from seeing the beautiful presentation of salad in the container. From a readability perspective, though, this tag is well placed. |
