Inlay is a term specific to the RFID industry, referring to a pre-laminated product made of multiple layers of PVC or other materials containing a chip and coil laminated together; through different forms of packaging, different types of RFID labels can be made.

Inlay can be understood as an unencapsulated semi-finished RFID label.

Inlay is divided into Dry Inlay and Wet Inlay.

Dry Inlay has no adhesive backing; its structure is antenna + chip + chip encapsulation;

Wet Inlay has adhesive backing and can be attached directly to items; its structure is antenna + chip + chip encapsulation + surface paper + liner
