RFID Tagging Guidelines
Walmart requires vendors to use the ARC protocol to select inlays, determine placement, and test tags. Inlay selection is based on a given product’s department and subcategories. Tag placement is determined by a product’s specific construction, components, packaging and the readability of the RFID tag on the product. ARC test labs certify the compatibility of the tag to the product.
