How to print RFID labels with BarTender - step by step

  1. Choose the edition and licence - Professional for standalone RFID printing; Automation or Enterprise when labels are triggered from your ERP / WMS.
  2. Install Drivers by Seagull for your RFID printer and calibrate the printer for your RFID label media (inlay position).
  3. Design the template in BarTender Designer - text, barcode and an RFID object on the same label.
  4. Set the RFID data type - e.g. SGTIN-96 - and map the company prefix, item reference and serial number fields (see EPC encoding).
  5. Connect the data source - Excel, CSV, SQL database or ERP - so each label gets a unique serial.
  6. Print a test batch and read every label with a handheld to confirm the EPC matches the printed barcode.
  7. Go live and, with Automation / Enterprise, trigger printing from your business system with full logging.

Who uses BarTender for RFID

BarTender FAQ

Which BarTender edition do I need for RFID?

RFID label design and encoding is included in BarTender Professional, Automation and Enterprise. The Starter edition is for barcode labels only. For RFID with ERP or WMS integration, Automation or Enterprise is usually the right choice.

Which RFID standards does BarTender support?

Seagull states that BarTender supports GS1 EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS) 2.0, EPCglobal Gen2 and EPCIS, and data formats including SGTIN, SSCC, SGLN, GRAI, GIAI, GDTI, GID, GSRN and DoD.

Do I need special printer drivers to encode RFID?

Yes. To encode RFID in BarTender you must use Drivers by Seagull, which include drivers for RFID-capable printers. Mindware installs and configures them with your RFID printer.

How is BarTender licensed and what does it cost in India?

BarTender is sold as annual agreements (1, 3 or 5 years), mostly licensed by the number of printers; Starter and Professional are also available as a Workstation licence. Contact Mindware for current INR pricing, GST invoice and multi-year quotes.

Can Mindware design our RFID label templates?

Yes. Mindware designs label templates with barcode, text and RFID (for example SGTIN-96 from your GS1 GTINs), connects them to Excel or your database, sets up printers and trains your team.
