RF Labels
Why Q-Factor
Matters for RF Labels
The quality factor, or Q-factor, describes how efficiently an RF label stores and releases energy — in simple terms, how clearly it responds to an RF gate.
A clearer signal.
A stronger detection.
A better result.

- Better Detection: Higher Q labels are more consistently picked up by exit gates.
- Fewer False Alarms: A clearer signal helps reduce missed detections and unnecessary alerts.
- Cleaner Deactivation: High Q labels often deactivate more reliably at checkout.
AM, RF and RFID label formats
Choosing the right RF label is not only about size or price. The right Q-factor helps RF security systems perform more reliably in real retail conditions — especially on high-risk or high-value merchandise.
