Product families (EOS naming scheme, EOS-[number] [chip], e.g. EOS-450 U9): - Tageos EOS product names use a three-digit code to group designs by product family and antenna length. - This structure applies across the EOS-1xx to EOS-5xx families, with EOS-6xx identifying special-frequency designs, EOS-8xx sensor designs, and EOS-9xx HF/NFC designs. - The middle digit indicates the antenna-length category in 10 mm increments: 0 means less than 10 mm, 1 means 10 mm to less than 20 mm, 2 means 20 mm to less than 30 mm, and so on, up to 9 for antenna lengths of 90 mm or more. - For example, EOS-93x identifies an HF/NFC design with an antenna length of at least 30 mm but less than 40 mm. - EOS Zero (Base, Plus, Max, Lite): the sustainable, paper-based product line with a plastic-free antenna substrate. - EOS Lite and EOS Zero Lite: launched in 2026 on the Pragmatic FlexIC PR1301, described by Tageos as the world's first FlexIC-based RFID product lines. Multi-vendor chip strategy: Tageos builds inlays on chips from industry leaders Impinj, NXP, EM Microelectronic, STMicroelectronics, Asygn, Pragmatic and Wiliot. ## Sustainability - [EOS Zero Lite](https://www.tageos.com/en/products-services/eos-zero-lite.html): Paper-based, low-carbon footprint, sustainable RFID inlay line on FlexIC technology. Sustainability positioning: the EOS Zero family replaces the conventional PET carrier with a 100% paper-based, FSC-certified antenna substrate. The antennas are plastic-free, free of heavy metals and conflict minerals, and recyclable in the standard paper stream. Tageos states up to 70% less material and up to a 90% lower carbon footprint compared with traditional inlays, and a net-zero target by 2050. ## Segments and applications - [Segments & Applications](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications.html): RFID inlays for a broad variety of retail and non-retail industries, supplied to service bureaus, converters and system integrators. - [Retail](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for a broad variety of retail categories and items. - [Apparel and Fashion](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail/apparel-and-fashion.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for apparel, fashion, footwear, jewelry and accessories. - [Beauty and Personal Care](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail/beauty-and-personal-care.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for beauty and personal care items. - [Food & Beverage & QSR](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail/food-beverage-qsr.html): RAIN RFID (UHF), BLE and NFC inlays for food, groceries and beverages. - [General Merchandise](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail/general-merchandise.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for general merchandise items. - [Customer Experience](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/retail/customer-experience.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for retail customer experience use cases. - [Non-Retail](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and HF/NFC inlays for a broad variety of non-retail industries and items. - [Automotive](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/automotive.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and HF/NFC inlays and tags for automotive parts and components. - [Aviation](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/aviation.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) inlays for passenger baggage, aircraft parts and components. - [Healthcare and Pharma](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/healthcare-and-pharma.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC inlays for unit dose medication, medical supplies, packaging and devices. - [Industrial Manufacturing](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/industrial-manufacturing.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and HF/NFC inlays for industrial parts, components and transport containers. - [Library and Media Management](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/library-and-media-management.html): HF and RAIN RFID (UHF) inlays for books, CD/DVDs, games, documents, certificates and other media. - [Logistics and Transportation](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/logistics-and-transportation.html): RAIN RFID (UHF) and BLE inlays for cartons, pallets, containers and returnable transport items. - [Customer Experience (NFC)](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/non-retail/customer-experience-nfc.html): NFC inlays for products and product packaging. - [Service Bureaus](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/customers-market-partners/service-bureaus.html): What Tageos supplies to service bureaus. - [Converters](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/customers-market-partners/converters.html): What Tageos supplies to label and packaging converters. - [System Integrators](https://www.tageos.com/en/segments-applications/customers-market-partners/system-integrators.html): What Tageos supplies to system integrators.
