Abstract

A radio frequency transponder is adhered to a substrate forming a label or business form. The substrate has thermally sensitive material whereby the substrate and transponder can be conveyed through a thermal printer for printing variable or non-variable information on the web. The transponder is provided in web form and separated from the web for application to the substrate. In a further embodiment, plural plies of business forms are provided and transponders separated from a web of transponders are disposed by the plies prior to separation of the plies into discrete forms, each carrying a transponder.
