For now, no one knows how deeply RFID will affect society and business. The markets are opening wider as giant retailers, like WalMart, implement the technology, other businesses will soon follow. Manufactures and distributors in the printing business need to be ready to fill the market’s demand but not at the expense of other business. As Mark Freeman, president of Inspec Tech, a label solutions provider based in Valley Head, Ala., explained, RFID tags will never replace bar-codes. Freeman sees the two systems coexisting because they meet different price points. “There’s no way that [RFID tags] are going to get down to one thousandths of a penny, and that’s what a bar code will cost you,” he said.
