ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for the dispensing of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. In a first aspect of the present invention, a stack of tags is described. In one aspect, the tags are arranged in the stack so that alternate parallel ends of the tags in the stack are removably attached to next tags in the stack by an adhesive material. In an alternative aspect, the tags are arranged in the stack so that the same ends of the tags are removably attached to next tags in the stack by the adhesive material. In a further aspect of the present invention, a dispenser for dispensing tags is described. The dispenser includes a container defining a volume. The container has an outer surface having a slot shaped opening therethrough that opens into the volume. A stack of tags are present in the container. The tags are removably attached to adjacent tags in the stack in an alternating fan-folded configuration. An end of a first tag in the stack extends through the slot shaped opening out of the container. The first tag can be removed from the container by pulling the end to detach the first tag from the stack and cause an end of a next tag in the stack to extend through the slot shaped opening out of the container.
