Product family brings one of the industry's broadest selections of ultra-miniaturized HF tags and inlays to healthcare, luxury goods, electronics, and smart packaging markets.
SANTA ANA, Calif., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global leader in RFID- and BLE-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced the expansion of its ID-Tiny product family, a portfolio of ultra-miniaturized HF/NFC inlays and tags designed to bring secure digital intelligence to compact products, small components, and high-value items where space is extremely limited.
The expansion opens new possibilities for connecting physical objects that have historically been too small, too design-sensitive, or too irregularly shaped for conventional RFID and HF/NFC deployments. From jewelry and eyewear to surgical instruments, pharmaceutical vials, wireless earbuds, and personal care product caps, ID-Tiny enables brands and manufacturers to add secure digital functionality without changing how a product looks, feels, or functions.
"ID-Tiny is about making digital identity possible in places where it simply wasn't practical before," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, CSO of Identiv. "When you can bring secure, smartphone-readable HF/NFC functionality into form factors no larger than a grain of rice, you unlock entirely new use cases – from verifying a luxury ring's authenticity to tracking the use of a surgical instrument or connecting a patient to dosage instructions from a vial – without compromising performance. That is the power of miniaturization: it makes the smallest physical objects part of the digital world."
Unlocking new applications for compact products
Across use cases, ID-Tiny helps turn compact products into secure, verifiable touchpoints – enabling authenticity checks, usage tracking, tap-to-pair experiences, patient engagement, and lifecycle visibility in applications where conventional RFID has been difficult to deploy.
For luxury goods and fashion brands, ID-Tiny can enable discreet digital certificates of authenticity, Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance, extended warranty registration, insurance activation, ownership verification, and protection against counterfeiting and gray market diversion.
In healthcare, ID-Tiny can support surgical instrument tracking, sterilization cycle monitoring, medical consumable authentication, pharmaceutical vial tracking, and patient-facing digital instructions.
In consumer electronics and smart home applications, ID-Tiny can enable product pairing, accessory verification, replacement part authentication, and lifecycle service support.
