Established in 2009.
Shenzhen ASCEND Print & Packaging was originally established as a professional label manufacturing company in 2009, focusing on the design, production, and customization of high-quality labels. Over the years, the company has grown from a traditional label factory into a comprehensive IoT and RFID solution provider, but its foundation remains rooted in deep expertise in label production.
Strong Origins in Label Manufacturing, from its earliest stage, ASCENDIoT specialized in custom label solutions, offering a wide range of options tailored to diverse industries. Printing customization including: flexographic printing, offset printing, digital printing, screen printing, thermal transfer printing, hot stamping and foil printing, variable data and barcode printing and so on. Material customization including: paper labels (matte, glossy, coated, thermal paper), synthetic film labels (PET, PP, PE, PVC), metallic labels (aluminum foil, silver PET, brushed metal effect), specialty labels (void, tamper-evident, security holograms), durable industrial labels (high-temperature resistant, chemical-resistant).
Accumulated Expertise and Customer Trust, through years of experience in label design, printing, and materials engineering, ASCENDIoT has built a strong reputation for reliability, quality, and innovation. This journey has allowed the company to serve a wide range of customers-from retail and logistics to industrial and healthcare sectors-gaining extensive know-how in both mass production and highly specialized, customized label projects.

Expanded into IoT and RFID in 2011.
With the rapid globalization of retail, logistics, and supply chain industries, the company recognized a strong international need for advanced identification technologies. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has become a mainstream technology worldwide, adopted by leading enterprises to improve efficiency, traceability, and security. The application of the RFID technology in these compaines like Walmart, Decathlon, Zara / Inditex Group, Amazon, Metro Group and more, highlight how RFID technology has become essential for international business operations.
As a company rooted in label manufacturing, ASCENDIoT identified a unique opportunity. Traditional paper labels and RFID smart labels share significant production commonalities in printing, materials, and converting processes. Leveraging its years of expertise in high-quality printing (flexographic, offset, digital, screen, thermal transfer, hot stamping), material engineering (paper, films, synthetics, durable industrial substrates). ASCENDIoT was well-positioned to bridge the gap between conventional labeling and intelligent RFID labeling.
ASCENDIoT has successfully expanded into smart labels, RFID technology, and IoT applications. The company combines its expertise in traditional label craftsmanship with cutting-edge electronics integration, providing customers with solutions that are not only durable and functional, but also intelligent and connected.

Transformed into a full-scale manufacturer and developer of advanced RFID tags during 2013-2020.
Shenzhen ASCENDIoT has closely followed the evolution of RFID technology as it expands across industries worldwide. While RFID labels (commonly made on paper or PET substrates) have enabled mass adoption in retail, logistics, and supply chains, they also come with inherent limitations like: not waterproof, not resistant to high temperatures, can not work on metal, limited durability, unreliable in outdoor or industrial settings, unsuitable for long-term or repeated use, weak mechanical strength. These weaknesses mean that conventional RFID labels cannot meet the demands of all industries.
To extend RFID applications into more complex environments, it became essential to develop tags using alternative materials-enabling RFID technology to function reliably in demanding conditions. This realization led ASCENDIoT to expand beyond traditional paper labels and create a portfolio of specialized RFID products.
Examples of Specialized RFID Tags:
RFID Laundry Tags – waterproof, heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, and able to withstand 200+ industrial washing cycles, widely used for hotel linen and uniform management.
Silicone RFID Wristbands – soft, skin-friendly, and waterproof, commonly used in water parks, swimming pools, and fitness centers.
PVC RFID Cards – durable and versatile, serving as access control, employee ID, and membership cards.
Disposable PET Wristbands – lightweight, cost-effective, and tamper-proof, widely adopted for music festivals, events, and hospital patient ID.
Anti-Metal RFID Tags with Epoxy Coating – designed to work on metallic surfaces, ideal for asset tracking and industrial equipment management.
Special material based RFID Tags – high durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, used in tool tracking, medical equipment, and high-temperature processes.
ABS or Nylon RFID Zip Tie Tags – rugged, shock-resistant, and long-lasting, often used in logistics crates, warehouse management, and outdoor environments.
Glass Tube RFID Tags – small and biocompatible, widely used in animal identification and medical applications.
And more.
