Product Carrier Strip

Abstract

A product carrier strip ( 1 ) comprising a transponder circuit ( 2, 3 ). When the product carrier strip is used, it is possible to trace back medicaments from a patient to a manufacturer, for example, for each individual product strip which is usually sold in an external packaging, together with several other product carrier strips. Product carrier strips with metallic extruded films ( 7 ) comprise a recess ( 8 ) whose edge is used as an antenna. a non-metallic extruded film is provided according to one varient of the invention.
