An RFID parking permit developed by the 8389 Schreiner PrinTrust business unit has won the innovation category of the 2017 FINAT Label Competition at the European Label Forum in Berlin.

The annual FINAT Award recognises the best pressure-sensitive labels and related products. Some 300 print products were entered in this year’s competition.

The parking permit is attached to the vehicle windscreen and is scanned using handheld readers. It contains an identification number and enables parking inspectors to automatically match the vehicle license number, type of vehicle, the permit’s scope of application and expiration date. Vehicle identification is contactless across a distance of a few metres without line of sight.
