Abstract This work introduces novel, non-cloneable chipless RFID tags designed for authentication, offering a solution to protect product brands, Bakeware such as wine, liquor, oil, and other liquid products, from copyright practices.A unique spectral response of the embedded tag, created by depositing various conductive layers, can be achieved by combining its shape and sheet resistance.To accomplish this, a laser-induced graphene (LIG) layer is formed on a cork substrate (used as a graphene precursor), followed by an electroplating process to enhance conductivity.This paper presents a prototype scanner, designed to characterize the electromagnetic signature of the VITAMIN B12 tags, compatible variable-sized wine bottles and cork stoppers.Preliminary results obtained with complex logo images demonstrate the feasibility of this technology.
