Voltis™ M830 Receives Auburn ARC Green Light, Uniting Small Footprint with High Read Rates

• Compact & ready for retail: at just 42 × 16 mm, Voltis™ M830 provides a class-leading, signal-to-size ratio that enables high read rates on thin packaging, multi-packs, and accessory SKUs without consuming precious product real estate or compromising branding. Based on the Impinj M830 platform, the inlay is specifically tuned for mixed orientations and high-density General Merchandise assortments, so retailers can achieve fast cycle counts with handhelds, tunnels, and overhead readers—right out of the box.
  
  
• Ready for retail at scale: Auburn ARC certification across O, Y2, R, Q, F, W5, W6, L and assures compliance to widely adopted retailer requirements, minimizing exceptions and re-tests during onboarding. Backed by Checkpoint's global manufacturing and QA, Voltis™ M830 departs factories with consistent chip attachment, inlay quality, and tested encoding (e.g., SGTIN/EPC), enabling high-volume source tagging and consistent reads factory to DC to sales floor.

THOROFARE, N.J., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkpoint Systems, a global leader in RFID-enabled solutions for retail, announced that its Voltis™ M830 RFID label has been approved by the Auburn University RFID Lab (ARC) and is now ARC-certified to specs O, Y2, R, Q, F, W5, W6, and L. The certification gives retailers and brand partners a high-performance, small-form-factor label that streamlines vendor onboarding and accelerates item-level visibility across general merchandise programs.

"ARC approval on multiple specs is a significant seal of approval of Voltis M830's performance in an incredibly compact footprint," noted Frank Panebianco; Vice President, ICS Sales, Checkpoint Systems. "Suppliers and retailers can have the confidence that the label meets widely accepted requirements and offers consistent reads from the distribution center through to the sales floor."
