Method of making tags

Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention relates to a tag useable with an electronic article surveillance system and comprised of planar conductive material cut into a pair of inverse first, and second spiral conductors wrapped about each other and positioned for capacitive and inductive coupling. The invention also relates to method of making tags wherein conductors are cut from a planar web of conductive material in a continuous process in a manner that the cutting results in the formation of two spiral conductors without accompanying waste of conductive material and thereafter, positioning the conductors to provide resonant circuits.
