Labels can be purchased at stationery and office supply stores, or designed and produced by advertising companies.
Existence forms of tags:
(1) Tags can be divided into:
1. Physical tags

The tag transfers the organization rights of content from website administrators to users, fully embodying the bottom-up and user participation characteristics of web2.0.
If you have visited Flickr (pictures), Technorati (blog), and other web2.0 websites, you will find that the website uses tags to display content, and users use tags to describe content and search. Related content.
The "open classification" used is also a form of tags.
Sina Weibo uses tags.
3. Electronic tags
Electronic tags are also called radio frequency tags, transponders, and data carriers; readers are also called reading devices, scanners, reading heads, communicators, and readers. writer (depending on whether the electronic tag can wirelessly rewrite data). The spatial (contactless) coupling of radio frequency signals is achieved through coupling elements between the electronic tag and the reader; in the coupling channel, energy transfer and data exchange are realized according to the timing relationship.
Electronic labels are a tool to improve identification efficiency and accuracy. This technology will completely replace barcodes. RFID radio frequency identification is a non-contact automatic identification technology. It automatically identifies target objects and obtains relevant data through radio frequency signals. The identification work does not require manual intervention and can work in various harsh environments. RFID technology can identify high-speed moving objects and identify multiple tags at the same time, making the operation quick and convenient. RFID electronic tags are a breakthrough technology: "First, they can identify a single, very specific object, rather than just one type of object like a barcode; second, they use radio frequency and can be read through external materials. To obtain data, barcodes must rely on lasers to read information; thirdly, multiple objects can be read at the same time, while barcodes can only be read one by one. In addition, the amount of information stored is also very large. ”
According to whether it has glue or not
