Abstract
Abstract A carrier (10) for an electronic identification device which permits the electronic device to be attached to an object to be identified. The electronic device is integrally moulded into the carrier (10). The electronic device is associated with a housing (14) which is moulded into the carrier. The housing (14) can be annular and coaxially located with an opening (12) in a panel (11) whereupon the housing (14) is encapsulated within encasing material (15) during actual moulding of carrier (10). Carrier (10) is preferably a female component of a two piece animal ear tag.
