The present invention is directed towards manufacturing a plurality of individual radio frequency devices from a web. The method comprises: transporting the web over a processing area; applying adhesive to the web as it is transported over the processing area; repeatedly applying sets of an antenna and a microchip to the web at spatially separated positions, as the web is transported over the processing area; longitudinally folding the web in half, thereby layering the sets of an antenna and a microchip between the two halves of the web and at least partly holding the sets of an antenna and a microchip in place by the adhesive, as the web is transported over the processing area; and cutting the folded web into individual radio frequency devices, as the web is transported over the processing area.
