1. A process for radio frequency identification (RFID) certification of carton content, the process comprising:
(a) preparing a carton with one or more RFID-tagged items, wherein the carton comprises a carton ID;
(b) placing the carton into an RFID read chamber and activating an RFID read process via a processing unit linked to the RFID read chamber;
(c) scanning the carton for a first information comprising electronic product codes (EPCs) of the one or more RFID-tagged items;
(d) communicating the first information from the RFID-tagged items to the RFID read chamber;
(e) initiating a lookup for the carton ID and retrieving from a database a second information, uploaded to the database prior to the scanning in (c), the second information comprising information regarding the RFID-tagged items that were to be packed in the carton;
(f) comparing the first information matches with the second information retrieved from the database;
(g) correcting any mismatch between the first information and the second information;
(h) printing a label with the EPC values or a count of the RFID-tagged items after the first information and the second information match;
(i) encoding an RFID inlay of the label with data, wherein the encoded data is one of a unique value identifying the label as an RFID Pack Certified label and a best fit to UCC 128 barcode data, and wherein the RFID inlay is included in the printed label; and
applying the label to the carton.
