A folded coil label and associated methods of making a folded coil label are provided. On example folded core label may include a core, a coil, and a capacitor. The coil may be wrapped around the core and connected to the capacitor to form a resonant circuit. The coil may be formed of angled traces wrapped around the core to form turns of the coil, and each angled trace may be electrically and physically connected in series to an adjacent angled trace to form a helical structure of the coil.
