A method of manufacturing a stamped antenna includes providing a sheet of metallic material for a first partial stamping that forms an antenna including at least one pilot hole, traces, contacts, carriers connected to the traces, and tie-bars between the traces. The antenna is placed on a fixture having at least one fixture pin that is inserted through the at least one lot hole. A pressure sensitive adhesive including at least one die cut hole is placed on the fixture, with the fixture pin being inserted through the die cut hole aligning the antenna and the pressure sensitive adhesive such that an adhesive region of the pressure sensitive adhesive is positioned on the traces of the antenna. The pressure sensitive adhesive is then bonded to the traces of the antenna. A second complete stamping is then performed on the antenna, including pressure sensitive adhesive, to remove the carriers and tie-bars.
