Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NFC tags, programming, and business applications
What are NFC tags and how do they work?
NFC (Near Field Communication) tags are small, programmable chips that can store small amounts of data. When a smartphone or NFC-enabled device comes within 4cm of the tag, it can read the stored information and perform actions like opening websites, connecting to WiFi, or launching apps. They're perfect for marketing campaigns, business cards, and automation.
Are NFC tags compatible with all smartphones?
Most modern smartphones support NFC. iPhones (7 and newer) can read NFC tags natively, while Android devices have had NFC support for years. The tags work without requiring any special apps - just tap and go! This makes them perfect for customer-facing applications where you can't control what device people use.
How do I program NFC tags for my business?
Programming NFC tags is simple! Use free apps like "NFC Tools" or "TagWriter" on your smartphone. You can program tags to open websites, share contact info, connect to WiFi, send emails, or even trigger smart home actions. Our bulk programming service can handle large orders with custom data for each tag.
What's the difference between NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216?
The main difference is storage capacity: NTAG213 (180 bytes) is perfect for URLs and basic data, NTAG215 (924 bytes) handles more complex data and is great for business applications, while NTAG216 (924 bytes) offers the most storage for advanced use cases. For most marketing applications, NTAG213 is sufficient and cost-effective.
Can NFC tags be rewritten multiple times?
Yes! NFC tags can be rewritten thousands of times, making them perfect for dynamic campaigns. You can update the content, change URLs, or completely reprogram them for different purposes. They can also be password protected to prevent unauthorized changes while still allowing read access.
What's your minimum order quantity?
We don't have a minimum order quantity! Whether you need 10 tags for a small campaign or 10,000 for a major rollout, we can help. Our flexible pricing scales with volume, and we offer bulk discounts for larger orders. Small businesses and enterprises are equally welcome.
How durable are NFC tags?
Our NFC tags are built to last! Standard tags work in temperatures from -25°C to +70°C and can handle normal wear and tear. We also offer weatherproof and industrial-grade options for harsh environments. The data retention is over 10 years, making them perfect for long-term installations.
Do you offer custom printing and shapes?
Absolutely! We offer full-color custom printing, your logo, QR codes, or any design you need. Available shapes include circles, rectangles, squares, and custom die-cuts. We can match your brand colors and create tags that seamlessly integrate with your marketing materials and products.
