Frequently asked questions

Can an NFC NTAG213 wet inlay be read by a mobile phone?

Yes, the ID-N213 uses the NTAG213 NFC chip, so it can be read by NFC-enabled smartphones and by standard 13.56 MHz NFC readers when the device is held close to the tag. This makes it common for smart product labels, tap-to-open links and authentication stickers in India.

What is the read range of an NFC NTAG213 wet inlay?

The NTAG213 wet inlay reads at up to about 0.1 metres, which is normal for NFC operating at 13.56 MHz. The short range is deliberate: only the tag deliberately tapped or presented is read, which suits product labels, business cards and authentication applications.

What is a wet inlay and how is it applied?

A wet inlay is an NFC inlay supplied with adhesive backing on a thin, flexible substrate, so it can be stuck straight onto a product or converted into a printed label. The ID-N213 applies to flat and curved surfaces and uses RoHS-compliant materials for high-volume production.

Can NTAG213 inlays be pre-encoded and ordered in bulk in India?

Yes, NTAG213 NFC wet inlays can be supplied pre-encoded and custom printed, and India RFID Store offers bulk and OEM pricing as a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer. Sample quantities can be provided before a full production run, with pan-India shipping.
