Buying guide

Three card types

PVC business card

The ID-NBC3 NFC business card is a CR80 PVC card (85.6 × 54 mm, the size of a bank card) with an NTAG213 or NTAG216 chip, a full-colour printed front, an optional QR code on the back for phones without NFC, and a gloss, matte or soft-touch lamination. Matte black PVC and metal versions are made on request. ₹15 + GST.

Stainless steel card

The NFC metal business card is a credit-card-size stainless steel card with an NTAG213 (144 bytes) or NTAG215 (504 bytes) chip, laser engraved with your name and logo. The stored link can be rewritten with an NFC app on a phone. ₹185 + GST.

Printed NFC cards, your chip

The NFC card 13.56 MHz is the same CR80 format with a choice of chip: NTAG213, 215 or 216 for tap-to-open links, MIFARE Classic or DESFire for access, ICODE SLIX for ISO 15693 readers, in 0.8 or 1.0 mm PVC. ₹20 + GST.

NTAG213 or NTAG216

Both chips work at 13.56 MHz under ISO 14443A and store an NDEF record that any NFC phone reads with a tap. NTAG213 has 144 bytes of user memory, enough for a web link, a LinkedIn or WhatsApp URL or a short landing-page address. NTAG216 has 888 bytes, so it can hold a full vCard with name, title, phone numbers, email and website that saves straight into the phone's contacts without a server. If the card points at a profile page you can edit later, NTAG213 is enough; if the contact details must live on the card itself, choose NTAG216.

What we encode and print

  • Encoding: a vCard, a website URL, a LinkedIn profile, a WhatsApp chat link or any other link, one record per card; team orders are encoded from a spreadsheet of names and links.
  • Printing: full-colour front on PVC with name, title and logo, optional QR code on the back; laser engraving on the stainless steel card.
  • Finish: gloss, matte or soft-touch lamination on PVC; matte black PVC on request.
  • Read distance: a tap, up to about 10 cm, on Android and iPhone handsets with NFC.

Google review cards and stands for shops

The same NTAG chips go into review cards and counter stands that open a shop's Google review page when a customer taps them. Formats, stand options, encoding and wholesale ordering are covered in NFC Google review cards, stands and wholesale guide.

Frequently asked questions

Do NFC business cards need an app?
No. The card stores an NDEF record, which Android and iPhone handsets with NFC read with a tap and open as a link or a contact. A QR code printed on the back covers phones without NFC.
Should I choose NTAG213 or NTAG216?
NTAG213 (144 bytes) holds a link to a profile page, LinkedIn or WhatsApp. NTAG216 (888 bytes) holds a complete vCard on the card itself. The ID-NBC3 is offered with either chip.
Can I change the link after the cards are printed?
On the stainless steel card the record is rewritable with an NFC app on a phone. If you want PVC cards re-encodable, say so in the enquiry so the chips are left unlocked; otherwise point the card at a page you can edit.
What is the minimum order?
500 pcs for the PVC and metal business cards and for the printed NFC cards. Team orders are encoded one record per card from your list.
Do you print to our artwork?
Yes. PVC cards are printed in full colour from your artwork with gloss, matte or soft-touch lamination; the stainless steel card is laser engraved with your name and logo. Send the artwork and the list of names and links with the enquiry.
