Overview

What the stainless steel NFC metal card does

The ID-NFC-MCARD is a business card cut from stainless steel and fitted with an NXP NTAG213 or NTAG215 chip. You hand it over like a paper visiting card; the other person taps it on an NFC phone and the screen opens whatever you stored: a vCard, your website, a LinkedIn profile or a portfolio page, with no app needed.

Link or contact card: NTAG213 vs NTAG215

With NTAG213 (144 bytes), the usual setup is one link to a profile page you control; edit the page and every card already handed out shows the new details. NTAG215 (504 bytes) leaves room for a fuller contact card stored on the chip itself, which the phone can open without an internet connection.

Engraving, encoding and team orders

Laser engraving marks the steel permanently, so engrave what will not change, such as your name and company logo, and keep details that do change, like a phone number or designation, on the chip. Because the card is rewritable, a phone NFC app is enough to update it later. For cards given away at events, the record can be locked once final so nobody else overwrites it.

For a sales team or gifting order, send each person's name, the logo and the link or contact details with your quote request so every card is engraved and encoded individually.

To read the card, hold it flat against the back of the phone, near the top, rather than swiping it past.

Want full-colour printed artwork instead of engraving? See the PVC NFC Business Card ID-NBC3. Programming steps are in our NTAG213/215/216 guide, or browse all NFC tags.

Frequently asked questions

How does an NFC metal business card share my details?
The card carries an NXP NTAG213 or NTAG215 chip holding your vCard, website, LinkedIn profile or portfolio link as an NDEF record. When someone taps the card on an NFC-enabled phone, the phone opens that record directly, with no app needed on either side.
Can I change the details after the card is made?
Yes, the chip is rewritable, so the stored link or contact card can be updated with a standard NFC app on a phone. The laser engraving on the steel is permanent, so keep details that may change on the chip rather than on the card face. If you lock the record, it can no longer be rewritten.
Should I choose NTAG213 or NTAG215?
NTAG213 (144 bytes) is enough for a single link to a profile page or a very short contact card. NTAG215 (504 bytes) has room for a fuller contact card stored on the chip, which opens even when the phone is offline.
Can you engrave and encode metal cards for my whole team?
Yes. Custom laser engraving and bulk orders are available. Share each person's name, your logo file and the link or contact details to be encoded with your quote request; pricing depends on quantity and engraving.
Metal card or PVC NFC business card: which should I order?
Choose the stainless steel card when you want an engraved, durable card for executives, gifting or premium networking. If you need full-colour printed artwork, the PVC NFC Business Card ID-NBC3 is the better fit.
