NFC Tags and Readers for Digital Product Passports
A digital product passport gives one physical unit its own online record, and the easiest way to reach that record is a tap. An NFC tag on the product holds the address of that unit's passport page, so a buyer with an NFC-enabled smartphone can open it with no app, and the brand can show origin, product details and service history for that exact serial number.
This page covers the tags and readers needed to carry those passports: printed NFC labels, mini stickers and epoxy tags, tamper-detect labels for sealed goods, a dual UHF and NFC inlay for products that also pass through RFID warehouses, and an NFC handheld for binding tags at the end of the production line.
How it works
- 1
Create the product and its units
Set up the product record in the passport software, then create a separate passport for each serial number you make.
- 2
Encode and bind a tag
Write the passport link to an NFC tag and bind it to that unit, using an NFC phone or an Android NFC handheld on the line.
- 3
Fix the tag to the product
Stick a label on the product or its packaging, embed an inlay under the brand label, or hang an epoxy tag, picking a format that will last as long as the product.
- 4
Buyers tap to view
Anyone with an NFC phone taps the tag to open that unit's page and can send the brand a service request from there, while each tap is logged for the brand.

The software
The passport software on IdentiumOne lets a brand build product records, create a passport per unit, bind NFC tags from its console, add lifecycle events such as manufacture, sale and service, and handle service requests raised from the public page. It also records scans so brands can see where products are being checked. The tags here only carry a link, so passport content lives in the software and can change after shipping. For the platform tour and a demo, visit the digital product passport page on IdentiumOne.

Frequently asked questions
Which NFC chip should I use for product passports?
NTAG213 is the usual choice because it holds a web link comfortably and works with NFC phones. Pick NTAG215 or NTAG216 when you need more memory, and the NTAG213 TT label when the tag should show that a seal has been opened.
Can customers read the tag with an ordinary phone?
Most current smartphones with NFC open a link stored on an NTAG tag when it is tapped, without a separate app. The tag holds only the link and the content sits on the passport page, so it can be updated after the product has shipped.
Does an NFC passport meet the EU digital product passport rules by itself?
No tag or software does that on its own. These tags and the passport platform give you a per-unit record and something on each unit that points to it; the data each product category must hold is set by the applicable rules, so check them for your sector.
Can a passport tag also be used for RFID inventory?
Yes, with the ID-4020-EM4425 dual-frequency inlay. Its UHF side can be read by UHF readers during stock checks, at a listed range of up to 0.5 m depending on reader and antenna, and its NFC side by a buyer's phone, so one tag does both jobs.
