The custom printed NTAG216 PVC NFC card is a hard PVC card in CR80 format with full-colour offset printing and the NTAG chip with the most memory. It is made for companies handing out hundreds or thousands of cards with the same look: NFC business cards, membership cards or event credentials.
More memory, same card size
With 888 bytes, the NTAG216 stores a full vCard, a long URL with campaign parameters or several records at once. Phones read it like any other NFC card, but you will not run out of room if you want to add more data later.
Offset printing gives flat, sharp colour across the whole run, and you can add a different ID number on each card to link it to a person or customer.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a custom printed NFC card take to arrive?
Custom printed NFC cards are made to order, and production and delivery take 20 calendar days. If you need them for a specific date, such as an event or an opening, order with time to spare or contact us first to confirm.
Does it work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. The NTAG216 works with every NFC-enabled phone. iPhone XS and later read it without opening any app, and iPhone 7 onwards can write it with an app such as NFC Tools. On Android, NFC just needs to be switched on.
What are the NTAG216's 888 bytes good for?
They hold a full vCard with name, job title, company, phone numbers, email, website and address, or a long URL with tracking parameters. It is the natural choice for NFC business cards that save the contact straight into the phone's address book.
Need fewer than 500?
For short runs, the express print NTAG216 NFC card has the same chip and can be ordered from 50 units.
