The NTAG213 NFC card with pre-printed ID is a white hard PVC card in standard CR80 format with a unique number printed on the front, for example ADH21552. That number matches the record in your system, so each card can be assigned to a person, an asset or a customer without writing anything by hand.
Identify every card without opening any system
When you hand cards out to staff, members or teams, the hard part is not the chip, it is knowing whose card is whose. With a printed ID you just look at the card to find it in your database, and if it gets lost you deactivate it by its number.
Inside there is an NTAG213 with its own UID and 144 bytes to store a URL, such as a personal profile or a check-in record. If you also want your logo, we print it next to the number.

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 NTAG213 works with every NFC-enabled phone. iPhone XS and later read the card 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 fits in the NTAG213 memory?
144 bytes of user memory, enough for a URL of about 130 characters, a phone number, an email address or a short text. To store a full contact card with several fields you need a chip with more memory, such as the NTAG216.
Can I choose the numbering?
Yes. Tell us the prefix and the starting number when you order and we follow the sequence. If you do not specify, we use a consecutive factory numbering.
Want the card with your full design?
If you are after a card printed in full colour with your brand across the front, the custom printed NTAG213 PVC NFC card has the same chip, offset printing in matte or gloss and the option to keep the printed ID.
