Can these be used as Contact Cards?
-
If you prefer to use these as a contact card, we recommend visiting vCard.Link or linktr.ee to create a free custom URL where you can build out a custom contact card. Simply provide us the URL they provide you and we can encode this to your NFC Metal Business Card!
-
Can each chip read to a unique code?
-
Yes, you can have each chip programmed with a different set of data, if you wanted each to be variable. This would be helpful for tracking who might be visiting your site, or for members of a loyalty membership program.

How does NFC work?
-
NFC chips allow for the wireless transfer of small amounts of data between two devices. Both the chip and receiving device must be held only a few centimeters from each other to work. The data transferred is often a website URL.
-
Can you produce custom QR codes that are unique to each card?
-
Often QR codes are used in addition to the NFC chip. This is especially usefull if the person scanning does not have the capability to read the NFC chip. The NFC chip and QR code work the same in that they both point to a URL.
In our card builder, you can add a static or variable QR code to your card surface. These can match with the destination of the NFC chip on the card.

How do I encode my NFC chip myself?
-
Step 1 – Download the application NFC Tools by Wakedev on your iPhone or Android.
Step 2 – Add a record through the “Write” function.
Once downloaded, open the application, and tap “Write” on the first menu. Then, select “Add a record” on the next screen to begin adding your data. Select URL and be sure to enter that URL you would like your card to direct to into the application. To write multiple records of data, repeat this step.
Step 3 – Input the information onto the NFC card
Once you have entered your record onto the application click “Ok” in the top right corner. To encode this information on your card, click on the “Write” option in the next menu. From here it will prompt you to hold your phone near the NFC chip, and encode the chip. You should receive a notification from the app if the encoding is successful. Please note: The locations of the antennas for each phone may vary. iPhones are normally on the top middle of the phone while Androids are typically in the middle back of the phone.
Step 4 – Test the newly encoded chip
You should now be able to use the chip to transfer data on both iPhones and Androids. To see if the data has been encoded simply go back to the main menu screen by clicking “Menu” in the top left corner of the application. Then, tap “Read” and hold the new NFC chip near your phone. Your new data should then appear on the screen.
From there you should be good to go!

When will I see my first design?
-
Our in-house graphic design team will render your first digital proof within 24 working hours of your purchase (generally it’s within a few hours, depending on workload).
Once your first proof is complete you will receive an Email with a link to your design for review and approval – please be sure to check your spam folder just in case the Email ends up there.
You can submit any revisions and questions to your designer, or confirm your proof for production through the link that is emailed to you.

How do I send artwork for my order?
-
During the order process, first select your quantity. Next, select if you will supply your own artwork, or have our internal design team work on your layout. Either way, you can upload up to three files by clicking the ‘UPLOAD’ buttons under the Artwork Service step.
-
What’s included with your standard pricing?
-
We like to make things simple. Our pricing includes NFC 213 Chips, 1mm Thickness Black Metal cards, rounded corners and any silver laser etching on the front/back of the card. And, each card comes in its own plastic sleeve for protection.
-
What if I order your artwork service and don’t like the design you email me?
-
If for some reason you don’t like the initial proof of your design, we will work with you on your design until you are completely happy – that is our promise. Our second promise is that when you have your cards and hand them out, you will become a customer for life. Unlike other competitors, we have an entire team of in-house graphic designers at our offices in Southern California. If needed, they will literally pick-up the phone to call you – or you can call them at any time during business hours. We’re friendly, promise! :)
-
Can I print a full color image or multi-color logo on my card?
