Description

Connect Physical Packaging to Digital Content

Give customers a way to access digital content from your packaging. These custom NFC labels combine a printed coated-paper face with an adhesive backing and an NFC chip, bringing your brand design and digital connection into one label.

Use them on paper cartons, paper bags and plastic packaging for interactive packaging projects and identification of higher-value products. Chip encoding and any verification system are configured for the individual project.

Keep Your Brand Visible

Single-sided CMYK printing gives you space for your logo, brand graphics and a clear tap prompt. Plan the label artwork alongside its placement so customers can recognize where to hold their device.

The standard circular label measures 25 mm in diameter, approximately 0.98 in. Custom round and square formats are also supported.

Plan Around the Packaging Surface

The standard construction is intended for non-metal surfaces, including paper, paperboard and plastic. Metal applications require an additional isolation design and should be specified when requesting a quote.

These labels are intended for the outside of packaging and must not come into direct contact with food.

Match the NFC Setup to Your Project

The specified NFC configuration operates at 13.56 MHz, with 144 bytes of memory and an approximate read/write distance of 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in).

Share your packaging surface, preferred label size, order quantity and digital content requirements when requesting a quote. The chip and encoding plan determine the applicable minimum order quantity.
