NFC Tag

Description

What Is an NFC Tag?

An NFC tag is a tiny chip with an antenna that stores information. When a compatible smartphone is placed close to it, the phone instantly reads the data and performs an action — no batteries, no pairing, no apps required for basic use.

Common uses include:

• Opening a website or landing page
• Sharing digital business cards
• Linking to Google Reviews
• Product authentication
• Smart automation (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, smart home)
• Event check‑ins and access control

How Businesses Use NFC Tags

NFC tags are extremely flexible. Here are some popular business use cases:

• Marketing & Branding – Tap to open your website, portfolio, or social media
• Retail & Packaging – Product information, manuals, or authenticity checks
• Hospitality – Menus, Wi‑Fi access, and feedback links
• Offices & Teams – Smart desk automation or digital ID cards
• Events – Contactless information sharing and registrations

With custom 3D‑printed housings and your logo added, NFC tags become a professional branded product — not just a chip.
