NFC Business Cards

Tap the card on a phone and the link you chose opens instantly. From THB 250, order just 1

From ฿250

An NFC business card has an NFC chip embedded inside. Tap it on the other person's phone and the link you chose opens right away, whether that is Instagram, Facebook, LINE or your website. We print every card and write every chip ourselves. Choose from 3 types starting at THB 250. Orders of a single card are welcome, and rush jobs are done in 1 day.

Tapping an NFC business card on a smartphone instantly opens the chosen social media link

What is an NFC business card, and how is it different from paper?

An NFC business card has an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip and a small antenna embedded inside. The chip has no battery. It draws power from the phone when tapped, then passes the stored link to the phone to open.

A paper card only fits a few lines, and the person receiving it has to type your number or search for your name. An NFC card takes people to the channel you most want them to see in a single tap, whether that is your Instagram profile, Facebook page, LINE Official Account or company website.

What happens when you tap? iPhone and Android support

Have the other person tap the card near the top back of their phone (the NFC antenna position varies slightly by model)
The phone reads the link from the chip, then shows a notification or opens the browser
The link you chose opens, and they can follow you, add you on LINE or contact you right away with no extra app

iPhone: iPhone XS, XS Max, XR and later read NFC tags containing a link without opening an app. With the screen on, a notification appears to open the link. The exceptions are while the camera is open, while using Apple Pay/Wallet, or in airplane mode.

Android: Android phones that have NFC turned on read the link on the card and open it automatically.

Phones without NFC: The ready-made and custom designs have a QR code on the card that can be scanned with the camera instead.

What should your card open?

You decide what opens when someone taps your card, and we write that link onto the chip. Popular choices:

Instagram / TikTok / Facebook for shops, creators and brands that want followers
LINE Official Account so customers can add you and start chatting right away
A website or catalogue page for B2B businesses and sales teams. No website yet? See our web design service
Google Maps / a review page so customers can find your shop or leave a review. Not on the map yet? See our Google Maps service
A link-in-bio page if you want people to see several channels on one page

Tip: if you pick a link you can edit yourself (such as a website or link-in-bio page), you can update that page whenever your details change and keep using the same card.

Every card printed and every chip written in-house

NFC business cards printed in-house on an inkjet printer with waterproof ink, with every chip written in-house

We print all cards ourselves on an inkjet printer with waterproof ink and write the chips ourselves, with no outside partners or suppliers. That keeps every step under our control, lets us take single-card orders, and makes 1-day rush jobs possible.

Who are NFC business cards for?

Online shops, creators and influencers who want people to tap and follow on Instagram or TikTok
Sales and B2B teams who attend trade shows or visit factory clients often, so one tap gives the customer your website or catalogue
Business owners and freelancers who want customers to add them on LINE right away
Organisations that want their team to share the company link with a tap. For staff ID cards, see our PVC employee ID card service

Technical details: the NTAG215 chip

We use the NTAG215 chip from NXP, which has 504 bytes of user memory (496 bytes for NDEF data), more than enough for a web link
It operates at 13.56 MHz to ISO/IEC 14443 Type A / NFC Forum Type 2 Tag standards and reads within a few centimetres
The chip maker specifies at least 10 years of data retention and 100,000 write cycles

Frequently asked questions

How much does an NFC business card cost?

There are 3 types: blank with no print THB 250, ready-made design with QR code THB 350, and custom front-and-back design with QR code THB 500. All use the NTAG215 chip, and we write the link you choose onto it.

What is the minimum order?

The minimum is 1 card for every type.

How long does it take?

Rush jobs are done in 1 day and normal jobs take 3–5 working days. A custom design adds design time, which we confirm when we finalise the job.

What can the card open when tapped?

Any link you choose, such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, a LINE Official Account, a website or Google Maps. We write that link onto the chip for you.

What is the difference between the 3 types?

The blank card has no print and no QR code, so it focuses on the tap function and budget. The ready-made design lets you pick from our designs and includes a QR code. The custom design is a new front-and-back design with a QR code. All 3 use the same NTAG215 chip.

Do NFC business cards work with iPhone?

Yes. iPhone XS, XS Max, XR and later read the link on an NFC card without an app. With the screen on, tap the card near the top of the phone and a notification appears to open the link. The exceptions are while the camera is open, while using Apple Pay, or in airplane mode.

Do they work with Android?

Yes, on Android phones that have NFC with NFC turned on in settings. If a phone has no NFC, the ready-made and custom designs have a QR code to scan instead.

Does the other person need to install an app?

No. The chip stores a web link and the phone simply opens it.

If I want to change the link later, do I need a new card?

If the current link points to a page you can edit yourself, such as a website or link-in-bio page, just update that page and keep the card. If you want to change the link on the chip, ask us.

Is my personal data safe?

The chip only holds the link you chose, and it can only be read within a few centimetres. TNC Digital does not store customers' personal data and complies with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
