Making NFC business cards involves embedding a tiny NFC (Near Field Communication) chip into a physical card (usually plastic, metal, or wood) and programming it with digital content such as a website, contact details, or a digital business card (vCard). Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make NFC business cards:

Step-by-Step Guide to Make NFC Business Cards
1. Choose the Card Material
You can embed NFC chips into different types of cards:
PVC cards (most common – like credit cards)
Wooden cards(eco-friendly and stylish)
Metal cards(premium look but need plastic/NFC sticker layering due to signal blocking)
Paper cards with NFC stickers(cost-effective option)

✅ Tip: PVC and wood are easiest to work with for mass production and programming.
2. Choose the Right NFC Chip
Select an NFC chip based on the memory size and compatibility.
| Chip Type | Memory Size | Features                         |
| --------- | ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| NTAG213   | 144 bytes   | Most common, ideal for URLs      |
| NTAG215   | 504 bytes   | Good for digital business cards  |
| NTAG216   | 888 bytes   | More data, advanced applications |

3. Design the Card
Design your business card with:
Name and title
Logo and contact info
Optional QR code as a backup
Space allowance for NFC chip location (usually center)
Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Canva, Photoshop, or ask a printing service for templates.

4. Embed the NFC Chip
There are two ways:
For Small Batch / DIY:
Use NFC tags (like NTAG215 stickers)
Stick the NFC tag to a blank card (PVC, wood, etc.)
Cover with a printed label or laminate over it
For Mass Production:
Order from a manufacturer that can laminate NFC inlays inside the cards
Provide your artwork and choose the chip type
Specify printing method (digital printing, silk screen, etc.)

5. Program the NFC Chip
Use your smartphone (with NFC) to program the tag.
Apps:
NFC Tools (Android/iOS)
NXP TagWriter (Android)
What you can write:
Your website / LinkedIn
Card contact info
Social media
Calendar invite
Custom URL (e.g., to Linktree or a vCard hosting site)

6. Test the Card
Tap it on various phones to check compatibility.
Make sure the content loads fast and accurately.
Optional: Make it Dynamic
Use a dynamic NFC URL platform like Popl, Tapni, or Linktree to allow updating your info without reprogramming the tag.
Point the NFC tag to that dynamic link.
Want to Manufacture Them at Scale?
If you're producing for clients or a business:
Partner with a factory that specializes in NFC card production (like your own if you're one).
Offer custom printing, chip selection, programming, and packaging.
Consider providing value-added services like cloud dashboards or QR backups.
