Custom NFC Epoxy Cards & Printed Keytags
Updated 2026-09-10
An NFC epoxy card combines a printed card or keytag body with an epoxy-style finish for branded membership and phone-tap projects. Its shape and attachment point distinguish it from a standard wallet card. Choose the reader or phone interaction first, then approve the chip, antenna layout, artwork and finished sample; a glossy surface does not establish system compatibility.

Selection & sample approval
Choose the shape around the interaction
Include with your request
- Specify a wallet card, hanging tag or keyring format, including the hole position and usable artwork area.
- For a phone-tap link, approve the complete encoded NDEF message on the intended phones; for access, obtain the issuer credential specification.
- Separate printed artwork, epoxy coverage and attachment hardware in the quote, including any tooling for a new outline.
Check on the sample
- Check edge finish, hole strength and whether the attachment obscures the print or tap position.
- Read the finished tag on the target device in its normal carry position, including nearby metal keys.
- Match printed numbers or QR codes to the supplied data record and verify the approved encoded content.
Spec Check
What to confirm in the card spec sheet
Protocol, chip family, card body, print finish, and encoding plan usually need to be locked before card samples are approved.
| Format | Printed card or keytag with epoxy-style finish; confirm the selected construction |
| Shape and dimensions | Selected outline, thickness, hole and print area confirmed on the drawing |
| Electronic configuration | Chip and antenna selected for the intended phone or installed reader |
| Personalization | Artwork, visible numbering, QR content and encoding specified separately |
| Accessories | Confirm ring, cord or clip requirements and whether they are included |
| Purchase specification | Quantity per design, tooling, finish and approved sample recorded in the quote |

NFC Epoxy Card Types
1Printed epoxy card or transparent epoxy keyfob?
This page is for a printed card or shaped keytag with a finished graphic face. Choose the epoxy keyfob when a transparent body and visible inlay are part of the design. A custom outline changes the space available for both the antenna and attachment, so approve the engineering drawing before committing to tooling.
2A tap needs a defined destination
For a campaign, provide the final URL or other intended content and identify who maintains the destination after delivery. A printed identifier, a chip identifier and an encoded URL are separate fields. For a membership system, agree how the supplied identifier maps to an account and test enrollment and revocation in that system.
3Approve the finished surface
Evaluate the actual finish under normal lighting and handling. Check print alignment beneath the coating, legibility of small numbers and the cut edge around the attachment hole. Ask for the exposure evidence needed for outdoor or wet use rather than treating an epoxy surface as a lifetime or ingress rating.

Buyer Questions
Questions buyers usually ask before sample approval
These FAQs cover the points that usually come up between a first shortlist and a real sample or quote request.
Does an NFC epoxy card work with a loyalty POS terminal?+
Only when the terminal and loyalty software support the selected credential and enrollment method. A phone-readable URL does not automatically register a loyalty transaction. Confirm the reader, application and data format with the system provider and test a sample.
What quantity and specifications are needed to quote NFC Epoxy Card?+
Published order guidance: 500 pieces standard category baseline; confirm the selected construction, chip and customization. Specify the chip, dimensions, construction, customization and quantity per design. Include the destination and required date so the offer can identify setup, packing and freight separately.
Can I evaluate NFC Epoxy Card before a bulk order?+
Request the available configuration and agree the sample test. The standard policy allows up to 5 free stock pieces; buyer-paid express freight is $25–60, credited against the first production order over $500. Custom samples and qualified evaluation kits have separate terms; confirm which path applies to this product.
How is the lead time for NFC Epoxy Card confirmed?+
Request the schedule for the exact configuration and quantity. The schedule depends on approved specifications, materials, artwork or data where required, and the agreed payment conditions. Preparation, carrier transit and destination clearance are separate; confirm the requested arrival date in the quotation.
How do I check NFC Epoxy Card compatibility?+
Match the chip protocol, memory and data format to the production reader and software. A shared frequency or similar product shape does not establish compatibility. Validate a representative sample in the intended installation.
What customization and evidence should I request for NFC Epoxy Card?+
Agree printing, numbering, attachment and encoding only where supported by the selected construction and chip. Factory identifiers, writable user memory and application keys are different fields. Specify the required inspection and environment tests, and request evidence covering the actual finished product and destination.
How is international delivery of NFC Epoxy Card quoted?+
Provide the destination, quantity and packing requirement. Agree the transport mode, named place or port, Incoterms version, importer, insurance and required documents before shipment. Freight cost and risk transfer can occur at different points. Refer to the shipping and Incoterms page for the quotation checklist; no single transit time applies to every destination.
