NFC metal business cards
A card that opens your digital world with a tap — on phones that support it.
An NFC metal business card contains a small embedded chip. When a compatible smartphone is held close to the card, the phone can read a stored link — typically your website, digital profile or a contact file — and offer to open it.
We're careful with the promise: NFC support varies by phone model, operating system and settings, and some phones need NFC switched on. Metal can also affect radio signals, so NFC metal cards use specific constructions that we confirm in your quote. That's why we often recommend adding a QR code as a backup.
Best for
- Sales professionals who meet many people in person
- Real estate agents sharing listings
- Founders and consultants linking to a portfolio
- Event networkers who want a memorable moment
Design suggestions
- Add a small NFC icon or 'tap here' cue — the chip itself is invisible.
- Pair NFC with a QR code so non-NFC phones still have a path.
- Point the chip to a page you control so you can update it later.
- Keep the chip area free of heavy decoration where advised in your proof.
Quote considerations
- Tell us where you want the link to go and whether you need help setting it up.
- Ask whether a QR backup fits your layout.
- Chip construction and programming details are confirmed in your quote.
- Test on several phones once you receive a sample or proof, if available.
