Can these be used as Contact Cards?
If you prefer to use these as a contact card, we recommend visiting vCard.Link or linktr.ee to create a free custom URL where you can build out a custom contact card. Simply provide us the URL they provide you and we can encode this to your Quick Plastic NFC Business Card!
What can I program to the NFC chip?
The chips carry only a small amount of data, so generally a URL to a website is most common. For the NFC 215 chip, the data limit is roughly 200 characters.

Can I re-write my NFC chip later?
Yes, we have found a free app called NFC Tools, that is easy-to-use and free on the Apple and Google app stores.
How do I encode my NFC chip myself?
Step 1 – Download the application NFC Tools by Wakedev on your iPhone or Android.
Step 2 – Add a record through the “Write” function.
Once downloaded, open the application, and tap “Write” on the first menu. Then, select “Add a record” on the next screen to begin adding your data. Select URL and be sure to enter that URL you would like your card to direct to into the application.
Step 3 – Input the information onto the NFC card
Once you have entered your record onto the application click “Ok” in the top right corner. To encode this information on your card, click on the “Write” option in the next menu. From here it will prompt you to hold your phone near the NFC chip, and encode the chip. You should receive a notification from the app if the encoding is successful. Please note: The locations of the antennas for each phone may vary. iPhones are normally on the top middle of the phone while Androids are typically in the middle back of the phone.
Step 4 – Test the newly encoded chip
You should now be able to use the chip to transfer data on both iPhones and Androids. To see if the data has been encoded simply go back to the main menu screen by clicking “Menu” in the top left corner of the application. Then, tap “Read” and hold the new NFC chip near your phone. Your new data should then appear on the screen.
From there you should be good to go!
