Application guide

NFC labels and embedded tags for connected products

Start with the action a customer should complete after tapping the product. For a web experience, encode an NDEF URL under your control, choose enough memory for the complete message and test the finished tag with the intended phones and packaging.

Build the application specification

Project decisionWhat to defineWhat the sample must demonstrate
Product information or serviceDestination URL, ownership of the domain and the ongoing content update process.Confirm the intended page opens from representative supported phones.
Personalized item experiencePer item identifier, URL generation rule and connection to your backend record.Check that each tag reaches the correct item and that printed data agrees.
Authentication requirementThreat model, required IC security and server verification workflow.Validate the complete verification system; a readable UID or password alone is insufficient.

Product configurations to discuss

These are catalog options for a specification discussion. Confirm suitability with your system provider and qualify the chosen product before production.

NTAG213 NFC tags

NFC labels and inlays for phone interactions, connected products and compatible identification systems. Choose the NFC tag type, chip memory, antenna and construction, then specify the NDEF content and production encoding workflow.

NTAG216 RXD00 transparent disc tag

A transparent PVC disc transponder for enclosure integration and compact identification assemblies. Diameters range from 13 to 50 mm, with optional adhesive backing. Select the diameter and IC together to meet antenna and installation requirements.

Questions before ordering

Can the online content change after the tag is locked?

Yes, if the tag points to a URL you control and the content at that destination can be updated. Permanent locking prevents rewriting the tag memory; it does not freeze the website behind the URL.

Which NTAG memory size is suitable?

Measure the entire encoded message, including its data structure and headers. Compare that requirement with the IC user memory, then verify the actual encoded sample before selecting a production part.
