Order Guidelines:

Encoding:

• By using our excellent encoding service we can encode your NFC Tags / Products so they are ready to use as soon as they arrive at your door. Your encoding data can be in a spreadsheet or text document, or you can use our handy Encoding Template, which includes six example pages to get you started.

Print:

• Artwork Requirements:
  To get optimum printing results for your products we require your artwork file to be in a vector based file format such as .pdf, .ai or .eps. with a bleed line of 3mm. Please see an artwork checklist below for our preferred artwork layout:

 

• Set up document to correct size:
  1. Colour – CMYK
  2. Bleed – 3mm
  3. Add crop marks
  4. Safe area – 3mm
  5. Resolution – 300dpi
  6. Fonts – embedded

 

Extra Print Options:

• Variable Number Print:
  Many of our NFC Tags / Products – from NFC Tags to NFC Cards and Industry NFC Tags – can benefit from Variable Number Print, which allows them to be individually identified. We can print directly onto the surface of a Tag / Product (in black), clearly displaying an ID which matches a Tag / Product encoding and allows them to be referenced quickly.
  Depending on requirements, some of our customers require the printed number to be the 14 digit alphanumeric UID number that we would retrieve directly from the NFC chip (IC) itself, and then print this UID number on the surface of the NFC Product so you would be able to visibly see the number you would be scanning when using the NFC functionality.
  Please provide a file (spreadsheet or text document) with the Variable Number Print sequence that you require printed. If you require the NFC chips UID to be printed rather than a specific sequence, please make this clear on the file you send over to us.

 

• Variable QR Code Print:
  Variable QR Code Print along with the NFC functionality on products gives users two options to retrieve information via either using a camera on the QR Code or tapping onto the NFC chip (IC). The information received from the user could be a simple URL or some text. Variable QR Code print also offers the easy individual identification of NFC Products, with the printing of an alphanumeric or numeric sequence. In this way, NFC QR Code Print allows for easy cross-referencing.
  We require that customers send a spreadsheet with two simple columns – one for the QR Code information, and one for the data to be encoded (if required).

 

• Barcode Print:
  Barcode Print allows many of our NFC Tags / Products to be individually identified, displaying a sequence that offers an easy reference for a number of purposes. These alphanumeric or numeric sequences can vary according to each unique NFC Tag / Product.
  We offer the choice of an NFC Barcode Print in a simple shortened format which allows for quick identification, or a longer version. To take advantage of our NFC Barcode Print service, all you need to do is send us a spreadsheet containing the barcode information.
