From swing tags to woven patches, labels to cards — we offer multiple ways to add NFC and QR connectivity to your merchandise, seamlessly integrated into your existing production workflow.
Choose from a range of NFC and QR-enabled products to connect your merchandise
Sewn-in NFC patches that become a permanent part of the garment. Washable and durable.
Applications:
Heat-applied woven patches with embedded NFC — no sewing required. Press on with a household iron and the adhesive backing bonds permanently to fabric.
Applications:
Clear, flexible NFC wet inlay tags — ultra-thin, washable, and sticky-backed. Designed to be applied underneath any woven patch or sewn-on badge, invisible to the fan but fully connected.
Applications:
NFC and/or QR-enabled care labels that replace standard tags. Discreet and integrated into existing production.
Applications:
Premium NFC and/or QR-enabled cards for season tickets, VIP memberships, and loyalty programmes.
Applications:
Trading-card style NFC and/or QR cards — issued alongside (or instead of) tagging the product itself. The fast, low-friction route when attaching tags to the merch is too slow, too expensive, or simply too complex. Each card is unique, identifiable, and a keepsake in its own right.
Applications:
Event lanyards with NFC-enabled access cards — entry credential, fan ID, and collectible in one. Tap in at the gate, tap for content during the show, keep the card after.
Applications:
Premium hang tags with embedded NFC chips and/or QR codes. Perfect for apparel, accessories, and retail products.
Applications:
Collectible NFC-enabled pin badges, coins, and medals for fans, events, and commemorative occasions. Made with our partner SMARTPINZ®.
Applications:
Silicone or fabric wristbands with NFC for events, access control, and fan engagement.
Applications:
Adhesive NFC stickers for retrofitting existing products or packaging.
Applications:
NFC-enabled tickets for enhanced event experiences beyond just entry.
