About NFC Plastic Business Cards
NFC plastic cards are the most versatile option in the NFC range. Full-color CMYK on both sides means any design works — photography, gradients, full-bleed artwork, complex layouts. There's no material limitation on what you can print.
The PVC substrate is the same material as credit cards — rigid, smooth, and durable. Cards survive pockets, wallets, travel, and years of handling. The embedded NFC chip is sealed between layers and protected from damage.
Unlike metal NFC cards (which only scan from the back), plastic NFC cards scan from either side. This means you can hand someone the card face-up and they tap it immediately — no flipping required.
Add foil stamping for metallic accents or spot UV for tactile texture. Or keep it clean — CMYK on plastic with a smart chip inside. The simplest path to a professional NFC card.
