NFC Wood Business Cards

The NFC chip is a thin, flexible antenna embedded between the wood layers during production. It's completely invisible — no bump, no visible element on the surface. The wood does not block NFC signals (unlike metal), so the card scans from either side.

The chip is sealed and protected by the wood layers. It's durable enough to withstand normal handling, though wood NFC cards should be kept dry — prolonged water exposure can damage the wood (not the chip).

Read distance is 1–3cm — the same as any NFC card. The wood thickness does not meaningfully affect scan performance.

Wood and NFC technology seem like opposites — one ancient, one modern. That tension is what makes this card compelling. Someone receives a piece of real wood with visible grain and natural warmth. Then they tap it with their phone and a website opens. The juxtaposition is memorable.

For brands in sustainability, outdoor recreation, architecture, interior design, wellness, craft food and beverage — the material and the technology both align with the brand story. The wood communicates natural, handmade, considered. The NFC communicates modern, connected, efficient. Together they say: we respect tradition and we embrace technology.

Every card has unique grain because every piece of wood is unique. Combined with the NFC chip, each card becomes a one-of-a-kind digital-physical object.
