A strong push for near field communication: Ultra-slim NFC Tags, Stickers and Labels

New on the market is the Mobile Phone Sticker family with a Pre-Punch card option for smart phones and Inkjet Printable Labels.

The Mobile Phone Sticker family is specifically designed to allow current mobile phone users to utilize NFC services. The self-adhesive stickers are less than 0.6 mm in thickness (+0.04 mm), are available in three standard formats (48x25 mm, 44x22 mm, 28x19 mm) and can be delivered with all standard NFC and ISO 14443 chips. The integrated ferrite shield layer ensures communication between the sticker and a NFC reader system even when placed on metallic surfaces or directly on a mobile phone battery. Optional services include custom sizes, full colour printing and chip programming/personalisation.

For customers wishing to personalise the mobile sticker on standard ISO card size printers, SES RFID Solutions offers the Pre-punch NFC Card Series (TIC-XX). After programming and printing the mobile sticker is broken off from the ISO card body and attached to the mobile phone. This option allows users to complete low volume and individual personalisation on standard card equipment.

The NFC-Ink Jet Printable Label Series XX SCIP labels are delivered in a 3x3 layout on an A4 size sheet. The self adhesive labels can be printed using common office ink jet and laser printers. Options include a 3 x 3 or 6 x 6 layout and chip programming.
