NFC Business Cards

A third side - inside

When you say your first hello and present your business card, you’re offering up a little piece of yourself - but with an NFC card it can be a great big piece.

Embedded in the card is a tiny microchip. When it’s touched to a smartphone, the chip asks the phone to do something. Something you’ve told it to. Perhaps download your portfolio, play music or video, load web pages, maps or apps, save your contact details - the possibilities are endless. Think of it like an enormous, dynamic and exciting third side.

I just came across these whilst I was searching for a new business card printer.

It seems like quite an exciting idea, which could potentially have some an impact if they take off.



You can also program the chips yourself, so your in charge, you can even change the function of the chip once its been handed out.#

I could see this becoming more popular than QR code, which I personally think requires to much effort on the targets behalf.

You can check them out here: NFC Business Cards, new from MOO (NO AFF)

    Any video of this working in real life? Seems like a QR code where it is a fun addition but it requires effort on the part of the phone owner to make it work. Would love some real world info on how it works, how easy it is for the phone owner, and examples of what they had the phone do.

    There are a few videos on youtube.


    If it really is this simple, it looks amazing.

    I looked into these last year and I'm pretty sure that iphones do not support the technology, so I pretty much dismissed it after that.

      It looks like you are right, which is a bit of a bummer!

      But after a bit of googling it looks like something that they are looking into.
