Metal-Safe NFC Stickers: Tap Works on Metal Surfaces

Metal-safe NFC stickers: when you need the tap to work everywhere

Standard NFC stickers are great on plastic, paper, wood, and most non-metal surfaces. Metal surfaces can interfere with NFC performance, which is why metal-safe NFC stickers exist.

Metal-safe stickers include a shielding layer that helps the NFC chip perform reliably when placed on metal, near metal, or on certain hard-to-tap surfaces like glass fixtures and stainless equipment.

These are common use cases where metal-safe is the safer pick:

• Appliances, equipment, tools, and machinery
• Metal product packaging, tins, and cases
• Kiosks, check-in stands, and metal signage
