NFC business cards explained: how one tap opens your profile
What's inside an NFC card, which phones can read it, and why you never need to reprint it when your details change.

NFC stands for Near Field Communication, the same short-range technology behind contactless payments. An NFC business card contains a tiny chip and antenna sealed inside the card.
What happens when someone taps your card
1. They hold the top of their phone near your card. 2. The phone powers the chip wirelessly and reads a short web link stored on it. 3. A notification appears and opens your digital card in the browser. No app is required.
Which phones work?
Every iPhone from the XS onward reads NFC automatically, as do almost all Android phones made in the last six years (NFC must be switched on in some Android settings). For older phones, every MC GRAPHICS card also carries a printed QR code on the back.
Why you never need to reprint
We encode the chip with a permanent short link that points to your digital card. When you change your phone number, title or photo in the dashboard, the link stays the same, so the card in your wallet always opens the latest version.
Choosing a material
- PVC: light, durable and printed in full colour on both sides. Great for teams. - Metal: brushed or matte stainless steel with laser engraving. Memorable at first meetings. - Wood: sustainably sourced bamboo with engraved details, for brands with a natural feel.
Is it secure?
The chip stores only a web link, the same as a QR code. It holds no payment or personal data and can't be used to read anything from the phone that taps it.
Order an NFC card from your dashboard, link it to any of your digital cards, and we'll send a proof for approval before we print.
