  3. 20mm PPS Disc Tag NTAG424

20mm PPS Disc Tag NTAG424

  • 20mm diameter and just 2.5mm thick
  • Durable, waterproof and long lasting
  • Resistant to washing and drying cycles
This 20mm PPS disc tag with NTAG424 authentication chip is a durable unit usually used in product and garment/accessory integration. 20mm in diameter and 2.5mm thick.

Fully waterproof to IP68, this tough tag, constructed from PPS, a high performance engineering plastic. The tag can operate in temperatures from -25 to +85 degrees centigrade and withstand long term exposure to -40 to +120 degrees.

Note that the NTAG424 chip is an advanced chip which requires specialist software both for encoding and for verification to use the anti-counterfeit features. You cannot encode these tags for authentication using a mobile phone. Please contact us before purchasing if you want to use authentication tags but aren't sure how to start.

These tags are compatible with the Ixkio Tag Management platform.

We can supply optional adhesive pads for this product for wall or product attachment. This is a very strong general purpose 3M VHB 1.1mm thick adhesive foam tape. Note that this is supplied on strips/reel not attached to the unit.

Using NFC Tags in Clothing

Seritag stock and can supply a wide range of tags for smart clothing, garments, shoes and other wearables. We have extensive experience and are always happy to provide help and advice. A few things to consider : 

Durability

Generally, the choice is between a 'garment spec' label and a hard disc tag. 

Seritag created the term Garment Specification tags to define strengthened labels which are typically designed for up to 100 domestic washes. Our tags are either tested using thermal and humidity cycling or testing to the ISO6330 international standard for textile washing. They are slightly flexible. 

Hard disc tags are rigid PPS plastic tags typically from 20mm to 25mm in size. 

Our general advice is that if your project should not have any failed tags under any circumstances, you need to use a hard disc tag. If you don't expect the garment to be washed (collectables) or washed infrequently, you expect the tags only to be scanned early in their life and/or an occasional failure later in the garment's life is acceptable - use a Garment Spec label. 

Attachment

Most garment tags - both disc and label - would be attached behind a sew-on or iron-on label. Sew-on is typically the best choice for all tags but almost always for rigid disc tags. 

We can also supply sew-on disc tags which look like buttons and can be directly applied. We aren't keen on these as the central holes can restrict chip and antenna design and can often lead to a tag that can be difficult to scan. 

We usually stock some direct iron-on garment tags which can be ideal for placing tags during manufacture or for shorter term direct use. Generally, for longer use, direct iron-on tags should be placed behind a second iron-on or sew-on patch to keep them secure.

Logistics

One bit of advice we always give - start simple and grow. The logistics of adding NFC tags to clothing can get complicated quickly - as most factories aren't used to using smart labels. While it might be the goal for unique tags in every product line, size and colour - it might not be best to try and do that from day one.

Keep it generic, keep it simple. The grow. 

Management

Seritag offer our groundbreaking ixkio tag management platform for deployment and post-installation management of both standard and authentication NFC tags. Whether you need to create dynamic NFC tags so you can modify the links later or full featured authentication for anti-counterfeit, our software has all the features you are likely to need.
