Normal NFC tags cannot be used on metal surfaces. For metal, you need a specialist on-metal NFC tag which contains an additional barrier layer. On-metal tags can work on both metal and non-metal surfaces.
There's a big difference on the market between the quality of on-metal products, with many have a very poor on-metal performance. For these 29mm white face adhesive tags, we use the very best components and high performance ferrite barrier material for the most reliable scan performance.
Contains the industry standard NTAG213 NFC chip from NXP. Supplied on reels up to 1,000 units and on strips of 5 in smaller orders. Can be ID and QR code printed. Also available as a special order with custom full colour artwork. Contact us for information.
Note that on-metal tags have a front and back. The adhesive side with the barrier material needs to be applied to the metal surface and the white/antenna side facing towards the scanner. If you applying the tags to the back of an object being applied to a metal surface, then you need a 'reverse' on-metal NFC tag.
Normal NFC tags do not work when placed directly onto metal surfaces. Therefore, when using NFC tags on metal you either need to create a gap of at least 0.5 cm between the tag and the metal or you can use a special tag - called an 'on-metal' tag - which has an additional ferrite barrier material between the NFC tag and the adhesive.
On-metal tags will work on both metal and non-metal surfaces. However, on-metal tag scan distances always tend to be slightly less than standard NFC tags so unless you need tags that will (or might) go on metal, we would strongly recommend that you go with standard tags.
