40x25mm Wet Inlay NTAG424
- Powerful authentication features
- Great scan distance
- 50 year data retention specification
The thin wet inlay construction has a single layer of plastic, the antenna and the chip. This makes is ideally suited for lamination between card but can work well in situations where you want the thinnest tag - such as on the cover of books or similar.
Note that the NTAG424 is an advanced chip that requires specialised software for encoding and verifying the anti-counterfeit features. Usual NFC mobile apps cannot encode these chips to work with authentication. Ixkio tag management users can use the ixkio mobile app to encode for both redirect or API with full authentication.
Encoding Yourself
You can encode your tags with a smartphone and it's quick and easy.
1. Download the Seritag Encoder app - it's free for both iPhone and Android users
2. Open the app and tap 'Encode', then add your URL
3. Tap 'Encode'
4. Hold your phone over the tag, and your tag will encode. That's it !
For more information, have a look at our How to encode tags with an iPhone and How to encode tags with an Android phone pages.
Encoding by Seritag
Seritag have fast and accurate encoding services when you need a large number of tags encoded or you want to be absolutely sure that the encoding is handled correctly.
For full information on how to order your NFC tags encoded by Seritag, read our Ordering NFC Tags with Encoding advice page.
Encoding for ixkio
If you are using our ixkio NFC tag management platform, then you can select 'Encode for ixkio' as the encoding option and we will encode to work with your ixkio account. We do not charge encoding fees for ixkio customers on labels (inc. NTAG424 authentication encoding) so if you see zero setup and unit cost, it's not a mistake !
What is tag management ?
NFC tag management allows you to dynamically control the destination URL or landing page of your NFC tags. It provides tracking and stats, authentication services for anti-counterfiet tags, and a host of features to assist in getting the right tags in the right locations or products. Ixkio even allows you to encode your own NTAG213, iCODE or NTAG424 tags with our mobile App.
Using ixkio
Ixkio can be used as either a redirect platform where tags are scanned and then redirected via ixkio to your landing pages, or as a Direct Response platform, where ixkio delivers the landing page.
It's powerful, flexible software that provides a host of features to enable simple and dynamic management of your NFC tags.

A quick guide
A normal NFC chip, such as the NTAG213, NTAG215 or iCODE SLIX can store a URL (web link) in it's memory. When scanned, it presents this link to the scanner (a mobile phone for example). It presents the same link every time, in a similar way to a QR Code.
An authentication NFC chip, such as the NTAG424, works differently. When the URL is encoded onto the tag, a secret key is also encoded, along with some other settings. When the tag is scanned, it presents the URL but also a unique code which is generated using this secret key. This unique code changes on every scan and can be verified using an authentication server which will hold the same secret key.
Note that the full name for the NTAG424 chip is the NTAG424 DNA. We usually just refer to it as the NTAG424 chip.
Using authentication chips
As this code is unique for each scan, these NTAG424 NFC tags can be used for anti-counterfeit and authentication. It makes them extremely powerful as they can be used to ensure that the tag is the exact tag that you expect it to be. All from a simple scan with a mobile phone (no special app required).
Authentication chips have a huge range of use cases from the obvious protection of luxury goods, artwork and pharmacuiticals to supply chain security, document authentication, ticketing, proof of physical presence, secure log-on and more.
Encoding authentication chips
While standard NFC tags can be easily encoded with any of the free mobile phone applications, encoding NTAG424 chips is substantially more complicated. You have four choices :
- Use NXP's TagXplorer desktop software to encode the tags (note that NXP no longer support this software but at the time of writing it was still available to download)
- Build your own encoding system.
- Get Seritag to encode your tags for you
- Use our Ixkio Tag Management platform and encode with our ixkio mobile app.
