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.
For more information and details of how on-metal tags compare with normal tags, read our on-metal NFC tag guide.
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.
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.
