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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
