45x30mm Tamper Tag NTAG424
- Will destruct when tried to be removed
- NTAG424 authentication chip
- Thin construction - can be used under labels
This tag is particularly delicate to handle and care must be taken removing from the liner and applying.
Supplied in strips in lower quantities or on a reel in higher numbers.
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.
We can provide high-speed encoding services for these tags for ixkio users and in some cases other verification systems.
This product is available as special order with unique ID print for visual identification if required. Please contact us for information and ordering.
There are two main categories of NFC tamper labels - Destruct type (which stop working on tamper) and Detect type (which continue to work but can tell if a tamper has been made). Destruct labels have two sub-types : scratch and peel. Detect have two sub-types : break and capacitive.
Tamper tags don't like movement. They work best on firm, solid and non-flexible surfaces such as glass or rigid plastics.
Scratch Tamper
Scratch tamper tags are designed to disintegrate on an attempt to remove. The tags must be attached to a smooth, clean surface. If you are testing, give the label plenty of time (ideally 24 hours) for the adhesive to get a good grip. An attempt to remove will chip away at the tag and destroy the antenna. These tags can be placed behind other labels.
Peel Tamper
Peel tamper tags have two layers which are designed to separate when an attempt is made to remove. The tags must be applied to a smooth, clean surface. As with scratch tags, give plenty of time for the adhesive to reach full strength before testing removal. On removal, the top layer will separate from the base layer destroying the antenna and preventing the tag working.
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.
