Card stock
If you just tapped a card to get here, the thing in your hand is printed 400gsm card stock with a microchip with an antenna laminated inside. It looks like an ordinary nice business card until somebody taps it.
This is the card you buy a stack of. It sits in a holder by your register so customers can take one home.
How it gets made
Printed, plain and simple. Both sides, then the microchip with its antenna gets laminated inside and the cards are cut on my own machines.
Price
3
Canadian dollars, plus HST, each; most shops take one per employee and a stack for the counter. Two weeks from artwork approval.
What the price includes
Printed both sides, every tag encoded and the link set up. Artwork comes from your logo file if you have one. If you do not, I set it from scratch and you approve a proof before anything gets printed.
If your number changes
Every card in the stack points at the same link, and that link can be changed later at no cost. New phone number, new menu, new Instagram; I re-point it once and every card already sitting in customers' junk drawers follows. Nothing gets reprinted.
Designs
Starting points, shown with my own name on them. Yours carries your name, your logo, your colours.
Hold one up to a window and you can see the copper antenna coil through the paper. That coil is the whole machine.
