NFC Plates
Rugged on-metal NFC plates for industrial equipment, vehicles and outdoor installations with strong adhesives.
NFC Plates, also called adhesive NFC tags, tap plates or stick-on NFC signs, are thin flat plates with an NFC (13.56 MHz) chip laminated inside and a strong adhesive backing. Peel, stick and your surface becomes tap-to-review enabled in seconds - no tools, no frame, no stand required.
They turn any wall, counter, door or table into a touchpoint. A customer taps with a phone and lands on your Google review form, social profile, digital menu or link - no app and no QR scanning needed. Because they sit flush, plates stay out of the way in busy service areas while quietly driving offline-to-online traffic.
We build plates in clear acrylic, rigid PVC, glossy epoxy and natural wood, all with 3M 9448A double-sided adhesive and full-colour logo or artwork printing. Sizes, shapes and colours are customisable, and we pre-encode your link before shipping so each plate works the moment it is applied. All products are manufactured to your specifications. Sizes, materials, chips and printing options can be fully customized.

Product Features
Each NFC plate seals a programmable NXP NTAG chip between a printed face and a strong 3M adhesive layer. Peel the liner, press it onto a clean surface and the spot is ready for taps - no frame, no stand, no wiring. The printed face carries your logo, QR code and a clear tap prompt, so customers know exactly what to do.
Adhesive and Mounting
All plates use 3M 9448A double-sided adhesive for a permanent, bubble-free bond on walls, counters, doors, tables and most metals. For metal or curved surfaces we offer an on-metal version with a ferrite layer that keeps the chip readable. Applied plates stay flat and discreet even in busy service areas.
Custom Printing
We print full-colour logos, artwork and QR codes directly on the plate face, in acrylic, PVC, epoxy and wood builds. Choose the size, shape and colour, and we pre-encode your review link, social profile or menu before shipping so every plate works the moment it is stuck down.
Durability
Acrylic, PVC and epoxy plates are sealed for daily use and resist water, dust and scratches from normal handling. Wooden plates use a coated finish suited to indoor use. All are built to stay presentable through long day-to-day service.
Rewritable and Flexible
Because the data lives in rewritable NTAG memory, you can update the linked review page, social profile or menu at any time with an NFC phone or writer. The same plate keeps working for years, so a business that changes campaigns does not need a new plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an NFC plate?
An NFC plate is a thin, flat plate with an NFC (13.56 MHz) chip laminated inside and a strong adhesive backing. Peel, stick it on any flat surface, and that surface becomes tap-to-review enabled - no app, battery or reader required. It is the lowest-profile way to add an NFC touchpoint to a wall, counter or door.
How does a customer use the plate?
They simply tap the plate with an NFC-enabled phone. The phone opens the pre-encoded page at once - usually a Google review form, a follow button or a digital menu. No QR scanning and no typing are needed, which is why taps convert far better than printed QR codes alone.
Can you print our logo and QR code on the plate?
Yes. We offer full-colour logo and artwork printing on the plate face, plus QR code printing, in acrylic, PVC, epoxy and wood builds. You can also choose the size, shape and colour, and we pre-encode your review link, social profile or menu before shipping so the plate works the moment it arrives.
Are the plates waterproof and durable?
The acrylic, PVC and epoxy plates are sealed for daily use and resist water, dust and scratches from normal handling. Wooden plates use a coated finish suited to indoor use. All are built to stay presentable through busy day-to-day service.
Can the link be changed after the plate is applied?
Yes. Because the data is stored in rewritable NTAG memory, you can update the linked review page, social profile or menu at any time with an NFC phone or writer. The same plate keeps working for years, so a business that changes campaigns does not need a new plate.
