CT - ISO Card (NTAG 213)

Print. Encode. Distribute. All from one source.

The CT - ISO Card with NTAG 213 chip is the go-to NFC card for any application where smartphones, tablets or NFC readers need to be triggered by a simple tap. Anyone looking to buy NTAG 213 cards that communicate with every modern Android and iPhone device will find this CRAFT Technologies (CT) model the right fit – an ISO 7810 compliant PVC card in standard credit card format, available from the IDCRAFT online shop as a plain blank or fully personalised on request, including pre-encoded NDEF data.

The card operates at 13.56 MHz to ISO/IEC 14443 A and is fully NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant. The NXP NTAG 213 chip offers 144 bytes of free NDEF user memory – enough capacity for URLs, vCards, Wi-Fi credentials, Bluetooth pairing data or short text messages. With a read range of up to 10 cm and the globally standardised NFC interface, the card is compatible with all NFC-enabled smartphones as well as common HF | NFC – RFID readers, terminals and card printers.

In its standard configuration the card ships as a blank, laminated PVC card sized 85.6 × 54 × 0.76 mm at a weight of 5 ± 1 g. But the card is far more than a blank substrate: printing (offset, digital, screen), laser engraving, sequential numbering, NDEF encoding, barcode, QR code, signature panel, magnetic stripe or hybrid contact chip combinations can all be added to your order on request – cards arrive ready to deploy.

The following part number is available in the IDCRAFT online shop – configuration can be customised on request:
