NFC and the digital profile
A card that opens your contact details
Tap the card with a phone or scan its QR code and your digital profile or link opens. You build the profile in the FDS Cards configurator.
- NFC and QR set up as you choose: a profile, your website or another link
- Works with iPhone XR and newer and Android phones with NFC, no app needed
- If a phone has no NFC, the QR code opens the profile
- NFC goes into a metal card with a dedicated construction, so you choose it when you order
Scope of work
What the work includes
We shape every project around your goal. Choose a topic to see what it covers.
Choose what the card needs to do
Metal, plastic and digital options serve different purposes. Define the information, finish and any digital connection in the specification.
- Metal and other business cards
- Membership, VIP and gift cards
- NFC or QR options suited to the chosen card
Metal, plastic or another material
Metal highlights the finish and material. Plastic may suit an everyday customer card; the FDS Cards catalogue also includes wood and other options. Compare material with purpose and quantity.
Artwork and production options
Prepare the logo, text and card details for the chosen technique. Printing, engraving, variable data or cutouts are specified individually; not every feature suits every material.
The physical card and a digital connection
QR can open a page; NFC use depends on the card and profile. A member number alone does not create a loyalty system. Check the required function before production.
Selection and artwork approval
Business cards have their own selection journey. A bespoke membership project agrees specification and artwork, then FDS Cards confirms invoicing, production and delivery.
How the work runs
From your choice to the card in your hand
- Step 01
Choose the metal and finish in the configurator, or send your logo and details.
- Step 02
We prepare the design free of charge: you receive the first draft within 24 hours, and we refine it until you approve it.
- Step 03
Engraved or printed metal cards are usually made in 1–2 days; cut-throughs, etching and custom shapes take about 10–15 working days.
- Step 04
Every metal card comes in a protective sleeve, with a logo gift box as an option. We deliver worldwide.
