13.56 MHz NTAG213 NFC Contactless Cards
DAFTags 13.56 MHz NTAG213 NFC contactless cards are CR80 smart cards for mobile tap interactions, product authentication, marketing campaigns, membership records, and simple access projects. The NTAG213 chip provides 144 bytes of user-programmable read/write memory.
The card can be supplied blank or custom printed with a logo, number, barcode, or QR code and encoded for the project. Phone compatibility, artwork, card material, and NFC data format should be confirmed before production.
The Customer Pain Points
- NTAG213 memory is limited: The card has 144 bytes of user memory. It works for a short URL, contact link, or simple NFC record, but is not suitable for large files or complex data.
- NFC performance varies by phone and app: The card follows ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, but the user experience depends on the phone model, case, antenna position, and the app that reads the record.
- Custom printing needs production control: Artwork, double-sided printing, numbering, barcode, and card finish should be confirmed before the batch starts.
- Encoding and card art must match: The printed number, barcode, and NFC data should be checked together so the physical card and digital record agree.
- This is not a bank payment card: NTAG213 cards are intended for NFC data exchange and identification. Bank or EMV payment requires a different secure chip and payment certification.
What Is an NTAG213 NFC Card?
An NTAG213 NFC card is a contactless card built with an NXP NTAG213 chip. It operates at 13.56 MHz and follows NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A specifications.
The chip has 180 bytes of EEPROM, with 144 bytes available for user data. Cards can be read and rewritten by compatible phones and readers unless the memory has been locked.
Key Features
- NTAG213 Chip: NFC chip for compatible phones, tablets, and readers.
- 144 Bytes User Memory: Enough for a short URL or simple NFC record.
- CR80 Card Format: Standard 85.5 x 54 mm size for business cards, membership cards, and promotional cards.
- Custom Printing: Logo, design, double-sided printing, numbering, barcode, and QR code options are available.
- Rewritable Data: Supports rewriting with a compatible NFC device unless the memory is locked.
- Material Options: PVC, PET, PETG, wood, or paper can be discussed for the card body.

FAQ
Will these cards work with an iPhone or Android phone?
NTAG213 works with NFC-enabled phones that support NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A. Test the target phones and NFC apps before ordering.
How much data can the card store?
The NTAG213 chip has 180 bytes of EEPROM and 144 bytes of user-programmable memory. This is suitable for a short URL or simple NFC record.
Can the cards be custom printed?
Yes. Logo, full-color artwork, double-sided printing, numbering, barcode, and QR code options can be discussed.
Can the cards be used for payment?
No. NTAG213 is not a bank or EMV payment chip. It is intended for NFC data exchange, authentication, membership, and identification applications.
Can the cards be encoded before shipment?
Encoding can be discussed. Provide the required NFC record type, URL or data format, and locking requirements.
Can I request samples?
Sample availability depends on the current production schedule. Test the card with the target phone and app before a bulk order.
