13.56 MHz NTAG216 RFID NFC Cards with 888 Bytes User Memory

DAFTags 13.56 MHz NTAG216 RFID NFC cards are blank or programmable cards for NFC business cards, product authentication, smart advertising, and mobile tap projects. The NTAG216 chip provides 888 bytes of user-programmable read/write memory and follows the NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A specifications.

The cards can be rewritten with a URL, text, number, or other supported data using a compatible NFC card programmer. Material, size, thickness, finish, printing, and encoding requirements should be confirmed before production.

Buyer Pain Points This Product Addresses

• Not every NFC card has enough memory: NTAG216 provides 888 bytes of user memory, which gives more space than smaller NFC chips for links, contact details, or product data.
• Chip choice affects phone compatibility: The NTAG216 chip works with NFC-enabled devices that support NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A. Test the target phones before mass production.
• Blank cards need a clear programming plan: The cards can be encoded with URLs, text, or numbers using a compatible NFC programmer. Confirm who will program the cards and what data format will be used.
• Custom card projects need consistent production: Material, thickness, finish, and artwork requirements must be agreed before the batch starts to avoid rework.
• Buyers need room for later updates: NTAG216 is rewritable unless the user locks the memory. Locking and data-protection requirements should be decided before deployment.

What Is a NTAG216 NFC Card?

A NTAG216 NFC card is a contactless smart card built with an NTAG216 chip. It operates at 13.56 MHz and is designed for short-range communication with NFC-enabled phones, readers, and compatible devices.

The 888-byte user memory can store supported URLs, text, numbers, or other NFC data. It is a practical option for projects that need more memory than smaller NFC chips while keeping the standard card format.

Key Features

• 888 Bytes User Memory: Provides more space for NFC data, links, or product information than smaller NTAG chips.
• 13.56 MHz Operation: Standard high-frequency NFC card technology for compatible phones and readers.
• NFC Forum Type 2: Designed to work within common NFC tap and mobile interaction workflows.
• Rewritable Data: Supports rewriting with a compatible NFC programmer unless the memory is locked.
• Custom Card Options: PVC, PET, PETG, ABS, and paper materials are listed, along with custom size, thickness, and surface finish options.
• Project Supply: Suitable for NFC business cards, promotional cards, authentication cards, and custom smart-card programs.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• NFC business cards and digital contact sharing
• Product authentication and brand protection
• Smart advertising and campaign cards
• Vouchers, coupons, and promotional cards
• Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing cards
• Mobile companion tags and connection handover
• Electronic shelf labels

Programming and Customization

Blank cards can be encoded with a compatible NFC card programmer. The final programming method depends on the data type, phone or reader used, and the software that will process the NFC record.

• URL, text, or number programming
• Material and thickness selection
• Glossy, matte, or frosted finish
• Custom size or card layout
• Artwork and print requirements to be confirmed
• Optional data locking and protection settings

Phone and Reader Compatibility

NTAG216 is designed for NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A systems. Most NFC-enabled smartphones can read supported records, but app behavior, phone model, case thickness, antenna position, and the NFC data format can affect the user experience.

Test the card with the target phones and application before a large order. If the card will be used with fixed readers, send the reader model and NFC command requirements for confirmation.

Procurement Notes

Before production, confirm the following details:

• Printing process, artwork file, and card finish
• Whether cards are supplied blank or pre-encoded
• Required URL, text, number, or custom data format
• Whether data locking is required
• Material, size, and thickness tolerance
• MOQ, sample policy, packaging, and lead time

FAQ

Will these NTAG216 cards work with an iPhone?

NTAG216 is compatible with NFC-enabled iPhones and Android phones that support NFC Forum Type 2 and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A workflows. The record type and app behavior should be tested on the target phone models.

How much data can the card store?

The NTAG216 chip provides 888 bytes of user-programmable read/write memory. The exact usable capacity depends on the record format and other system data.

Can the data be changed later?

Yes. The memory can be rewritten with a compatible NFC programmer unless the user has locked the relevant pages.

Are the cards supplied blank?

The standard item is listed as a blank NFC card. Encoding can be discussed for project orders.

Can the card be custom printed?

Material and surface options are listed. Confirm the print process, artwork, and finish before production.

Are other NFC chips available?

NTAG213, NTAG215, NTAG216, Ultralight, DESFire EV1, ICODE SLI, FM08, and other chip options are listed. The correct chip depends on the memory, security, and reader requirements.
