How to engrave your NFC cards?

STEP 1 : PLACE YOUR ORDER

Purchase your cards using the links below:

The minimum order quantity is 5 per card reference.

STEP 2 : PREPARE YOUR DESIGN

Once you have placed your order, prepare your design.

The format of the engraved cards is 85 x 54 mm.

For engraving, we advise you to place your elements rather in the center of the image, avoiding being too close to the edges.

Features of the file to be sent:

  • Format: 85 x 54 mm or 2008 x 1276 px.
  • Resolution for the best quality: 600 DPI.
  • Allowed file types: PNG, JPG/JPEG, PDF.
  • For a PDF file: flatten all your images and vectorize all your fonts (to avoid any layout issues).
  • Printers marks: don't add printers marks (crop marks and others).
  • Color: your design should only contain black elements (#000000).
  • Content: for better quality, avoid including elements that are too complex/detailed and texts that are too thin.
  • QR Code: if you place a QR code in your design, make sure it is large enough to be clearly visible.
