Start with the destination and the action it supports.
The tap might open a profile, website, portfolio, booking page, review page or contact page. Use one clear action that suits the business purpose rather than sending the recipient to an unrelated or temporary destination.
The customer remains responsible for the destination, domain, content, privacy, analytics and ongoing availability. Decide before encoding whether a stable managed page or redirect is needed to reduce unnecessary reprints when content changes.
- Confirm the exact URL or supported action before artwork approval.
- Name the person or provider responsible for hosting and later changes.
- Test the destination independently before it is encoded into the cards.
Make the physical card useful and test the tap before rollout.
Show the person, organisation and essential contact information clearly on the printed card. A concise tap instruction and a tested QR code can provide useful guidance or a visible fallback where the artwork and destination are suitable.
Phone behaviour varies by compatible device, operating system, settings, case and programmed action. Confirm the physical card, chip, destination and encoding method, then test representative finished cards before relying on them in a wider rollout.

Frequently asked questions
What can an NFC business card open?
A supported NFC action can open a customer-supplied web address such as a profile, website, portfolio, booking page, review page or contact page.
Does PlasticCard.nz host the digital profile or website?
No. The customer or its chosen provider owns and maintains the destination, content, domain, privacy settings and availability.
Will every smartphone read the NFC card in the same way?
No universal behaviour should be assumed. NFC support varies by compatible device, operating system, settings, phone case and programmed action.
