General
A 3D-printed product with a built-in NFC chip and QR code. Tap it with any modern smartphone and whatever URL you've set opens in the browser instantly — no app required on either side.
No app required. iPhone 7 and later reads NFC automatically in the background — no unlock, no setup. Every Android phone with NFC does the same. The QR code works on any camera app. Nothing to install.
Anything with a URL. Digital business card or vCard, Google Review link, website, portfolio, LinkedIn, Calendly, Spotify, WhatsApp, payment link (Revolut, PayPal), Google Maps location, or any custom URL. You set it in your Tapora dashboard and can change it any time.
About 5–10% of NFC interactions fail — older phones, NFC switched off, thick cases, or environmental interference. The QR code on every unit points to the same link, turning every failed tap into a successful scan. Competitors who ship NFC-only leave those interactions on the table.
No. You pay once for the product. Your Tapora dashboard and the link-redirect service that makes your URL updatable are included at no ongoing cost. No platform lock-in, no recurring charges.
Yes. Your keychain or badge points to a redirect URL managed in your Tapora dashboard, not directly to the destination. Update the dashboard link and every tap after that hits the new destination. No need to reprogram the physical product.
Keychain
See Keychain →The 3D-printed body is more resilient than epoxy-coated equivalents — it resists key-ring pressure, minor drops, and daily wear without cracking or chipping. The NFC chip is passive (no battery) and rated for 100,000+ read cycles. Surface wear on the print is the only realistic concern under very heavy daily use.
PLA-based filament in multiple colors using Bambu AMS multi-color printing. The body is solid — not a hollow shell or an epoxy pour over a chip. Your design is printed into the body itself.
Standard keychains ship in our signature shape. Custom shapes are available on bulk orders (50+ units) — contact us with your requirements and we'll confirm feasibility and pricing.
Badge
See Badge →The adhesive is strong but leaves no residue on clean, non-porous surfaces under normal use. For high-value surfaces (premium laptop lids, rental furniture), test on a small corner first. The badge itself won't scratch surfaces.
Yes, carefully. Use a card or fingernail at one corner and peel slowly at a shallow angle. Repositioning works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. Adhesive strength reduces after the first removal — for multi-surface use, order spare badges.
Smooth, clean, dry surfaces: laptop lids, phone cases, glass, painted wood, plastic, metal, laminated tables. It does not adhere well to rough, porous, or textured surfaces (exposed brick, fabric, rough timber). For outdoor permanent installation, ask us about weather-resistant mounting tape.
Water-resistant for normal use (rain, splashes, wipe-down cleaning). Prolonged submersion or pressure washing will degrade the adhesive. For outdoor or wet-environment use, seal the perimeter with a small amount of clear silicone.
Ordering & customisation
The product configurator is coming soon — you'll choose colors, upload your logo or text, and preview your design in real time before ordering. Until it launches, sign up to be notified and we'll handle design manually for early orders.
50 units. Below that, individual keychains and badges are available at standard pricing from the product pages. For 50+ units, see our bulk pricing page for volume tiers.
Yes. Supply a CSV mapping each unit to its URL — useful for per-agent keychains, per-table badges, or per-product instructions. We program each unit individually and verify before dispatch.
Shipping
Individual orders: production and dispatch within 48 hours of order confirmation. Bulk orders (50–99 units): 48–72 hours. 100–499 units: 3–5 business days. 500+ units: agreed at quote stage.
We ship from our EU workshop. EU delivery is fastest — typically 1–3 days in transit after dispatch. We ship worldwide; non-EU orders usually arrive within 5–10 business days depending on destination and customs.
Yes. Every order includes a tracking number sent to your email on dispatch. You can follow your parcel from our workshop to your door.
Technical
NTAG213 — the most widely compatible NFC Forum Type 2 tag. Readable by all NFC-enabled iOS and Android devices without any app. 144 bytes of user memory, sufficient for a standard URL.
The chip is rated for 100,000+ read cycles. Under daily real-world use — even heavy use — the chip will outlast the physical product by a significant margin.
The chips ship write-locked. This is intentional — it prevents accidental or malicious reprogramming of your physical product. The URL is updated via your Tapora dashboard (which controls the redirect), not by re-writing the chip.
Your chip points to a redirect URL on our infrastructure. If that service ever goes away, the tap would fail. We take this seriously: we are committed to maintaining the redirect service indefinitely, and we're documenting a 'full unlock' process that lets you re-write chips directly should you ever need it.
