Прозрачная наклейка NFC на 13,56 МГц

13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker in wet-inlay roll format — NTAG213/215/216 chip, PET face, CSV NDEF encoding, MOQ 100. Shenzhen manufacturer since 2008

Прозрачная наклейка NFC на 13,56 МГц — in wet-inlay form — is a three-layer roll-fed component (transparent PET face, etched aluminium antenna with bonded NFC chip, pressure-sensitive wet adhesive on release liner) that laminators, label converters, and packaging integrators buy in bulk to convert into their own finished tags. This buyer’s guide walks you through the five decisions you need to make before placing an order for the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet-inlay format, plus the sourcing traps that cost first-time buyers time and money.

Choosing the Right 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker Wet Inlay: A Buyer’s Guide

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is written for three specific buyers of the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet-inlay format: (1) label-printing houses adding NFC to existing pressure-sensitive product lines, (2) packaging converters laminating NFC under a clear overprint or gloss film, and (3) systems integrators who die-cut, encode, and re-brand the inlay as their own finished NFC tag. If you are buying finished, pre-die-cut tags off the shelf, this is the wrong page — see our finished NFC sticker family instead. Wet inlay means the adhesive is already applied to the back of the inlay and covered by a silicone release liner, so you skip the “apply adhesive in-house” step and go straight to die-cut → encode → laminate.

Step 1: Identify Your Frequency and Protocol Requirement

The 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay operates at 13.56 MHz on the ISO/IEC 14443 Type A air interface, NFC Forum Type 2 (NTAG family) or Type 4 (DESFire family). This is the only frequency band that every consumer smartphone since 2013 can natively tap — no app required, no accessory reader. If your end product needs to be read by an unmodified iPhone or Android device, 13.56 MHz is your only option. If you need long-range asset tracking with a handheld gun (3–6 metres), you actually want a UHF 860–960 MHz inlay instead; we make those on the same Shenzhen production campus (five dedicated inlay-conversion lines, operating since 2008), but under a different SKU family.

Step 2: Determine Your Chip Protocol

Wet inlay for the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker is manufactured chip-agnostic — the antenna is impedance-tuned to the specific chip you specify at order time. The chip decides your user memory, security model, and per-piece cost. Common selections:

• NTAG213 — 144-byte user memory, cheapest NDEF-capable NXP option, ideal for URL-only smart posters, product authentication, and single-tap marketing campaigns. 90% of transparent-NFC volume ships on NTAG213.
• NTAG215 — 504-byte memory, room for a URL plus offline cached HTML fragment or short vCard. Amiibo-compatible if you are in the collectibles space.
• NTAG216 — 888-byte memory, needed for multi-record NDEF, larger vCards, or when you want to encode fallback content that works without network.
• NTAG213-TT / NTAG216-TT — same memory as NTAG213/216 plus a tamper-detection flag; peel or tear flips a permanent bit. Used by cosmetics and pharma brands for authenticity+tamper workflows.
• MIFARE Ultralight EV1 — cheapest secured option, 48–128 byte user memory with 3-DES authentication counter; used in single-use ticketing.
• MIFARE Classic 1K / DESFire EV2 — cryptographic authentication (Crypto-1 / AES-128); if your end product does access control or closed-loop payment, specify these at order time.

Fudan FM11RF08 (a MIFARE Classic 1K functional equivalent) is available as a cost-down alternative on volumes above 5,000 pcs. State-of-record: NXP Crypto-1 was academically broken by Karsten Nohl in 2008, so do not deploy Classic 1K in new high-security environments — use DESFire EV2 instead.

Step 3: Select the Physical Form Factor

The 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay ships as a continuous roll — you decide the geometry that gets die-cut downstream. Three variables matter:

• Antenna outline (die-cut boundary): round 22 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 mm; square 25 × 25 / 35 × 35 / 45 × 45 mm; rectangle 45 × 20 / 76 × 45 mm. Larger antenna = longer read distance. For smartphone tap use cases, 25 mm is the practical minimum; below that, tap reliability drops sharply on Android devices with off-centre NFC modules.
• PET substrate thickness: 50 μm (ultra-thin, for lamination under gloss film), 75 μm (default, best balance of stiffness and conformity), 125 μm (rigid, easier for manual handling and peel-and-stick applications).
• Roll geometry: 76 mm inner core, 300 mm max outer diameter, 3–5 mm gap between units, leader marker every 500 pieces, wound at consistent 2 N tension so automatic dispensers do not mis-align. If your production line runs a different core diameter, tell us at RFQ — we accommodate 40 / 76 / 100 mm cores.

Step 4: Decide on Customisation Level

Wet inlay is inherently a semi-finished component, so “customisation” here means production-parameter tuning, not artwork. The variables you can pin down at order time are:

• UID encoding: standard 7-byte NXP-assigned UID (globally unique, no action required) or client-supplied CSV UID mapping for closed-loop deployments.
• NDEF pre-encoding: URI, vCard, Wi-Fi handover, smart-poster, or raw hex — batch-programmed per client CSV before shipment, verification CSV returned. 1–2 days added to lead time.
• Antenna metallisation: default etched aluminium 45–75 μm trace; upgrade to copper etched (+12% read range, +25% unit cost) on request.
• Adhesive class: 3M 300LSE (default, general-purpose high-tack), acrylic 9448A (economy), removable adhesive, or silicone adhesive for low-surface-energy plastics. If your end product will be applied to PP, PE, or PTFE surfaces, do not accept the default — specify LSE-rated adhesive.
• Liner colour and printing: standard white or transparent silicone-coated PET liner. Some laminators want a printed liner (batch code, lot number) for traceability on their own production floor; this is available at +5% cost on volumes above 10,000 pcs.

Step 5: Set MOQ, Lead Time, and Budget Expectations

MOQ for the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay is 100 pcs on standard SKUs (NTAG213 default configuration), 500 pcs on custom chip or non-standard antenna geometry, and 1,000 pcs when a new die-cut mould has to be tooled. Lead time is 7–14 business days for standard SKUs, +7–10 days for custom NDEF encoding, and +25–35 days for new mould tooling. Chinese New Year (late January through February) adds 30–40 additional days to any order landing in that window — build this into your Q1 procurement calendar. Free 10-piece verification kits ship in 5–7 business days to any verified company address worldwide via DHL/FedEx, allowing your engineering team to prove the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker inlay reads correctly through your specific overprint, laminate, or packaging substrate before you commit to volume.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Not specifying substrate before ordering. The 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker reads differently through 2 mm acrylic than through 300 gsm paper or 200 μm gloss laminate. If you do not send us a substrate sample or specify the material stack, you will get the default 75 μm PET / aluminium etched / 3M 300LSE configuration, which is not optimal for every application.
2. Ordering the wrong antenna size for smartphone tap use. A 22 mm round antenna works fine against an ISO 14443 desktop reader but is unreliable against modern smartphone NFC modules, whose antenna centres vary by 10 mm or more between models. For consumer-tap deployments always order 30 mm or larger.
3. Assuming “transparent” means invisible on every surface. On frosted glass and light-coloured packaging the etched aluminium antenna truly disappears. On dark opaque surfaces or mirror-finish stainless steel it becomes visible; for those cases order our anti-metal FPC variant instead. Also note: aluminium antenna on a completely clear liquid-filled glass bottle (perfume, spirit) will detune below 20 mm read distance — do a lab test before committing volume.
4. Skipping the tamper-detection option, then wishing you had it. If your end product is a premium package where refill fraud is a business risk, specify NTAG213-TT or NTAG216-TT at order time. Retrofitting tamper flag after production means re-tooling — you cannot “add tamper” to a standard NTAG213 inlay after the fact.
5. Underestimating Chinese New Year lead-time impact. A February rollout planned in late December will not ship on time from any Chinese inlay factory. Place CNY-affected orders in October–November of the prior year, or shift the rollout into March.

Our 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker Wet Inlay — How It Fits This Framework

Our 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker is manufactured in a 5,000 m² dust-free Shenzhen workshop with 200+ skilled workers across five dedicated production lines, one of which is fully allocated to HF wet-inlay conversion. Every cavity gets a 100% electrical test (chip alive + antenna within impedance tolerance) before the roll ships — cavity-level 100% test is our default, not an upgrade. Batch traceability: every roll ships with a CSV mapping unit position → UID → NDEF payload, so your production floor can cross-check post-die-cut. HS Code 8523.52 for smooth customs clearance in every major market. Certifications: ISO 9001:2015 at factory level, RoHS 2011/65/EU, REACH SVHC — all applicable to the electronic components in the inlay. We do not claim FCC certification (13.56 MHz is not subject to Part 15 intentional-radiator rules) or “NFC Forum Certified” (that certification requires paid Forum membership); anyone claiming NFC Forum certification without disclosing membership status is misleading you.

Manufacturing & Quality — Why Every Cavity Gets Tested

The 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay is produced on a vertically integrated line: PET film in, etched aluminium antenna, chip flip-chip bonded, wet acrylic adhesive laminated to release liner, slit to width, wound to spec. Every cavity is electrically tested before the roll leaves the line — we do not ship rolls with dead-chip percentages above 0.3%. Standard rejection ceiling on QC audit is 0.5%; the 62,000-piece deployment referenced in our case study delivered at 0.3% reject rate, inside the customer’s contractual tolerance. Pantone matching for face-side print (if you ordered printed PET) is verified on a Konica Minolta spectrophotometer to ΔE ≤ 2.0. Batch-traceable CSV mapping ships with every roll: unit position → UID → NDEF payload, so your production floor can cross-check after die-cut and encoding.

One-Stop Sourcing Across the HF Component Family

Buyers of the 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay frequently source adjacent HF components from the same Shenzhen production campus — 13.56 MHz RFID smart-card inlay for PVC card converters, and 13.56 MHz RFID inlay tag for pre-die-cut converted-tag orders. One purchase order, one production campus, one HS code (8523.52), one shipment. This matters for label converters and packaging integrators whose finished-product SKU list spans multiple form factors of the same NFC chip family.

ЧАСТО ЗАДАВАЕМЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ

Q1: Is a wet inlay the same as a finished NFC sticker?

No. Wet inlay is a semi-finished component in continuous roll format — you die-cut, encode, and re-brand it in-house. A finished NFC sticker has already been die-cut to final geometry, individually encoded, and packaged for end-user application. The 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay is the material converters buy to make their own finished stickers under their own brand.

Q2: What is the difference between wet inlay and dry inlay?

Wet inlay has adhesive already applied to the back of the inlay, covered by a silicone release liner — you peel and stick. Dry inlay has no adhesive; you apply adhesive in-house or laminate the inlay between other layers (a common approach for PVC card manufacturing). If your production line does not have adhesive-application equipment, order wet inlay. We supply both formats on the same chip and antenna options.

Q3: Can we order 100 pcs to test before committing to volume?

Yes. MOQ on the standard 13.56MHz Transparent NFC Sticker wet inlay (NTAG213, 25 mm round, 75 μm PET, 3M 300LSE, no NDEF encoding) is 100 pcs. Free 10-piece verification kits with three antenna sizes (25 / 35 / 45 mm) ship in 5–7 business days if you want to test read reliability against your specific substrate before ordering.

Q4: What payment terms do you accept?

T/T 30% deposit + 70% before shipment is the default for volume orders. Alibaba Trade Assurance is available for orders placed through our Alibaba store. PayPal is accepted up to $5,000 order value. Western Union and MoneyGram are accepted for sample-only payments. Shipping incoterms: EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, CIF, or DDP — quoted per destination country at RFQ.

Q5: Do you supply the antenna in copper instead of aluminium?

Yes, on request. Copper etched antenna adds 12% typical read distance and 25% to the per-piece cost. Copper is the right choice when the finished product will be applied under laminate or in signal-poor environments (e.g., adjacent to metallic packaging elements). MOQ for copper option is 500 pcs.
