Why Choose NFCKEY
Built different. Printed sharper.
Not a reseller. Not a print shop. We manufacture every NFCKEY in-house, from chip integration to the finished keychain, which means better quality, faster customization, and more flexibility for your order.
Full-Cycle Manufacturing
We own the entire process. Chip embedding, antenna fabrication, printing and QC. Nothing outsourced. Tighter tolerances, faster turnaround, complete accountability.
HP Indigo Digital Press
Industry benchmark for high-resolution color printing. Our press connects directly to our design editor. Your file goes straight to production, automated and error-free.
CMYK + Pantone Conversion
We print in CMYK for consistent, accurate color across every run. You can send us your Pantone codes and we will convert them to the closest achievable CMYK match before production.
Variable & Serialized Printing
Each keychain can carry unique content: serial numbers, UIDs, barcodes, names. Our ePerso platform links each keychain's printed design with its chip data for full traceability.
Two Chip Platforms
NXP® and STMicroelectronics chip technology, covering everything from everyday NFC interactions to high-security access systems. Pick your chip and start designing.
Built to Last

FAQ
Common questions
What is the minimum order for a custom NFC keychain? +
Custom printed NFC keychains start at 50 pieces. If you want to test the product first, our ready-made designs are available from 10 pieces.
How much does a custom order cost? +
Price depends on the chip you choose. See the pricing table above for exact per-unit prices, or contact us for a quotation on larger volumes.
How long does production take? +
From order confirmation through production and dispatch, starting from about 2 weeks.
Which chip types are available for custom orders? +
Every chip in our range, across both NXP® and STMicroelectronics platforms. See the Chip Types We Offer page for the full list and specifications.
Do the chips arrive programmed? +
Chips ship blank by default, ready for you to encode with your own tools. Pre-encoding to your dataset is available on request and quoted separately.
Can each keychain have a unique serial number or design? +
Yes. Variable and serialized printing let each keychain carry unique content, such as serial numbers, UIDs, barcodes or names. You can add your variable data inside the Design Editor.
Will these work with our existing NFC readers? +
NFCKEY is compatible at the hardware level with existing NFC readers, and the chip you choose determines system compatibility. Ask your system integrators for the specific chip type you are using, or check it through mobile apps.
Is my design saved if I use Quick Design? +
No. Quick Design keeps nothing after you close the page, so download your ZIP before leaving. If you'd rather have your designs saved to an account you can return to, use Designer Studio instead.
I already have a designer. Do I have to use your editor? +
No. Download our template, design offline in your own software, and upload the finished file when it's ready. See "Working with a designer?" above.
I have complex requirements, variable data or special encoding. Can you help? +
Yes. Contact our team and we will advise on the best approach for your project.
