FAQs

Do I still need a QR code if I have NFC? Yes. QR is a great backup for older devices, distance scanning, and behind-glass displays.
Which finish is most durable? Matte PVC with scratch-resistant coating usually outlasts glossy at events.
Can I print cards myself? Yes for QR cards; for NFC, buy pre-embedded blanks and then program the chip.
