A printed on-metal NFC sticker with a paper or plastic face and a range of shapes and sizes with an NTAG213 NFC chip. Printing can include logos, letters, numbers and barcodes in CMYK and black color with a glossy or matte finish and a choice of ferrite layer thickness and adhesive type. The chip and antenna are face up under a surface layer of plastic for resistance to brief exposure to water. The ferrite layer on the back side is required for the NFC sticker to function on metal, electronic or magnetic surfaces.
