What Is a 17mm NTAG213 NFC Sticker?
A 17mm NTAG213 NFC sticker is a compact adhesive label containing an NFC chip and antenna. It communicates with compatible NFC-enabled devices at 13.56 MHz, allowing users to access stored information by bringing a smartphone or reader close to the sticker.
The NTAG213 chip provides 144 bytes of user memory, which is suitable for short URLs, identification numbers, contact details, and other compact data records. For applications requiring larger data capacity, we can also supply alternative NFC chip options.
Unlike printed QR codes, NFC stickers allow users to initiate an interaction by tapping a compatible device against the label. Both technologies can be used together to provide convenient access across different devices and user preferences.
Key Advantages of Our 17mm NFC Stickers

The 17mm format is suitable for small packages, cosmetic containers, electronic accessories, promotional items, and other products where label space is limited. Its compact footprint helps maintain a clean product appearance while adding digital functionality.
Convenient Contactless Data Access
Users can tap a compatible smartphone or NFC reader to access supported information stored on the sticker. This makes NFC technology useful for product instructions, digital catalogs, registration pages, and interactive brand experiences.
Flexible Printing and Encoding
We offer customization options for printed graphics, product identifiers, URLs, and other supported data records. Our team can help configure the label to match your packaging design, identification system, or marketing campaign.
Adhesive Options for Different Applications
Different products require different bonding properties. We can discuss suitable adhesive and label material combinations for paper packaging, plastic surfaces, glass containers, and other common substrates.
Suitable for Scalable Projects
From initial product testing to repeat bulk orders, we support businesses that need consistent NFC label specifications across different production batches. Custom printing and encoding can also help simplify deployment.
NTAG213 vs. NTAG215 vs. NTAG216
Choosing the right NFC chip depends on the amount of data you need to store and the intended application. NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 share a similar 13.56 MHz NFC operating frequency but provide different user memory capacities.
| Feature | NTAG213 | NTAG215 | NTAG216 |
|---|---|---|---|
| User Memory | 144 bytes | 504 bytes | 888 bytes |
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz | 13.56 MHz | 13.56 MHz |
| Typical Use | URLs and short records | Larger data records and application-specific uses | Longer records and more data-intensive uses |
| Compact NFC Label Options | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Product Identification | Suitable | Suitable | Suitable |
| Digital Marketing | Suitable | Suitable | Suitable |
| Best Selection Criterion | Basic data needs | Medium data needs | Higher data capacity |
All three chips can support many common NFC identification workflows. The appropriate option depends on the amount of information stored, the required chip features, and your system’s compatibility requirements.
For most simple product links and identification tasks, NTAG213 is a practical starting point. If your application requires more user memory, NTAG215 or NTAG216 may be a better choice.

Standard NFC sticker antennas can be affected by nearby metal. For metal surfaces, we recommend evaluating a dedicated on-metal NFC label rather than assuming a standard 17mm sticker will perform in the same way.
For applications involving moisture, temperature changes, or frequent handling, we can discuss suitable materials and adhesive configurations.
How to Encode a 17mm NTAG213 NFC Sticker
Encoding an NFC sticker allows you to configure the information that compatible devices read when they interact with the tag.
A typical encoding workflow includes the following steps:
- Define the data: Choose a URL, product identifier, short text, or supported NDEF record.
- Prepare the encoding device: Use a compatible NFC smartphone or dedicated NFC writer.
- Write the information: Encode the required data onto the NTAG213 sticker using suitable software.
- Test compatibility: Read the tag with the intended smartphones or readers.
