Ntag216 chip NFC card is equipped with the Ntag216 chip, powerful and convenient. 

Among the Ntag21Xseries, the Ntag216 chip has the largest capacity. 

There are 888 bytes of user-programmable read/write memory. 

Why Choose an NTAG216 NFC Card?

The main advantage of the NTAG216 is its larger user memory compared with other members of the NTAG21x family. With 888 bytes of user memory, it can accommodate larger NDEF records and more information than NTAG213 or NTAG215.

For many NFC projects, however, memory capacity is only one consideration. The best chip depends on the amount of data that needs to be stored, the application, card cost, and whether the card will be used as a simple NFC link or as part of a more advanced system.

NTAG216 is particularly suitable when you want more memory while retaining a widely supported NFC Type 2 Tag platform.

NTAG213 vs. NTAG215 vs. NTAG216

NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 belong to the same NXP NTAG21x family. Their main difference is the amount of freely available user memory.

According to NXP, the NTAG21x family provides 144, 504, or 888 bytes of freely available user read/write memory for NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 respectively.

Choosing NTAG216 does not automatically mean that every application needs the additional memory. If your application only stores a short URL, a smaller chip may be sufficient. NTAG216 becomes more useful when the project requires additional NDEF information or greater data capacity.

888 Bytes of User Memory

The 888-byte user memory is one of the key specifications of the NTAG216 NFC card.

This memory can be used for supported NFC/NDEF data such as URLs, contact information, text records, application information, and other supported records. For applications such as digital business cards, a URL-based design is often more practical than storing an entire profile directly on the card.

For example:

NFC card → URL → Digital profile

The NFC card can point to an online business card, product page, landing page, menu, catalog, or other web content. The physical card does not need to be replaced when the online information changes.

For projects that need to store more information directly in the NFC tag, the larger NTAG216 memory provides additional capacity compared with NTAG213 and NTAG215.

NFC PVC Card for Digital Business Cards

An NTAG216 business card can combine the appearance of a professional printed card with contactless digital information.

A customer can tap the card with a compatible NFC-enabled smartphone or reader to access a digital profile, website, contact details, or other supported content.

Typical information can include:

• Name and job title
• Company information
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Website
• Social media profiles
• Digital contact card
• Product or service information
• Appointment or contact links

A URL-based NFC business card is particularly useful when the information needs to be updated regularly. Instead of rewriting every physical card, the destination page can be updated while the NFC card continues to use the same URL.

NFC Card for Product Information and Smart Packaging

NTAG216 PVC cards can also be used as physical-to-digital links for products and marketing materials.

A card can direct users to a product page, instruction page, warranty registration page, promotional campaign, or other online resource.

Potential applications include:

NXP identifies product authentication, smart advertising, NFC shelf labels, mobile companion tags, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing, and business cards among the target applications for the NTAG21x family.

NFC Business Card and URL Applications

For many business-card projects, the NFC card does not need to contain a complete customer profile. Instead, the tag can store a URL.

For example:

Tap NFC card → Open digital business card → Save contact

This approach can reduce the amount of information stored directly on the NFC chip and makes it easier to update customer information.

It is also useful for companies producing cards for multiple employees, sales teams, events, exhibitions, and customer-facing staff.

The printed card can remain unchanged while the linked online content is updated whenever necessary.

NFC Card Security Features

The NTAG216 chip includes several built-in functions designed to help manage data access and tag identification.

NXP specifies a 7-byte unique identifier, a one-time programmable capability container, field-programmable read-only locking functions, ECC-based originality signature support, and configurable 32-bit password protection.

These features can help protect against unintended memory changes and support tag identification. However, an NTAG216 should not automatically be treated as a high-security authentication device. Security requirements should be evaluated according to the complete application architecture.

NFC Communication and Compatibility

NTAG216 operates at 13.56 MHz and supports NFC Forum Type 2 Tag and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A communication. NXP specifies a data transfer rate of 106 kbit/s and an operating distance of up to 100 mm under specified conditions, with the actual performance depending on factors such as antenna geometry and RF field strength.

The actual reading distance of a finished PVC card can vary. Smartphone model, reader antenna, card antenna design, reader power, orientation, and surrounding materials can all affect NFC performance.

For this reason, NFC performance should be validated with production-intent samples before a large production order.

Custom NTAG216 PVC Card Options

The standard product is a blank white PVC NFC card, but the card can be customized for different branding and identification requirements.

Material Options

PVC is the standard material listed for this product. Other materials, including ABS, PET, and PETG, may also be available depending on the project requirements.

Material selection should be based on the required flexibility, appearance, environmental conditions, printing requirements, and production process.

Printing and Finishing

Available customization options include:

• Offset printing
• Silk-screen printing
• Digital printing
• Thermal printing
• Laser engraving
• Embossing
• DOD printing
• Barcode printing
• Variable numbering
• Signature panels
• Scratch-off panels

A glossy surface is the standard configuration, while matte and frosted surfaces can be requested for specific projects.

Custom NFC Card Printing

Custom printing allows the NTAG216 NFC card to function as both a physical identification card and a digital NFC interface.

Common printed elements include:

• Company logo
• Brand colors
• Product graphics
• QR code
• NFC icon
• Contact information
• Serial number
• Barcode
• Variable ID
• Marketing information

For cards containing both an NFC function and a QR code, users have two ways to access the digital content. NFC provides contactless access, while the QR code provides a visual alternative for devices or users that do not use NFC.

Variable UID and Card Numbering

For projects requiring individual card identification, additional numbering and personalization services may be available.

Depending on the production requirement, numbering can be applied using methods such as laser engraving, thermal printing, digital printing, DOD printing, or embossing.

For large projects, customers can request a mapping between the physical card number and the corresponding NFC chip or programmed data. The exact encoding and data-management process should be confirmed before production.

Typical NTAG216 NFC Card Applications

NTAG216 can be used in a wide range of NFC projects.

NXP lists business cards, smart advertising, product authentication, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing, electronic shelf labels, and mobile companion tags as application areas for NTAG21x devices.
