Product Overview

The Customizable Diameter 10mm FPC NFC Tag is a compact, high-temperature-resistant RFID inlay engineered specifically for embedded applications such as pharmaceutical bottle caps, cosmetic containers, and industrial small-part identification. Manufactured by DO RFID Reader, this tag combines a flexible printed circuit substrate with a durable NTAG213 chip to deliver reliable near-field communication in environments where space is limited and thermal exposure is unavoidable. System integrators and project contractors select this tag when they require a miniature NFC solution that can withstand injection molding processes and maintain data integrity during sterilization or hot-fill production lines.

Product Advantages

• Miniature footprint for space-constrained integration: At just 10mm in diameter and 0.05-0.07mm thickness, the tag fits inside bottle caps, small enclosures, and thin-walled containers without altering product dimensions or mechanical performance.
• High-temperature tolerance for industrial molding: The FPC construction supports 200°C for up to 2 hours and withstands 260°C for 10-30 seconds, making it suitable for injection molding, overmolding, and heat-staking processes commonly used in pharmaceutical and food packaging production.
• Reliable read performance in close-proximity applications: With a read distance of approximately 10mm, the tag is optimized for cap-to-reader contact or near-contact scenarios typical in authentication, tamper-evidence verification, and consumer engagement use cases.
• Standard NFC compatibility across mobile devices: Compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A and using the NTAG213 chip, the tag works with all NFC-enabled smartphones and commercial readers without proprietary protocols or middleware requirements.
• Certified material compliance for regulated industries: ROHS, REACH, and CE certifications ensure the tag meets environmental and safety standards required by pharmaceutical, food, and medical device manufacturers.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

Distributors, wholesalers, and project integrators source this tag for deployment across multiple commercial and industrial sectors where miniature size and thermal resilience are critical procurement criteria.

• Pharmaceutical bottle cap authentication: Pharmaceutical manufacturers embed this tag inside bottle caps to enable NFC-based anti-counterfeiting verification, batch tracking, and patient engagement via mobile smartphones. The high-temperature rating allows the tag to survive the injection molding process used to produce tamper-evident closures.
• Cosmetic and personal care packaging: Cosmetic brands use the tag inside cream jars, lip balm tubes, and dispenser caps for product authentication, loyalty program integration, and usage instruction delivery through NFC tap interactions.
• Social and smart advertisement NFC: Marketing agencies deploy the tag in printed materials, promotional items, and point-of-sale displays where a small, unobtrusive NFC inlay is needed to trigger digital content, social media links, or coupon redemption on consumer smartphones.
• Product authentication and brand protection: Brand owners integrate the ECC-based originality signature into their supply chain to verify product authenticity at distribution centers and retail points, reducing the risk of counterfeit entry.
• Mobile companion tags: Electronics manufacturers and IoT solution providers use the tag as a pairing companion for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices, allowing users to tap their phone to initiate wireless configuration without navigating device menus.
• Electronic shelf labels and business cards: Retailers and corporate clients adopt the tag for electronic shelf label systems and smart business cards where a thin, flexible, and durable NFC inlay is required for frequent read-write cycles.

OEM / ODM Manufacturing Support

DO RFID Reader offers comprehensive OEM and ODM customization for the 10mm FPC NFC tag, enabling distributors and system integrators to adapt the product to specific project requirements without compromising production stability or lead time. Customization options include chip programming with unique NDEF content, UID pre-locking for anti-counterfeiting schemes, custom antenna tuning for varied substrate materials, and tailored packaging formats such as reel, sheet, or carrier tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. OEM customers receive dedicated engineering support during the design validation phase, ensuring the tag’s electrical performance matches the target read range and environmental conditions before mass production begins. This manufacturing flexibility allows project contractors to deploy the tag across multiple client applications with consistent batch-to-batch quality and specification compliance.

Factory Production Advantages

As a dedicated RFID tag manufacturer, DO RFID Reader operates with stable production capacity capable of supporting long-term wholesale cooperation, large-scale project deployments, and recurring supply agreements. The factory maintains controlled inventory of NTAG213 wafers and FPC substrate materials to reduce procurement lead times and buffer against supply chain fluctuations. Each production batch undergoes functional read-write verification, dimensional inspection, and adhesion testing before shipment, ensuring that every tag delivered meets the stated technical parameters. For buyers managing multi-site rollouts or phased deployments, the factory can coordinate split shipments and maintain batch consistency across partial deliveries. This production reliability is the primary reason procurement managers and supply chain directors choose to establish direct supplier relationships with DO RFID Reader for their NFC tag requirements.
