Near Field Communication (NFC) tags are small but powerful tools that help businesses connect the physical world with the digital one. With a simple tap of a smartphone, NFC tags can open websites, share contact details, trigger actions, or automate tasks.
At WAT 3D Printing Services, we don’t just sell NFC tags — we design, 3D print, customise, brand, and configure them for your company, all in one place.

What Is an NFC Tag?
An NFC tag is a tiny chip with an antenna that stores information. When a compatible smartphone is placed close to it, the phone instantly reads the data and performs an action — no batteries, no pairing, no apps required for basic use.
Common uses include:
- Opening a website or landing page
- Sharing digital business cards
- Linking to Google Reviews
- Product authentication
- Smart automation (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, smart home)
- Event check‑ins and access control
How Businesses Use NFC Tags
NFC tags are extremely flexible. Here are some popular business use cases:
- Marketing & Branding – Tap to open your website, portfolio, or social media
- Retail & Packaging – Product information, manuals, or authenticity checks
- Hospitality – Menus, Wi‑Fi access, and feedback links
- Offices & Teams – Smart desk automation or digital ID cards
- Events – Contactless information sharing and registrations
With custom 3D‑printed housings and your logo added, NFC tags become a professional branded product — not just a chip.
