Small checks before assuming there is a problem.
In brief
Enabling NFC on your phone
To enable NFC reading, check in your smartphone's settings that the function is switched on: the steps vary depending on the device.
On many phones the option is found among the connection settings. We design NFC cards in Cantù, in the province of Como, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, always with the QR code as an alternative.
Useful checks
If reading does not start
- Check that NFC is on
- Unlock the phone screen
- Hold the phone close to the card calmly
- Alternatively, scan the QR code
The QR code is always a ready alternative.
Even if NFC is off or not available, the same page opens with the camera. If you want to work on the card's design, start from your visual identity.
In general, the NFC chip in a card needs neither a battery nor charging: it activates when the phone comes close. The precise characteristics are assessed during the project phase with our team in Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
If your smartphone does not read the NFC chip, check that the function is on and the screen is unlocked, then try again calmly or scan the QR code. If the problem persists, our team in Cantù will help you, including for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
The NFC reading distance is very short: the phone has to be held close to the card. Behaviour depends on the model and on the card, so we do not promise any values; the QR code is the alternative. We discuss it in Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
It makes sense to combine NFC and QR code because they cover different situations: the quick gesture at in-person meetings and camera scanning when the contact comes from a screen or a sheet of paper. The profile stays the same and is updated without reprinting, including for companies in Como, Milan and Lugano.
After reading, the profile page opens for the person, hosted on the company's domain: just hold your smartphone close or scan the QR code, with no app to install. For companies in Como and Brianza, whoever reads the card finds who you are, how to contact you and where to find out more.
