10mm FPC NFC Tags for Embedded Smart Applications

In the fast-evolving world of smart packaging, wearables, and connected devices, size matters—but so does performance. That’s why 10mm FPC NFC tags have become one of the most practical choices for designers and engineers looking to embed NFC in small or curved spaces.

Built with flexible printed circuits, these ultra-thin tags combine durability, signal strength, and versatility, making them ideal for a wide range of industries.

Why Choose 10mm Instead of 5mm or 6mm?

Many clients asks: “Why not use a smaller 5mm or 6mm tag?”

The answer is simple: real-world performance.

Smaller tags = smaller antenna = weaker signal.

10mm hits the sweet spot—small enough for tight spaces, but large enough for stable NFC scans with mobile phones.

In actual use, 5mm/6mm tags often suffer from shorter reading range, slower response, and require very precise positioning to work—especially frustrating in consumer-facing applications.

With 10mm FPC tags, scan success rate improves noticeably, which means fewer user complaints and smoother digital experiences.

Top Embedded Smart Applications

1. Smart Jewelry and Accessories

Jewelry designers embed 10mm FPC tags into rings, pendants, bracelets, or watches. With just a tap, customers can verify authenticity, access product info, or trigger marketing campaigns.

Example: A necklace with an NFC tag linking to a personalized message or product video.

2. Smart Toys and Collectibles

Compact NFC tags are perfect for embedding inside figurines, blind-box toys, or trading cards, turning them into interactive digital experiences.

Example: Tap the toy with a phone to unlock a character in a mobile game.

3. Medical and Health Devices

10mm FPC tags can be used in non-metal medical tools or health tracking devices to help with patient identification, usage tracking, or device pairing.

Example: An NFC-enabled inhaler that stores usage data or links to a treatment reminder.

4. Clothing Labels and Patches

Their flexibility allows them to be sewn into logos, patches, or brand tags—especially for uniforms, high-end fashion, or sports gear.

Example: A sports shirt with an NFC logo that links to care instructions or a team page.

5. Phone Case and Accessory Brands

10mm FPC tags can be inserted into silicone or plastic phone cases to create programmable “smart triggers”—open an app, change settings, or launch a web page with a tap.

Example: Tap your case to open your business card or link to your Instagram.

6. Packaging for Small Luxury Items

For small-batch perfume, lipstick, or watch boxes, these tiny NFC tags can add both anti-counterfeit protection and interactive storytelling.

Example: A perfume sample with a tag linking to its origin story and QR-based reorder option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I encode my own data into the tags?
Yes. We support pre-encoding, serial numbering, URL linking, encryption, and more.

Q: Can it be printed with logos or text?
While most 10mm FPC tags are internal-use only, we can laser letters and digits when producing them. If a colorful logo is required, we need to use a colorful paper to cover on it.

Q: Does it work on metal?
No. You will need an on-metal version or a special isolation layer.

Q: Is it water-resistant?
Yes. When laminated or inserted into sealed surfaces, it performs well under humid or splash conditions.

Q: Can I get samples for testing?
Absolutely. We offer free samples for compatibility tests.
