## Summary
- A procurement guide to metal NFC business cards for enterprises — the card a prospect weighs in their hand instead of pocketing.

- What to confirm: Confirm target application, compatibility requirements, customization needs, quantity, and sample expectations before quoting Metal NFC Cards: Premium Business Networking.

## FAQ
- Q: Will metal NFC cards set off metal detectors or cause issues at airports?
  A: No. A single CR80-size metal card does not contain enough metal mass to trigger walk-through or handheld metal detectors. Cards pass through X-ray screening without issue.
- Q: Can I use a metal NFC card with a phone case on?
  A: Yes, most standard phone cases (silicone, plastic, leather) do not block NFC signals. Very thick rugged cases or cases with built-in metal plates or magnetic mounts may reduce read range. Test with the specific case before deployment.
- Q: How do I update my contact details on a metal NFC card?
  A: The NFC chip stores a URL, not the contact details directly. Update your information on the linked digital profile page and all future taps will display the new details without touching the physical card.
- Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom metal NFC cards?
  A: Most suppliers offer MOQs of 50-200 cards for metal NFC cards. Stainless steel and aluminum have lower minimums (50-100), while titanium and carbon fiber typically start at 100-200 due to material sourcing and tooling costs.
- Q: Do metal NFC cards work with both iPhone and Android?
  A: Yes. Metal NFC cards use standard NTAG213 or NTAG215 chips that are compatible with all NFC-enabled iPhones (XS and later) and Android devices. The ferrite shielding ensures consistent read performance across both platforms.
- Q: Should we pick a SaaS platform like Mobilo or build our own profile pages?
  A: For teams under 25 people or where lead capture into a CRM matters, SaaS (Mobilo, V1CE, Popl) is faster and gets you analytics out of the box. For 100+ seat enterprises or anyone who wants zero per-seat fees and full data ownership, white-label cards pointing to your own subdomain (card.yourcompany.com) deliver lower TCO over a 3-year horizon. The Linq pivot in February 2026 is a reminder to check vendor longevity and exit clauses before committing.
- Q: Why does my metal NFC card sometimes need a second tap on certain iPhones?
  A: iPhone NFC antennas are at the very top edge of the device. Metal cards with a tight antenna window or thicker ferrite layer can require precise alignment with that antenna location. Two fixes: (1) specify a slightly larger antenna cutout window in production (the 'no-print zone'), and (2) train recipients to tap the top of the iPhone's back cover, not the middle. Aluminum and carbon fiber cards almost never have this issue; stainless steel and brass occasionally do.
