  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "Are wooden NFC cards as durable as PVC cards?",
      "answer": "Wooden NFC cards are surprisingly durable for daily use. The laminated construction resists bending and snapping. However, they are more susceptible to moisture damage if submerged and can show surface scratches more visibly than PVC. A clear protective coating extends surface life significantly."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can wooden NFC cards be customized with individual names?",
      "answer": "Yes. Laser engraving supports variable data, so each card can have a unique name, title or QR code engraved during production. Variable engraving is efficient down to single-unit runs, making it ideal for executive card programs."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do wooden NFC cards comply with ISO CR80 card dimensions?",
      "answer": "Yes. Standard wooden NFC cards are manufactured to ISO/IEC 7810 CR80 dimensions (85.6 x 54 mm) with a thickness of 0.76-0.84 mm. This ensures compatibility with standard card wallets, badge holders and card slots."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the minimum order quantity for wooden NFC cards?",
      "answer": "Most suppliers offer MOQs of 50-100 cards for wooden NFC cards with standard laser engraving. Full-color printed wooden cards may have higher minimums of 200-500 due to print setup costs. Custom wood species selections may require 100+ units."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should we pick TAPiTAG / V1CE bamboo cards or a white-label custom wood card?",
      "answer": "For 1-25 cards (solo professionals, small founder teams), TAPiTAG and V1CE win on time-to-value — single-card MOQ, in-house design, ready in 5-10 business days. For 100+ cards (sales teams, full enterprises), white-label custom wood from a manufacturer pointing to your own subdomain delivers 50-70% lower TCO over 3 years, full data ownership, no per-seat platform fees, and no vendor sunset risk (a real concern after Linq's pivot to AI in February 2026)."
    },
    {
      "question": "Will wooden cards survive 12 months in a leather wallet?",
      "answer": "Yes, with caveats. The PET-core construction (wood veneer / PET inlay / wood veneer sandwich) resists bending well — better than solid wood. Daily wallet use shows surface scuff after 6-9 months, especially on lighter species like maple and bamboo. A clear UV-protective topcoat extends visible-finish life to 18-24 months. The NFC chip itself outlasts the cosmetic wear by years (10+ year data retention rated by NXP). For client-facing executives who refresh cards every 12-18 months due to title changes, wood durability is more than sufficient. For 5-year service-life expectations, recommend metal or PVC instead."
