## FAQ
- Q: How much of a full vCard can NTAG216 store?
  A: NTAG216 provides 872 bytes of NDEF capacity (after the 16-byte NDEF capability header). A typical full vCard 3.0 with name, title, company, mobile, landline, email, physical address, website URL and LinkedIn URL occupies 350-500 bytes, leaving 370-520 bytes of headroom. Extended vCards with multiple phone numbers, multiple email addresses, a photo URL and a note field typically require 600-800 bytes, still within NTAG216's capacity.
- Q: What is the difference between NTAG216 and NTAG 424 DNA?
  A: NTAG216 is a high-memory NFC data storage tag with basic 32-bit password protection. NTAG 424 DNA adds AES-128 cryptographic authentication, Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM), and tamper-evident features — making it suitable for anti-counterfeiting, access control and authenticated data delivery. NTAG216 is appropriate when you need large memory but not cryptographic security; use NTAG 424 DNA when the tag must prove its authenticity.
- Q: Can NTAG216 be used for NFC business cards?
  A: Yes, NTAG216 is the recommended chip for NFC business cards because it has sufficient memory for a complete vCard 3.0 / 4.0 (RFC 6350) without truncation. The sticker can be affixed to a printed paper or plastic business card, or used standalone as a thin NFC card. We offer full-colour printed NFC business cards with NTAG216 chips pre-encoded with your vCard data.
- Q: Does NTAG216 require any special reader hardware?
  A: No. NTAG216 is NFC Forum Type 2 compliant and reads on any NFC-enabled smartphone including iPhone 7 and later (iOS 14+) and any Android phone with NFC. No app is required to read standard NDEF records. For specialised applications (password authentication, counter reading), a compatible NFC reader app or SDK is needed.
- Q: Is NTAG216 suitable for outdoor use?
  A: The NTAG216 chip operates from −25 °C to +70 °C and is inherently weatherproof. The sticker's outdoor suitability depends on the face stock and adhesive: standard white PET is suitable for indoor use only. For outdoor applications, specify an epoxy dome overlay or UV-protective laminate, and an enhanced adhesive formulation for the target surface material.
