    {
      "question": "Can the QR code and NFC chip contain different data?",
      "answer": "Yes — NFC chip and QR code are independent data carriers. The default encoding workflow puts the same UID on both rails (resolved to the same attendee record on the back-end), but each rail can carry distinct payloads: NFC dynamic NDEF (member-tier URL, sponsor activation drop, post-event highlight reel) + QR static URL (event landing page, sponsor microsite, multi-language locale parameter). Proud Tek's encoding service configures both rails to specification and delivers a UID-to-QR mapping CSV / JSON for ticketing-platform ingest."
    },
    {
      "question": "Are QR codes on silicone wristbands durable enough for multi-day events?",
      "answer": "Yes — laser engraving and UV-cured printing are both engineered for multi-day outdoor wear. Laser-engraved QR is the most durable option (physically cut into the silicone surface, cannot wear off); UV-cured QR provides full-colour print contrast for brand-aligned designs where pure black engraving is not the right fit. Both survive water, sweat, sunscreen, and abrasion across multi-day festival exposure. Standard error-correction level Q (~25% recovery) handles partial smudge / damage at the gate."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the minimum order quantity for dual-technology wristbands?",
      "answer": "MOQ varies by substrate: silicone 500, fabric 500, Tyvek 1,000, PVC 500. Standard custom-print lead times are 10-21 business days from artwork approval depending on substrate. Custom branding, Pantone colour matching, and NFC + QR encoding are included in the quote. Sample run before bulk commit at no extra charge. Bulk pricing tiers at 5,000 / 10,000 / 50,000+ quantities."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is MIFARE DESFire EV2 / EV3 available for the NFC side of the wristband?",
      "answer": "Yes — DESFire EV2 / EV3 (AES-128 + per-card key diversification per NXP AN10922 + EV3 Secure Dynamic Messaging) is the default recommendation for cashless-payment deployments and multi-site-chain access-control programmes. MIFARE Classic 1K is available for legacy reader-base compatibility but the CRYPTO-1 caveat applies — Proud Tek recommends MIFARE Plus EV2 (SL3) or DESFire EV2 / EV3 as the upgrade path for new deployments with material balances."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can you ship with the NFC UID pre-linked to our ticketing database?",
      "answer": "Yes — UID-to-QR mapping CSV / JSON ships with every bulk order. The ticketing / cashless platform imports the manifest to pre-link every band to the attendee record before the event, eliminating the manual pre-event scan-in step that single-technology deployments often require. Compatible with Intellitix, Glownet, PlayPass, Tappit, CrowdBlink, AXS, Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, Universe, ShowClix, Festicket — and bespoke platforms via the standard NFC + QR API."
    },
    {
      "question": "What about industrial barcode scanners that don't support NFC?",
      "answer": "Industrial barcode scanners (Zebra DS3608, Honeywell Granit, Datalogic PowerScan) read the QR rail at high throughput without NFC infrastructure investment. Manufacturing, warehouse, and logistics environments with existing barcode-scanner fleets can adopt RFID-tracked wristbands by deploying the QR rail through the existing scanners + the NFC rail through any new NFC reader infrastructure. The dual-credential is structurally compatible with mixed-infrastructure rollout."
