NFC RFID tag SCOT NTAG213 40×32 mm, 180 bytes, black

SCOT NFC RFID tag NTAG213 is a compact passive contactless sticker designed for short-range NFC and RFID applications. The tag measures 40×32 mm and houses an NTAG213 chip that provides 180 bytes of user memory, enabling simple data storage and read operations with NFC-enabled smartphones and readers that support the NTAG213 family. The black format and slim profile make the tag suitable for discrete attachment to products, labels or surfaces where a compact NFC identifier is required.

Advantages

The NTAG213 chip offers consistent compatibility with standard NFC smartphones and many dedicated readers, providing reliable wireless communication at short distances. The 180 bytes of user memory are sufficient for storing URLs, small text records, business cards, and simple authentication data. The sticker form factor is thin and flexible enough for application on curved or flat surfaces, while the black appearance keeps the tag unobtrusive. As a passive device, the tag requires no internal power source and is maintenance-free.

Suitable for

• Access control tokens for short-range verification
• Asset tagging and inventory markers
• Product authentication and anti-counterfeit labels
• Smart posters and information sharing via NFC-enabled smartphones
• Simple automation tasks and quick pairing triggers

Key specifications

• User memory: 180 bytes available for data storage
• Physical size: 40 × 32 mm
• Color and form: black adhesive sticker, thin and flexible
• Interface: passive NFC/RFID operation at 13.56 MHz
• Write/erase: reprogrammable according to NTAG213 capabilities

How to use

Peel the adhesive backing and apply the tag to a clean, dry surface without gaps or contaminants to ensure good adhesion. Use an NFC-enabled smartphone or compatible reader to write data to the tag using a standard NFC app or configuration tool that supports NTAG213. Place the reading device close to the sticker—typically within a few centimetres—to perform read or write operations. Reprogram the tag as required by overwriting existing content, taking care not to exceed the available 180 bytes of user memory.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid placing the tag directly on metal surfaces unless a spacer or anti-metal backing is used. Test read range and reliability with the specific smartphone models or readers that will be used in your workflow. When storing URLs or vCard data, keep records compact to fit within the 180-byte limit; consider using short URLs or URL shorteners if necessary. For access control or authentication use cases, combine tag data with a backend verification system rather than relying solely on the tag’s static content.
