How to choose an NFC identification bracelet

Start with how the bracelet will be used, then check the individual product description. Models can differ in fit, materials, personalisation and the type of information their chips hold.

1. Choose a suitable format

Consider whether a wristband is comfortable for the person who will wear it. The catalogue also includes identification formats for other uses. Check the description of each model rather than assuming that every item has the same features.

2. Check fit and product specifications

Read the available sizes, fastening details and material information. If you need a particular level of water resistance or a specific feature, confirm it for that product before ordering. Do not infer a rating from the appearance of the bracelet.

3. Check how the information is read

Bracelets from the current production batch have one NFC chip linking to the web profile. Opening the profile requires a compatible NFC phone and an internet connection. These units do not include a second chip for storing personal information for offline reading.

4. Review personalisation and setup

Follow the instructions shown on the product page. If a personalisation field is provided, review your text before saving it and adding the item to your basket. After receiving the product, follow its setup instructions and test each supported way of reading it.

5. Keep the information current

Update the information in the web profile following the supplied instructions, then open it through the bracelet to check the result. The chip keeps its link to the profile.
