PrintCards launches world’s first NFC Premium Paper Cards & Designed NFC Security Paper Tags. Perfect for luxury goods, packaging, labels, certificates, and branded documents, they combine high-end print design with secure NFC technology. NFC’s a short-range wireless communication standard that lets two devices exchange data when they’re very close (usually within 4 cm). This entry for the International Sustainable Design Awards 2025 has been selected as a winner by 14 distinguished international judges from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, Macau, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. Based on the final judging results, our designer's work has been awarded the following honor: Global Excellence Award. Designed by Jomie Leung

QR codes can pose security risks, especially for collectors, art buyers, premium card users, or high-value product owners. Fraudsters can replace a QR code sticker on a printed product (e.g., art card, luxury item, or NFC tag) with one that links to a phishing site or malware. QR codes may redirect users to fake authentication pages that mimic real brand websites stealing login data or issuing false "verifications". Unlike NFC chips, QR codes are just printed graphics. There’s no encryption, no traceability, and no way to prevent duplication. Anyone can scan and reproduce a QR code perfect for counterfeiters. Some malicious QR codes, when scanned, auto-launch a browser, download files, or initiate app actions without obvious consent. Collectors and professionals should avoid QR codes for authentication, tracking, or digital experiences in premium products. Choose locked NFC chips and secure tag technology instead.
