To uphold brand integrity and elevate consumer experience, luxury brands should implement NFC tags in premium paper items such as:
-

Certificate cards

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.
Safer Alternative: NFC Tags in Premium Paper
-
Encrypted or locked NFC chips can store secure URLs, digital certificates, or unique tokens that link to authentication servers.
-
Impossible to visually copy like a QR code.
-
Better suited for art collectibles, limited edition prints, and branded authentication tags.
-
Supported by iPhones and Android — with no app needed in most cases.
-
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.
NFC (Near Field Communication) offers a more secure and controlled alternative:
-
No need to open a camera or scan unfamiliar links.
-
NFC chips can be encrypted and locked.
-
Users tap to activate—not easily tricked into clicking fake websites.
-
Ideal for brand-authenticated content and private engagement.
The volume potential in the luxury and tech market is strong, given digital networking trends. However, our success hinges on:
-
Effectively educating buyers and end-users on NFC usability.
-
Proven production reliability and scalability.
-
Compelling ROI vs QR and digital alternatives.
-
Clear go‑to‑market strategy to target high-end segments.
Use Cases:
-
To safeguard the ® brands from imitation products.
-
To create a serial number confirmation tag that connects users to an official website (e.g., for product authenticity verification).
-
Scratch Panel: Hide the serial number until purchase to prevent duplication. Useful if your product is sold internationally.
