NFC Cards
Mobile Access to Product Information with an NFC Card
In an NFC card, the packaging links to the product details registered in the ImenGold app. Bringing a compatible phone close to the NFC card opens the enquiry path in the browser. The enquiry result should be checked against the product details and physical features of the packaging; reading NFC alone does not authenticate the product.

Choose an NFC card around the product format and verification path.
Choose a piece to place it inside the packaging.

The information path in an NFC card
Displaying the product details registered in the ImenGold app brings together three parts: the NFC core in the card, a mobile phone and the product information.
- 01
The NFC Core in the Card
The NFC chip and antenna sit inside the card and establish wireless communication with a compatible mobile phone. Their placement should fit the product dimensions and packaging method, and their operation is checked after packaging.
- 02
Access with a Mobile Phone
Bringing a compatible mobile phone close to the NFC area opens the product-information path in the browser. No separate app is required; the phone and browser must support NFC.
- 03
