Thanks for the video

If I have 10k chips and I want to write my location link on them
Is there any fast way to do it because it’s hard to do this method for 10k

[oshodikolapo]

Thanks for this insightful tutorial. Which do you recommend for a simple occasion like a party. Should i simply print a single QRcode or an NFC tag

Did it works with any device? (Like android phones?)

[wbeofficial]

Can you use any brand of nfc tag with this app

[lukogs]

That's a very good idea. If it's QR code, people have to wait to open camera & scan it. With this they can just put phone near it.
By the way, can you tell me what type of paper(gsm) you used? The print looks better.

I want to thank you so much!
Your videos really help me to understand the basics of RFID and NFC. If I may ask you. I am solving a problem with my product and I can't decide what can be the best solution for me. I use reusable boxes and I want to attach to each one of them RFID or NFC tag and functions what I need are: the ability to read them with mobile, rewrite them (not necessary with mobile), it has to be passive tag, it's not gonna be an URL link but form of billing address (text) that has to be rewritable (in future). I am still not sure which Tag should be the best option for me. Thank you for your response.

Why wouldn't you just use a QR code for that?
