◆ Appearance review of NFC tag

I arrived in an envelope of the same size as a general letter.


Contents is like this. As I looked it was just a glossy white seal lining up on a bandlike mount. It is a thankful place to be free from the storage location.


Just a round seal as far as you can see from the top ......


The size is about double the 10 yen coin, so you can paste it in various places.


The feeling I had was considerably diluted. It is perfectly impossible to think that digital data can be recorded.


It weighs about 2 grams with 5 pcs. Since it is almost the same weight as paper, it does not mean that weight increase is anxious even if you paste it on a carrying item.


I easily peeled off from the mount with pelori. Even with NFC tags it is not hard to handle, it is the same as ordinary seal.


The reverse side is green. The base is printed in silver.
