A sheet of PowerCoat Alive comprises 3 layers of paper: two layers of our conventional creative papers from brands like Conqueror or Curious Collection; between which a layer of our PowerCoat paper with pre-printed RFID circuitry and a silicon chip are inserted. The 3 sheets are then laminated to create a sheet of our “connected” PowerCoat Alive. The result is an NFC-ready paper that can be programmed to trigger a multitude of functions on any NFC-enabled device.
ALIVE can be printed, finished and handled as you would any other paper. This enables magazine advertisements, packaging, retail labels, book covers, cosmetics and other high-value printed materials to be interactive and deliver additional content, such as special offers, coupons, product information and other information.
This is only a small selection of what we can make with Powercoats's amazing NFC paper. If you don't see exactly what you need, please call us on 01322 333363 and one of our friendly team will help you find the printing solution you need.
