Our cards follow the universal CR-80 card size. This size is 86mm (8.6cm) by 54mm (5.4cm) and is only 0.7mm deep/thick. You can compare our cards to your average Credit Card, Drivers License, or ID/gift card.

KIS Cards are designed to work instantly, with most compatible smartphones picking up the NFC signal or QR code within 1–2 seconds - often even faster! Speed can vary slightly depending on the phone model, case thickness, or how the card is tapped. If it doesn’t register on the first try, simply adjust the angle or try again near the top back of the phone where the NFC reader is usually located. Even with a slight delay, it’s still far faster and more seamless than handing over a paper card and typing in contact details manually.

Because KIS Cards use NFC (Near Field Communication), the card needs to be very close to the smartphone - usually within 0–5 cm. For best results, gently tap the card directly against the back of the phone, near the top or middle area where most NFC readers are located. You can also hover the card just a few centimetres away, but contact or very close proximity works fastest.

Yes. Most cases will allow NFC to continue to work, however, we can not guarantee all cases will allow NFC to work. Some thicker cases may cause interference.

A KIS Card works using NFC (Near Field Communication) and a printed QR code. When you tap the card against a compatible smartphone or scan the QR code with a camera, your digital business card instantly opens in their contacts app - no extra apps needed. You can customise the contact page with your details, links, social profiles, and more. It’s fast, professional, and easy to update anytime without reprinting the card.

Yes. Your data is stored on a secure server that is encrypted. Our cards are also locked/protected to prevent formatting manipulation.

Our KIS Cards are made from PVC (Plastic.) While we continue to look into the possibility of using more sustainable materials, at this stage, we are unable to provide our cards in any other material than PVC due to many limitations. Metal NFC cards are not possible due to the blocking effect metal materials have on NFC/RFID technology.

KIS Cards are water-resistant, meaning they can handle light exposure to water - like rain or small splashes - without issue. However, we don’t recommend submerging your card or exposing it to large amounts of water, as this could damage the internal chip or affect the printed surface. To preserve the card’s appearance and functionality, it’s best to keep it as dry as possible.

You can include a wide range of contact details and links on your KIS Card - everything your clients or customers might need to reach you or learn more about your business. Common options include (but aren’t limited to): First and Last Name Company Name Mobile, Landline, and Work Numbers Email Address(es) Physical Business Address Website URL(s) (primary and secondary) Custom URLs (such as social media or portfolios) All this information is encoded into both the NFC chip and the QR code for seamless access. If you need more custom options or have specific requirements, feel free to reach out at info@kiscards.co.nz.

Over 90% of modern smartphones are NFC enabled, meaning your KIS Card will work with the vast majority of devices your clients are likely to use. Most newer phones can read NFC cards instantly without needing any additional apps. However, some older device - particularly iPhones prior to the iPhone XS (like iPhone 6, 6s, 7, 8, and X) - do not support background NFC reading. This means they require a third-party app to scan NFC tags. For those cases, every KIS Card also includes a printed QR code, which can be scanned with any smartphone camera as a reliable backup. If you’d like to see a full list of NFC-compatible phones, click here.

On some occasions, iOS/Apple phones can struggle to read the NFC tag or gain a consistent connection. Below are some tips on how to achieve the best read each time: 1. Put your phone to sleep (by pressing the side button once) then immediately wake it back up (press the side button again). 2. Hover the top of your phone around 5 centimeters above the card. 3. Tilt your phone downwards (not too fast or too slow) so that roughly the area next to your phone's camera is about 0.5 cm above the card. Should you need any further assistance, please email us at info@kiscards.co.nz or submit a ticket.

Nearly all smartphones with a working camera can scan QR codes. Most modern smartphones - both Apple and Android - have QR code scanning built directly into the camera app. Simply open the camera, point it at the QR code, and a link will pop up automatically. QR codes are a simple and reliable backup for phones that may not support NFC.
