QR and NFC Custom Round Tag
Not every business fits neatly into a single platform. Some need a tag that links to a Google Review page today and a seasonal menu tomorrow. Others want to drive traffic to a booking system, a PDF brochure, a payment link, a Wi-Fi login page or a custom landing page that does not belong to any particular social network or review platform. For these businesses, a platform-branded tag - however well designed - is too narrow. What they need is a blank canvas: their own logo, their own QR code, and the freedom to point it at anything.
The QR and NFC Custom Round Tag by TapiLink is exactly that. Measuring 30mm or 70 in diameter, this distinctive circular disc features a sleek black matte finish, a customisable logo area with CMYK colour-bar placeholder, a large high-resolution QR code that dominates the centre of the design, an NFC contactless tap icon and the clean “Tap or Scan” prompt at the bottom. There is no platform branding, no star rating, no “Follow us” or “Review us” text - just the business’s own identity and a direct, frictionless path to whatever destination they configure. It is the most flexible, most universal and most future-proof NFC product TapiLink offers.
Specifications
• Tag Dimensions: 30mm diameter circular disc - a distinctive round format that stands out from conventional square and rectangular displays.

• Technology: Embedded NFC chip (NTAG213 or equivalent, 13.56 MHz) paired with a high-resolution printed QR code.

Features
Platform-Agnostic - Link to Anything
This is the tag’s defining feature. Unlike platform-specific products that are tied to Instagram, TikTok, Yelp or Google, the Custom Round Tag carries no platform branding whatsoever. The destination is entirely in the business’s hands. Link to a website, a Google Review page, a booking system, a digital menu, a PDF price list, a payment link, a Wi-Fi login portal, a Linktree page, a Calendly booking, a WhatsApp chat, a donation page, an event registration form or any other URL. Change the destination at any time through the TapiLink dashboard without touching the physical tag. Today it can be a menu; next week it can be a feedback survey; next month it can be a seasonal promotion. One tag, infinite destinations.
Distinctive Round Design
The 30mm circular disc is designed to be noticed. In a world of rectangular cards and square plates, the round format breaks every visual expectation on a counter, table or desk, drawing the customer’s eye precisely because it does not blend in. The generous 30mm diameter ensures the QR code is displayed at a size that is instantly scannable from a comfortable distance, while the compact 30mm or 70mm base keeps the disc stable and upright. The combination of the sleek black finish, the distinctive round shape and the prominent QR code creates a display piece that is both functional and visually striking.
Personalisation & Branding
Every tag features a “Your Logo” area at the top, underscored by CMYK colour bars that are replaced with the client’s actual brand mark during production. TapiLink’s in-house design team prepares a visual proof for approval before printing, ensuring the logo is reproduced accurately and the finished tag looks polished and professional. Because there is no platform branding to compete with, the business’s own identity takes centre stage - making the tag feel like a bespoke, in-house marketing tool rather than a third-party accessory.
QR-Code-Forward Design
The tag’s layout is deliberately QR-code-forward. The large white QR code occupies the centre of the disc, making it the most prominent element and ensuring it is visible and scannable from across a table. This design choice reflects the reality that QR scanning has become second nature for most smartphone users - the code is the call-to-action. The NFC tap icon and “Tap or Scan” prompt at the bottom provide the alternative access method for NFC-enabled devices, but the QR code’s visual dominance means even customers unfamiliar with NFC technology will know exactly what to do.
Instant Tap-or-Scan Access
The tag’s dual-technology design ensures every customer can reach the configured destination within seconds. When an NFC-enabled smartphone is held near the disc, the embedded chip triggers the device to open the URL automatically. For customers who prefer a visual prompt or whose device lacks NFC, the large QR code delivers the same result: a quick scan and the destination loads instantly. Two access methods, universal compatibility, one seamless outcome.
Durable, Premium Construction
The PVC disc features a smooth matte finish that resists fingerprints, scratches and everyday wear. The compact 30mm or 70mm weighted base provides stable, reliable support on any flat surface. The matte texture gives the tag a contemporary, premium feel that suits any commercial environment. For businesses seeking alternative aesthetics, brushed-metal and sustainably sourced wood variants are available on request. All materials are UV-stable, ensuring the black finish and white QR code remain crisp through months of daily use.
Security & Privacy
The NFC chip is read-only and cannot be overwritten, cloned or tampered with by third parties. All links are managed through TapiLink’s encrypted dashboard, which requires authenticated login to modify. Any data collected through optional landing-page forms is processed in full compliance with GDPR, stored on secure encrypted servers within the UK/EU, and never sold or shared. No personal information is stored on the chip itself.
Eco-Friendly & Endlessly Reusable
Because the destination URL can be updated remotely at any time, the physical tag never becomes obsolete. This single product can serve dozens of different purposes over its lifetime without ever needing to be reprinted or replaced. Over the years, it eliminates the need for hundreds of printed cards, flyers, menu inserts and promotional materials, making it one of the most sustainable marketing tools available.
How It Works
1. Step 1 - Order & Customise: Upload your logo and let TapiLink’s design team prepare a branded proof for your approval. No platform to choose - the tag works with any URL.
2. Step 2 - Receive & Activate: When the tag arrives, log in to your TapiLink dashboard and assign any URL to the tag’s NFC chip - a website, a review page, a booking link, a menu, a payment page or anything else.
3. Step 3 - Display: Place the round tag on any counter, table, reception desk, display area or high-traffic surface where customers interact with the business.
4. Step 4 - Tap or Scan: Customers hold their phone near the disc to trigger the NFC chip, or open their camera and scan the QR code. The configured destination loads instantly.
5. Step 5 - Change Destination Any Time: Need to switch to a different URL? Log back into the dashboard and update the link. The tag stays on the counter - no reprinting, no re-ordering, no cost.
Who Can Benefit?
The QR and NFC Custom Round Tag is designed for any business, brand or organisation that needs a flexible, platform-agnostic NFC product. Because it carries no platform branding, the use cases are virtually unlimited:
• Restaurants & Cafés: Link to a digital menu, a booking page, a Wi-Fi login portal, a feedback survey or a seasonal promotion - and switch between them as often as needed.
• Retail & E-Commerce: Link to the online shop, a product catalogue, a loyalty programme sign-up, a discount-code page or a customer survey.
• Hotels & Accommodation: Link to a concierge page, room-service menu, local-area guide, checkout form, Wi-Fi access or guest-feedback survey.
• Healthcare & Clinics: Link to a patient portal, appointment-booking system, intake form, directions page or post-visit feedback survey.
• Events & Conferences: Link to event schedules, speaker bios, networking apps, sponsor pages, feedback forms or post-event resources.

• Gyms & Fitness Studios: Link to class schedules, membership sign-ups, workout plans, nutrition guides or personal-training bookings.
• Any Business with Changing Needs: If the destination changes regularly - weekly menus, seasonal offers, rotating campaigns, event-specific pages - the Custom Round Tag is the ideal solution because the URL can be updated instantly without replacing the tag.
The absence of platform branding is the product’s greatest strength. It adapts to whatever the business needs, whenever the business needs it, without ever looking out of date or off-brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What can I link the tag to?
Anything with a URL. Websites, review pages, booking systems, digital menus, payment links, Wi-Fi portals, PDF downloads, social media profiles, donation pages, event registrations - the tag is completely platform-agnostic.
2. Can I change the destination after the tag has been printed?
Yes. The destination URL is managed through your TapiLink online dashboard and can be updated as many times as you like at no extra cost. The physical tag never needs replacing.
3. Does the tag work with all smartphones?
The NFC chip is compatible with iPhone 7 and later as well as virtually all modern Android devices. For older or non-NFC handsets, the printed QR code provides the same functionality via the phone’s camera.
4. How is this different from the platform-branded tags?
Platform-branded tags (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Yelp, etc.) carry platform-specific branding, colours and call-to-action text. The Custom Round Tag carries no platform branding - just your logo and a QR code - making it suitable for any destination and any use case, including destinations that change regularly.
5. How stable is the round tag on a counter?
The compact base keeps the 30mm or 70mm disc securely upright on any flat surface, including busy counters prone to bumps and vibrations.
6. How durable is the tag?
The PVC construction features a smooth matte finish that resists fingerprints, scratches and everyday wear. All materials are UV-stable, ensuring the design remains crisp through extended daily use.
7. Is user data secure?
Absolutely. The NFC chip is read-only and cannot be tampered with. All data collected through optional landing-page forms is encrypted, stored on secure servers and handled in full compliance with GDPR.
8. Can I use the tag for multiple purposes over time?
Yes. That is the tag’s greatest strength. Link it to a menu this week, a feedback survey next week and a seasonal offer the week after. The destination is updated online in seconds; the physical tag stays in place.
9. How does the tag help the environment?
Because the tag is reusable and the destination can be changed unlimited times, it replaces hundreds of printed materials over its lifetime - menus, flyers, cards, inserts and promotional sheets that would otherwise be discarded every time the content changes.
10. Can I order in bulk?
Yes. TapiLink offers bulk pricing for multi-location businesses, event organisers and franchises. Each tag can be configured with a different destination URL. Contact the team for a custom quote.
