For sign shops

NFC products for sign shops to resell — no new equipment, no development.

You already engrave and fabricate practice signs, office signage, and directory boards. NfcPress gives your shop the complete white-label platform to add an NFC chip to the same signs — sell it, manage it, and deliver it to multiple business customers, all under your own brand.

No new machinery, no in-house software team. The NFC chip is added to the sign you already build. NfcPress supplies the sales website, order management, the NFC activation workflow, and the dashboard your customers use to manage their own destination link.

What you get as a sign shop

An additional product line alongside your existing engraving and signage business — with a finished digital stack and recurring revenue built in.

Fits your existing fabrication

NFC inlays go into acrylic, PVC foam board, wood, and laminate directly, or into a routed recess on metal signs — using materials and processes your shop already runs.

Zero development work

Sales website, order management, NFC programming, and the customer dashboard are already built. You configure branding and a product catalogue — nothing else.

A concrete reason to tap

A practice sign links to booking, an office sign links to the company site, a directory links to a floor plan — a tangible upgrade over a sign with no chip.

Recurring revenue

A digital product line next to classic engraving and installation work: customers reorder for new locations, replacement signs, or rebrands — steadier revenue than one-off jobs.

Customers self-serve

Cardholders manage their own destination URL, profile, and links through their own dashboard — support requests don't land on your desk.

Tap analytics as a sales argument

Every tap is logged — timestamp, country, device type. A concrete data point to justify the upgrade over a sign with no chip.

How an order works

You fabricate as usual and place the chip. The platform handles everything else.

01

Order lands in your inbox

Your business customer picks a sign type, material, and engraving text, and uploads a logo. The order appears automatically in your admin panel — no phone tag, no back-and-forth quoting.

02

Fabricate as usual, plus the chip

You engrave and fabricate the sign with your normal process and place the NFC chip in the designated spot — the only extra step.

03

Activate, install

Scan the chip's QR code in the admin panel and link it to the order — it's live. The customer gets access to their self-serve dashboard.

Why sign shops are adding NFC now

A standard engraved sign is a one-time job. An NFC sign is a product customers come back for — new office locations, replacement plaques after a rebrand, or an extra sign for a second entrance. For your shop, that means planned, recurring revenue sitting next to your classic engraving and fabrication work, without buying new machinery or hiring developers.

The only real gap is the digital layer behind the sign: the sales site, order processing, NFC programming, and customer self-service. That's exactly what NfcPress supplies out of the box. Glastrix, a UV print and sign shop in Berlin, runs its NFC product line in production on this same platform today — from the first order through ongoing customer management. You license the same infrastructure and add NFC to your existing sign catalogue in days instead of losing months to custom development.

Common questions

Which signs can be turned into an NFC product?+
Almost anything you already fabricate: practice and office door signs, building directory boards, engraved plaques, wayfinding signs, and apartment or suite name plates. The NFC chip is added to the finished sign — your engraving, material, and mounting hardware don't change.
Does NFC work with metal, acrylic, and engraved plaques?+
Yes, with one rule: the chip can't sit directly behind metal, since metal blocks the radio signal. For aluminum-composite or stainless signs, the inlay goes into a routed recess or on the back with clearance from the metal core. Acrylic, PVC foam board, wood, and laminate signs take the chip directly, embedded or applied to the back — no workaround needed there.
What does NfcPress handle, and what stays with my sign shop?+
NfcPress runs the digital layer: sales website, order management, the NFC activation workflow, and the self-serve dashboard your customers use. Your shop keeps doing what it already does best — consultation, engraving, material selection, and installation. Activating the chip in the admin panel takes under a minute per sign.
What's the point of putting NFC on a sign?+
A practice sign with a chip links straight to online appointment booking. An office sign links to the company's digital business card or website. A directory board links to a floor plan or welcome page. The customer taps their phone against the sign and lands on that page directly — no typing a URL, no separate app.
How much margin is left after adding NFC?+
You set your own retail pricing with your customers. NfcPress charges a one-time setup fee plus a 1% commission on card revenue — there's no recurring SaaS fee. Since the chip itself is a small fraction of a fabricated sign's material cost, your existing margin on engraving and installation stays largely intact.
How fast can a sign shop launch this?+
Setup typically takes a few days: configure your branding, build a product catalogue around the sign types you already offer, and run one test order end to end. Glastrix, a Berlin-based UV print and sign shop, took its first paying NFC customer within a week of going live on the same platform.
