NFC - The Touchpoint Revolution
Technology Overview & Core Functions
Near Field Communication (NFC) is seamlessly integrated into S.E.C. transfers, making it simpler to exchange data and digital content.

Material Combination Flexibility
We bring your digital strategy to life without limiting your existing aesthetic design choices. S.E.C. specializes in merging complex textures while protecting the fragile hidden electronics.
- Silicone & 3D Weld: Thick, elastic dimensions perfect for high-wear activewear and team jerseys.
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane):
- Metallic Foil Paper: Striking visual accents that catch light beautifully while securely hiding the chip beneath.
- Hybrid Patches & Badges: Combines embroidery, felt, canvas, or woven textures to form layered, multi-material branding elements.
Industrial Technical Specifications
Every S.E.C. trim is precision-engineered to survive both global manufacturing pipelines and standard laundry maintenance.
| Technical Parameter |
Standard Specification |
| Carrier Frequency |
13.56 MHz (High-Frequency Active Scanning) |
| Standard Compliance |
ISO/IEC 14443-A (NFC Forum Type 2 / Type 4) |
| Chip Memory Profiles |
NTAG213 (144 Bytes) | NTAG215 (504 Bytes) | NTAG216 (888 Bytes) |
| Wash Durability |
Certified for up to 50 home laundry cycles at 40°C |
| Application Parameters |
Temperature: 140°C–150°C | Time: 12–15s | Pressure: 3–4 bar (Note: Fabric finish may alter parameters; softener treatment is not recommended before application) |
| Anti-Metal Shielding |
Optional ferrite insulation backing prevents signal loss near metal fibers or foils |

S.E.C. intelligent trims utilize miniaturized, high-performance inlays designed for maximum flexibility. Our standard form factors are optimized to be 'invisible' within the garment while maintaining a reliable 13.56 MHz induction field.

Dependent on material (Silicone vs. TPU). |
- Antenna Size vs. Scan Distance: "Larger antennas (30mm+) provide a more 'forgiving' scan experience for consumers, while smaller 20mm antennas require more precise phone placement but allow for ultra-minimalist badge designs."
- Flexibility & Bend Radius: "Our antenna loops are manufactured using high-flex etching technology, allowing the badge to conform to the natural curves of the body (sleeves, shoulders) without fracturing the copper circuit during normal wear."
