The TapSticky Transparent NFC Business Card is India's only see-through smart card, handcrafted from crystal-clear resin with the NFC chip and antenna visibly embedded inside. Priced at ₹2,999, it is a premium conversation starter that doubles as a networking tool. When someone holds this card, they see the NFC chip and copper antenna coil through the clear resin body. When they tap it with their phone, your full digital profile opens, name, photo, links, portfolio, and contact details. No other NFC card brand in India offers a transparent option.
What Makes the Transparent Card Unique
Handcrafted Clear Resin Construction
Unlike mass-produced PVC cards, each TapSticky Transparent card is individually handcrafted from clear epoxy resin. The NFC chip (NTAG216, 888 bytes) and copper antenna coil are carefully embedded inside the resin, creating a floating effect that is visible from both sides. The card is polished to a glass-like clarity.
Visible Technology
Most NFC cards hide the chip inside opaque plastic. The Transparent card puts the technology on display. People can see the actual NFC chip and the spiral antenna coil, it sparks curiosity and becomes a conversation starter before you even tap it. "Is that the chip inside?" is the most common reaction.

Care Instructions
The resin card is durable but benefits from basic care:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth. Use mild soap and water for stubborn marks.
- Storage: Store in the included protective sleeve or a card holder. Avoid loose pockets with keys or coins.
- Avoid: Prolonged direct sunlight exposure (can cause slight yellowing over years), extreme heat (above 60°C).
- Durability: The resin body is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Normal card use (wallet, card holder, handoffs) is perfectly fine.
- Water resistance: Fully waterproof. The NFC chip is sealed inside the resin, water cannot reach it.
Ordering and Delivery
Because each card is handcrafted, delivery takes 5-7 business days (compared to 3-5 for standard PVC cards). The card comes in a premium box with a protective sleeve and a quick-start guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the transparent card as durable as a PVC card?
Yes, in many ways more so. Epoxy resin is harder than PVC and more resistant to bending. The card is slightly thicker (~2mm vs 0.8mm for PVC), which adds to its premium feel and durability. It is also fully waterproof.
Can I see the NFC chip inside the card?
Yes, that is the defining feature. The NTAG216 chip and copper antenna coil are visibly embedded inside the clear resin. You can see them from both sides. It is what makes this card a conversation starter.
Why is it more expensive than the Black Matte card?
Each transparent card is individually handcrafted, the resin is poured, the chip is positioned, and the card is cured and polished by hand. Mass-produced PVC cards are machine-cut in batches. The material cost, labor, and time involved make the transparent card a premium product.
Can I customize the design or add a logo inside the resin?
The current design showcases the NFC chip and antenna in clear resin for maximum visual impact. Custom inclusions (logos, colors, embedded elements) may be available for bulk orders, contact TapSticky for custom requests.
Does it work exactly like the other TapSticky cards?
Yes. Same NTAG216 chip, same 6 profile themes, same tap analytics, same two-way contact exchange, same free design service. The only difference is the card body material and price. Learn more about how NFC business cards work.
