NFC Bookbag Tag Quick Guide

Thank you for participating in our FREE NFC Bookbag Tag program. These tags help reconnect lost school items with the right student and provide a quick way to contact a parent or guardian if needed.

WHAT IS AN NFC TAG?

NFC (Near Field Communication) lets information be shared with a simple smartphone tap. When someone taps the tag, they can instantly view the contact details you choose to share—no app needed on most modern phones.

WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD I ADD?

We recommend including the Parent/Guardian Name(s) and Primary Phone Number

HOW TO SET UP YOUR TAG

Step 1: Download an NFC writing app to your smartphone. Recommended app for iPhone & Android: NFC Tools

Step 2: Open the app and select:

Write → Add a Record → Text

Step 3: Enter the contact information you want displayed when the tag is tapped. 

Step 4: Select Write and hold your phone against the NFC tag until the write is complete.

Step 5: Test the tag by tapping it with another smartphone to verify the information appears correctly.

*IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER*

NFC Tags cannot open a text-only file automatically. If you choose to add a text-only file, the person reading the tag will need an NFC reading app to view the information.

For the best experience, we recommend adding one of the following:

• A link to your social media profile

• LinkedIn contact information

• A website or contact page
