CARTE Identity Suite
One tap opens it
Your partner holds their phone to the card. No code to scan, no app to install: your page opens in their browser.
They see who you are
A dossier built for you: your role, your record, how to reach you, in your own identity. Change it any time without reprinting the card.
Saved in one tap
One button puts your name, number, email and dossier into their contacts. Nothing retyped, nothing mistyped.
Open it on a phone to see exactly what your partner will see.
Inside 0.76 mm
No battery, no screen, no app. A small chip, a coil of antenna, and the PVC around them. Scroll to take the card apart.
CARTE
Face
Printed to your identity. Name, title, logo and brand colours.
NFC inlay
An NXP NTAG216 chip joined to a coil antenna. The only working part of the card.
PVC core
Gives the card the stiffness of a bank card.
Back
Printed to its own design, like the face.

Before you commission
Which phones can read the card?
iPhone XS and later read it straight away, with nothing to open. Android phones with NFC only need NFC switched on, and almost all of them have it.
Does the person I meet need an app?
No. The dossier opens in the phone's own browser, and the contact saves to its own contacts.
Can I change what the card shows later?
With The Signature Suite, yes: the dossier can be changed at any time without reprinting the card.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer. Once your request arrives, CARTE messages you on Zalo to confirm the order and send the transfer details.
Where do you deliver?
For now, CARTE delivers within Ho Chi Minh City.
What if I want changes after the card is printed?
Before printing, you can revise freely until you approve. Once you have approved and the card has been printed, each reprint costs 120,000 ₫.
How soon will I have the card?
The design reaches you within 24 working hours. Once you approve it: 5 to 7 working days for The Signature Suite, 3 to 5 for The Visite Card.
What if I would rather not design it myself?
Choose Atelier (+250,000 ₫). Send your logo and a few lines on what you want; CARTE designs the card for you and revises it until it is right.
Is there a yearly fee?
No. The Signature Suite includes hosting for your dossier for life, and the chip carries a lifetime warranty on both tiers.
