Ordering smart labels in volume: 5,000 to 100,000+ labels
Brands use smart labels for authentication, product information and stock tracking, so a volume order is shaped by what each label must do when it is tapped, scanned or opened. Name up to three larger runs alongside your own quantity and all of them are priced together, each with a Normal, Express and Priority delivery option. A proof of the print and the code setup is approved before printing.
Run sizes and what changes at each
NFC inlays are usually encoded with one shared link across the run, and QR codes print as one static or dynamic code. A sensible size for measuring tap and scan rates on one product.
Who orders this size: Brands piloting tap-to-learn or authentication
Unique QR codes or serial numbers per label become common, printed as variable data in the same pass. Each label then maps to one unit in your records.
Who orders this size: Supplement, spirits and beauty brands
NFC tags can carry a unique ID per label instead of one shared link, which supports authentication. The encoding data file is agreed before printing starts.
Who orders this size: Brands tackling counterfeits or gray-market resale
UHF RFID inventory labels often run at this size, wound on rolls for printer-encoders or applicators. Metal and liquid in the pack affect read range, so state them.
Who orders this size: Retailers and warehouses tracking stock
Program volumes. Chip supply and code ranges are planned ahead, and each release can carry its own block of serial numbers for traceability.
Who orders this size: Supply-chain and brand-protection programs
Facts for your procurement file
- Lead time
- Production takes 7 to 12 business days after you approve the proof. Delivery time is shown on the quote.
- Shipping
- Shipped delivered duty paid (DDP) to your door, so there are no surprise duties or fees on arrival. Choose normal or fast delivery on the quote.
What to send for a volume quote
- Technology: NFC (with chip type if you have one), static or dynamic QR, UHF RFID, tamper-evident, holographic or a combination
- What each label carries: one shared link, or a unique code or serial number per label, and who supplies the data file
- Where it goes: the surface (glass, plastic, metal or film), the label size, and whether it is applied by hand or by machine from rolls
- Your quantity, plus up to three larger runs you want priced on the same quote
- Whether this is a one-time order or a recurring program, and how often you reorder
- The date you need the goods in hand, and the delivery address or addresses
- How many designs or SKUs are in the order, and the quantity of each
- Artwork or a brief; a proof is approved before anything is printed

Smart Labels FAQ
What types of smart labels do you offer?
NFC (Near Field Communication) tags, QR code labels, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) labels, tamper-evident authentication labels, holographic smart labels, and combination labels (NFC + QR + holographic on a single label).
How do NFC labels work?
NFC labels contain a small chip and antenna. When a customer taps their smartphone against the label, it instantly opens a URL, product page, authentication page, or digital experience — no app download required. Works with all modern iPhones and Android devices.
Can smart labels be custom printed?
Yes. All smart labels include full-color CMYK printing on the surface. The NFC chip and antenna are embedded between layers and invisible to the user. Custom shapes, sizes, and finishes available.
What is the MOQ for wholesale smart labels?
NFC labels start at 500 units MOQ. QR code labels start at 500 units. RFID labels start at 1,000 units. Combination labels start at 500 units. All with custom printing included.
Can smart labels integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. Our smart labels work with any NFC/RFID reader system. We provide API documentation for integration with inventory management, authentication platforms, CRM systems, and IoT dashboards.
Are smart labels waterproof?
Smart labels are available on waterproof BOPP and vinyl substrates that are water, oil, and UV resistant. The NFC chip is fully sealed and protected from moisture, making them suitable for bottles, jars, and outdoor products.
Can every smart label in a large run carry its own code?
Yes, when the request asks for it. QR codes and serial numbers can print as variable data, and NFC chips can be encoded with a unique ID or link per label. Send the data file and say how codes should be grouped by roll or carton. You approve a proof, including where the code sits, before anything is printed.
Will NFC and RFID labels work on metal or liquid-filled packaging?
QR codes print on any surface, but NFC and RFID are affected by metal and by liquid close to the chip, which can shorten or block the read. Tins, foil pouches and filled bottles usually need an on-metal inlay or a spacer layer. State the packaging material in the request so the right inlay is chosen before the proof.
Can the link behind NFC or QR labels change after printing?
Only if the code points to a redirect you control. A static QR code or a locked NFC chip always opens the same address, so a change means reprinting. A dynamic QR code, or an NFC chip pointing to a redirect link, lets you change the destination later without touching the labels. Decide this before the proof, because a printed run cannot be changed.
