When integrating NFC/RFID stickers into your projects, selecting the right adhesive is critical to ensure durability, reliability, and seamless performance. At UNIRFID, we understand that different surfaces require tailored solutions. This guide will help you navigate the best adhesive options for your needs while optimizing costs and functionality.
Why Adhesive Choice Matters for NFC/RFID Stickers
The adhesive on your NFC/RFID sticker determines how well it bonds to surfaces, withstands environmental factors (like heat, moisture, or friction), and retains functionality over time. Using the wrong adhesive can lead to peeling, signal interference, or damage to surfaces.

Top Adhesive Options for Common Surfaces
1. For Paper, Books, or Cardboard: 3M™ 467MP or Generic Double-Sided Tape
-
3M™ 467MP: A pressure-sensitive adhesive ideal for smooth, low-energy surfaces like paper. It offers a removable bond, making it perfect for temporary applications (e.g., event stickers).
-
Cost-Effective Alternative: Generic double-sided tape works well for lightweight, short-term use on paper products.
2. For Plastic, PVC, or Electronics: 3M™ 300LSE or 3M™ 9448A
-
3M™ 300LSE: Designed for low-surface-energy plastics (e.g., polypropylene), this adhesive ensures strong, long-term bonding without residue.
-
3M™ 9448A: A high-performance acrylic adhesive for industrial plastics and curved surfaces. Resistant to UV and humidity.
3. For Glass or Metal: 3M™ VHB (Very High Bond) Tape
-
3M™ VHB: This ultra-strong, permanent adhesive is perfect for glass, metal, or smooth surfaces. It withstands extreme temperatures and vibrations, making it ideal for outdoor or automotive use.
4. For Mobile Phones or Devices: 3M™ 9448A or Removable Adhesives
-
Use 3M™ 9448A for a semi-permanent bond on phone cases or devices.
-
For removable applications (e.g., reusable tags), opt for a gentle adhesive like 3M™ 467MP to avoid residue.
5. For Fabric, Curtains, or Upholstery: UNIRFID YX Adhesive
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Adhesive
-
Surface Type: Smooth (glass, plastic) vs. porous (fabric, cardboard).
-
Environment: Will the sticker face heat, moisture, or friction?
-
Duration: Temporary (removable) vs. permanent bonding.
-
Budget: Balance performance needs with cost (e.g., generic tapes for short-term use).
