Your artwork, on a review stand.

Designs for review stands are made to order. Send us your artwork or start from a blank canvas, and our prepress team sends a free proof before anything prints.


Why NFC

A review stand that updates itself.

NFC smart review stands swap a one-time piece of paper for an always-current digital handshake. Same footprint. Infinitely editable profile behind it.

Tap or scan

NFC chip + QR on every review stand. Works with any iPhone (XS or later) or NFC Android, no app required.

Edit anytime

Your Ideal.Bio profile controls what the review stand shows. Update your title at 10 p.m. — the next tap shows it.

Dashboard analytics

See when and where the review stand was tapped, which links converted, and who added you to contacts.

Lifetime chip warranty

Every chip is covered — if it ever fails, we replace the review stand for free, shipping included.

Help

Quick answers.

What's the difference between the review stand designs?
Every design runs the same NFC + QR technology and connects to your Ideal.Bio profile. They differ in artwork, material, and finish. Pick a design you love, then choose Plastic Standard, Plastic Premium, Metal, or Bamboo as the body. If you don't see what you want, design your own from scratch.
Can I design my own review stand from scratch?
Yes — the Custom Design flow lets you upload artwork or edit in-browser. Our prepress team sends a free proof before anything prints. Turnaround on proofs is 1 business day.
Which phones does the NFC chip work with?
Every iPhone from the XS onward, and every NFC-enabled Android phone. No app installation is required on either side — the chip opens a URL in the native browser.
Can I update what my review stand shows after I order?
Yes — your review stand opens your Ideal.Bio profile, which you edit from the dashboard. Change jobs, swap your phone number, add a new link — the review stand you've already handed out shows the update on the next tap. No reprints, ever.
How is an NFC review stand different from a QR-only review stand?
An NFC review stand is tapped against a phone and opens a URL in under a second with no camera, no app, and no distance to focus. A QR-only review stand needs the camera app open and the phone a few inches back. Every Ideal Card product has both — the NFC chip for the tap and a printed QR code as a fallback for phones without NFC.
Is the NFC chip safe? Can anyone read it from my pocket?
The chip only broadcasts the URL you wrote to it, and only when a reader is within about 1 cm. It has no financial data, no personal data beyond the URL, and no battery to broadcast anything on its own. Someone brushing past you cannot read it from your pocket.
What happens if I lose the review stand?
Rotate the URL in your Ideal.Bio dashboard with one click. The lost review stand now points to a "deactivated" page instead of your profile, and your next review stand ships with the new URL. The chip in the lost review stand is useless without the live profile behind it.
Do you offer volume pricing for teams?
Yes — bulk pricing kicks in at 10 units and tiers up to 55% off at 250+. Admin dashboard lets a single manager handle every team member's profile, with SSO available on enterprise plans.
How long does production and shipping take?
Standard production is 1–2 business days (Metal and Bamboo add a day), then 3–5 business days transit for US orders via UPS Ground. International orders ship DHL eCommerce in 7–14 days. Rush production and overnight shipping are available at checkout.
