The card
Leave a little more with them.
An introduction that continues after the handshake: your details, your work and your world, from one simple object.
- Personal introductions
- Teams and events
- Digital contact cards
Physical touchpoints.
Digital outcomes.
Cards, counter stands and tags that open a real page. Choose the object and its material, then watch a phone tap or scan it.

Watch the phone meet the surface.
Example page not public yet
Illustrated sequence. The browser does not read or write NFC; prompts differ by phone. Until the example page is public, the QR opens this showroom.01The objects
Three objects. One clear next step.
Each format suits a different moment: in a pocket, on a counter, on a product. Put any of them on the plinth above, or open its guide for the details worth discussing.
The counter stand
The next step, right where it belongs.
An enquiry, a menu, a booking or feedback, placed where someone is ready to act, with one clear invitation.
- Hospitality
- Reception and retail
- Appointments
The NFC tag
A small detail with a longer story.
Connect a product or package to care, a collection or its story. The metal disc pictured is an illustrative premium option; black plastic is standard.

02What it opens
The tap is only the beginning.
Hardware gets noticed. A useful destination makes the connection count. The enquiry page is live on this site; the card and brand examples are new experiences from fellow Schliff Group brands.
Keep the introduction alive.
A digital business card: an illuminated credential, the businesses behind it and a contact you can save, directly in the browser.
This example is a new design in development. Its page is not public yet.
Captures of the newest design of each destination. Pages that are not public yet are shown as captures only.Tap, scan or type.
NFC for compatible phones. A printed QR code and a readable web address provide other ways in. No dedicated Action Surface app.
One worthwhile action.
We shape the destination around the moment: save a contact, make an enquiry or explore a brand. Clear copy, comfortable on a phone.
The object can stay.
Use an address you control and the destination can change. Ownership, update access and hosting are agreed from the beginning.
03The process
From idea to first tap.
A project brings the object, the destination and the practical details into one plan.
Find the moment
Where will someone discover it, and what will make the next step worth taking? We define the audience, the placement and the purpose before choosing the object.
- Audience and environment
- One primary action
- Destination and scope

04Questions
Useful details
Straight answers on phones, apps, ownership and what happens after the tap.

Will it work with every phone?
The web destination works in a modern browser. NFC reading depends on the phone, its settings and the tag. A QR code and readable URL offer alternative routes; final hardware should be tested with the phones your audience uses.
Do customers need to install an app?
No dedicated Action Surface app is needed for the web destination. On compatible devices, tapping an NFC URL tag or scanning the QR opens a link prompt that the customer chooses to follow.
Can I change what it opens later?
Yes, if the encoded or printed address points to a page or redirect you control. We agree domain ownership, update access and ongoing hosting before production. An unmanaged third-party link is not a substitute for that plan.
Are these products available to buy now?
These are interactive design studies for a tailored project, not stocked products or final manufacturing specifications. Materials, printing, NFC encoding, quantities, lead times and fulfilment are scoped in a proposal.
Can the destination be my existing website?
Yes. We can connect to an existing page when it gives people a clear next step. If a better destination is needed, Aurenhold can design the website or digital card as part of the wider scope.
What about privacy and security?
A link touchpoint does not need to collect personal details to open a page. We use HTTPS destinations and agree ownership and access controls. Any enquiry forms or analytics on the destination need their own clear privacy choices and appropriate protection.
