Square Photo Dog Tag, 28 mm
A square frame for a pet portrait
A square face frames a portrait like a photo print, which is why the CG-PET-EPX-SQ28 is our square photo tag. The 28 mm square CG-PET-EPX-SQ28 is a full-color PVC or PET card sealed under a clear epoxy dome on both faces, approximately 4–5 mm thick and 3.5–4 g in weight. Add a genuine NXP NTAG213 chip and the CG-PET-EPX-SQ28 opens the pet profile with a tap as well as a scan. We quote the CG-PET-EPX-SQ28 at US$0.35 to 1.20 per piece between 100 and 999 tags and ship samples from a single tag.
