CG-PET-EPX-SQ23 Size and Photos
A 23 mm square has more printable area than a 23 mm round, so the QR code can be a little larger. The rounded corners keep it soft on a cat collar.
The sample hangs from a silver-tone ring with a short chain; every CG-PET-EPX-SQ23 can be supplied with silver, gold or antique bronze rings, chain links or swivel clips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CG-PET-EPX-SQ23 cost per piece?

What is the weight of the CG-PET-EPX-SQ23 without the ring?
Approximately 2.5 to 3 g for the 23 mm square size, at a thickness of approximately 4 to 5 mm.
Does a 23 mm square hold a bigger QR code than a 23 mm round?

Why do you use genuine NXP chips in the CG-PET-EPX-SQ23?
Original NXP chips in the 23 mm square tag respond quickly on the first tap and keep their data for 10 years per the NXP datasheet, while generic compatible chips are often slower and less durable.

Both are available. We print the 23 mm square design on a PVC or PET card and seal it under clear epoxy; tell us which base your market prefers.
Can the CG-PET-EPX-SQ23 be made under my brand?
Yes. We print your logo and artwork on the 23 mm square tag, encode your NFC URLs and pack the tags on your branded cards, with no CedaGlo mark on the product.
