Small Round Metal Frame Cat Tag
The lightest frame in our range, made for cats and small dogs
The CG-PET-SSF-RA27X30 is our smallest stainless steel frame: a 27 × 30 mm round rim with a hanging loop that holds a Ø22.8 mm photo epoxy insert. The steel closes tightly over the edge of the insert, so the print and the NFC chip are protected from knocks, while a QR code and ID number sit on the back. The sample shows a navy insert with a gold paw and laurel on a silver frame. US$0.60 to 1.20 per tag for 100 to 999 pieces; one sample can be ordered.

CG-PET-SSF-RA27X30 Dimensions

A 27 × 30 mm frame is the closest a metal tag gets to the weight of a plain epoxy tag, which is why we suggest it for cats and toy breeds. The molded hanging loop keeps the ring off the insert, so the whole 22.8 mm circle shows the photo.
A Ø25 mm split ring comes fitted to every RA27X30, and a silver frame can be swapped for gold plating on the same mold.

Chip Options for the CG-PET-SSF-RA27X30
Every CG-PET-SSF-RA27X30 insert carries a genuine NXP NTAG213 as standard, not a generic compatible chip, so a phone tap on the 27 x 30 mm frame opens the profile quickly. NXP rates the NTAG21x for 10-year data retention and an operating distance of up to 10 cm with a suitable reader; through the 27 x 30 mm steel frame the tag is read with a close tap, which is how NFC pet tags are used.
| Technology | Chips | Typical use | On the CG-PET-SSF-RA27X30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| QR code (no chip) | Printed QR code with an ID number, static or unique per tag | Any phone camera; lowest cost per tag | Standard |
| NFC 13.56 MHz | Genuine NXP NTAG213, 144-byte memory | Tap-to-open pet profile URL on iPhone and Android | Standard |
| NFC 13.56 MHz | Genuine NXP NTAG215 (504 bytes) or NTAG216 (888 bytes) | Longer records such as a vCard or several links | On request |
