Why Do I Need a Blank Link Card?

Last updated: 28 May, 2026

The blank link card is a flexible tool for managing NFC stickers you haven’t decided uses for yet. Bought a batch of NFC stickers but only have plans for half of them? Open the rest as blank link cards — later, when you have an idea, just change the link in the dashboard. No need to buy new stickers.

Why does this card type exist?

OMIPOKA’s NFC stickers are rewritable, but every rewrite means touching a phone to them. The blank link card lets you write NFC once, then change the destination link in the dashboard — no rewrite, no phone needed.

Typical scenarios

📦 Scenario A: Bought a batch, still planning uses

Bought 10 buttons but only 3 have planned uses? Open the other 7 as blank link cards — change destinations later from the dashboard, no rewrites required.

Client wants to see your portfolio / Google Drive folder / online résumé? Hand them a blank link card and paste the URL in the dashboard. They tap and view — more polished than reciting URLs or pasting on LINE.

🔄 Scenario C: Event / marketing rotation

5 cards at a booth pointing to the current event page. When the event ends, switch them to the next campaign — no reprint, no rewrite.

Ready to use out of the box: we encode it for you + tap-time phishing protection

Don’t want to write the NFC yourself with an Android phone? Tick “Let us encode it for you” at checkout and enter the URL you want it to point to. We’ll burn the chip and publish the card before it ships — so the moment your embroidered button arrives, you can just tap and go, with no need to sign in and set anything up. Haven’t decided where it should point yet? Leave the field blank and set it later from the dashboard.

More importantly, every custom link card comes with built-in phishing protection:

  • Checked at checkout: the URL you enter is matched in real time against known phishing/malicious-site databases. If there’s a problem it’s blocked on the spot and payment can’t go through — you won’t find out only after it ships.
  • Checked again on tap: before anyone who taps your card is redirected, the system checks once more. Even if a site is only reported as phishing later on, it gets stopped before the redirect and a safety warning page is shown instead — protecting everyone who taps the card.
  • See it before you go: after a tap, the destination URL is shown with a 3-second countdown before it opens, so the other person can confirm where they’re headed rather than being sent off silently (the card owner can turn this confirmation page off in the editor for an instant redirect).

In short: convenient, without cutting corners on safety. Enter the URL once, tap to use it the moment it arrives — and both you and anyone who taps your card get a layer of anti-fraud protection.

How does it compare to the business card?
