How to Use the N-Mark

The N-Mark flexible system has been developed to allow companies options for integration within their products, packaging, marketing, etc. The system consists of four variations on the N-Mark which can be used interchangeably, depending on your needs and/or preferences.  

These four marks may be used to indicate an NFC touchpoint and/or to indicate when NFC has been activated, or is “on”, in a device. While you may choose to use any one of the four marks for this purpose, Version 1 is recommended when there is limited space for the N-Mark, such as on a mobile phone. Versions 3 and 4 are good choices in cases where having the NFC letters attached to the N-Mark helps to identify the technology for the consumer.
