Corporate Gifting With One Good Card: Personalised NFC Business Cards For Your Clients

Most corporate gifts are forgotten within a few weeks. The ones that last are the ones people use every week.

A personalised One Good Card NFC business card is a corporate gift made for one person, with their name and details on it, that they use every time they meet someone new.

TL;DR: A personalised NFC business card makes a lasting corporate gift because it is made for the recipient and used at every meeting. It carries their name and details, stays up to date without reprinting, and works without an app. Walnut and Obsidian cards can be laser engraved, your branding goes on custom packaging, and there is no minimum order.

Why do most corporate gifts get forgotten?

Most corporate gifts are forgotten because they are only useful once. A hamper gets eaten, a desk ornament gets put away, and after that the recipient has no reason to think about the gift again.

Most are also generic. The same hamper or bottle goes to every client on the list, so nothing about it says it was chosen for them. Instead, a gift personalised for one person, with their own name on it, is much harder to forget.

Why does an NFC business card make a good corporate gift?

An NFC business card makes a good corporate gift because it is made for the recipient and used in their own work, week after week. Each time they share it, your gift is in use.

1. It is made for them

Each card is printed or engraved with the recipient's name, and can carry their title and a design chosen for them. It reads as a gift chosen for one person, and it is only useful to that person.

2. It gets used at every meeting

The recipient taps the card on a phone, or lets someone scan the QR code, and their contact details open instantly. For anyone who meets clients, attends events or works in sales, that is several times a week.

A gift used this often keeps your company in mind long after the season it was given in.

3. It stays up to date

The card links to a hosted digital name card that the recipient sets up and edits themselves, so they can change their job title, phone number or company without a new card. A promotion or a job move does not make the gift obsolete.

This also matters for staff gifts, where a card that has to be reprinted after every change becomes a cost.

4. It works without an app

The people your recipient meets do not need to download anything. They tap the card with an NFC-enabled phone or scan the QR code, and the profile opens in their browser. Read more on how NFC business cards work.

What does the recipient get beyond the card?

Every card comes with a digital name card, and recipients can also use One Good Card's networking tools in their own business. Some tools depend on the plan they choose:

• Digital name card with links, social accounts, a portfolio, booking pages and media, shared by NFC tap, QR code or profile link
• Analytics on profile views, taps, scans and link clicks, so they can see what people engage with
• Contact form on their profile, so the people they meet can leave details in return
• Contact manager and deal pipeline for following up on the conversations the card starts
• Email verification to check contact emails before sending
• Invoicing to bill clients from the same account

For clients who run their own business or manage a sales pipeline, this turns the gift into a tool they can build their networking around.

What are your corporate gift options?

We offer an array of corporate gifts, and you can mix them in a single order so different recipient lists receive different gifts.

1. NFC business cards

Create a personalised corporate gift that's truly meaningful and unique. Choose from our in-house designs or fully customise your digital business card to reflect your company’s branding. Make each card a standout representation of your brand with your company's name, logos, or ethos.

2. Networking accessories

Minis are NFC stickers with an adhesive back that attach to a phone, so the recipient can share their details without carrying a card. They come in black, white and prism, or custom printed in full colour with your design.

The One Good Ring is an NFC smart ring that shares the wearer's details with a tap of the hand. It comes in two versions: the original in hybrid ceramic, and One Good Ring 2 with a tungsten steel core. Minis and rings link to the wearer's digital name card, just like a card.

3. Networking kits and bundles

Curated networking kits and bundles combine NFC business cards, card holders, Minis and rings into one gift set. The Duo-Flip MagSafe card holder also doubles as a phone stand. Our curated bundles include digital business cards, stylish card holders, minis and/or rings for a complete gifting experience. Show them that you care about their success and the environment with a gift that’s both practical and innovative. 

How can you personalise each gift?

Each card can carry the recipient's name, title and contact details, with a design chosen for them or for the occasion. You approve a digital artwork proof before production starts.

1. Full-colour UV printing

Custom PVC cards are printed in full colour, edge to edge, so each card can carry the recipient's name alongside artwork designed for them or for the occasion. Darker, richer colours print best. Refer to this blog article on how to design your custom NFC business card.

2. Laser engraving

Walnut wood and Obsidian metal cards can be laser engraved with the recipient's name, which suits premium gifts for executives and key clients. Engraved text cannot be corrected after production, so check spellings carefully on the proof.

3. Custom packaging

Your company branding goes on the packaging. Custom gift packaging carries your logo, brand colours and a message, so the gift arrives clearly from you and the card inside stays personal to the recipient.

Can you personalise corporate gifts live at an event?

Yes. With NFC live printing, guests design their own NFC business card at a self-service kiosk and receive it printed in under 10 seconds. Each card links to their own digital name card, which they can activate on the spot.

A client appreciation event is about the guest. Each guest designs their own card at the kiosk, with their name on it. It is printed in front of them, so it feels personal from the moment they receive it. They leave with a card they will use at their next meeting.

The kiosk also gives guests a reason to stop and talk to your team while their card prints, which is useful at an event built around relationships.

Live printing is also used at conferences, exhibitions and trade shows, product launches, networking events, brand activations, career fairs and roadshows. See how it worked at Visier's Outsmart Local Singapore, Check Point at NCS Impact 2025 and Temasek Polytechnic.

What you need to know to run a live printing booth

• Space: a booth or table of around 2m x 1m with access to power
• Set-up time: one hour before the event starts
• Capacity: typically 200 to 350 personalised cards per hour
• Staffing: our team runs the kiosk and supports guests on-site

Enquire about live printing with your event date and expected guest numbers.

Can you gift personalised cards to your own team too?

Yes. Cards gifted to your own staff become part of how the company works. Everyone gets a card with their own name and current details, and the company manages them from one place.

With One Good Card for Teams, admins can:

• Keep company details consistent across every profile
• Manage profiles centrally when titles, phone numbers or office addresses change
• Reassign cards when someone leaves, so the card goes to the next person
• See team analytics on how cards are being used across the company

Is an NFC business card a sustainable corporate gift?

Yes. One card replaces the paper business cards a person would otherwise print and reprint after every promotion, job move or rebrand. Walnut cards are made from sustainably sourced Sapele wood.

For the full comparison, see paper vs One Good Card and our sustainability commitments.

How does ordering corporate gifts work?

Ordering takes four steps, with no minimum order quantity:

1. Send an enquiry with your occasion, budget, quantity and event date.
2. Choose your gifts from ready-made, customised, sustainable or premium options.
3. Approve the artwork proof before production begins.
4. Receive your order ready for your event or team distribution.

Singapore orders typically take around 1 week, and international orders 2-3 weeks. Tiered bulk discounts apply to larger orders.

Plan your corporate gifts

A corporate gift works best when it is made for the recipient and still in use months later. A personalised NFC business card does both, and custom packaging makes sure it arrives clearly from you.
