Why Choose the Battery‑Free NFC Electronic Labels?

Jan 29,2026
In today's fast‑paced retail and logistics environments, businesses increasingly demand flexible. Battery‑free NFC electronic labels offer a unique combination of ease of use, low maintenance, and on‑demand updates. They bridge the gap between static paper tags and fully networked electronic shelf labels.
What Are Battery‑Free NFC E‑Paper Labels?
NFC powered e‑paper labels are wireless electronic labels that combine NFC (Near Field Communication) technology with ultra‑low‑power e‑paper displays. Unlike traditional electronic shelf labels (ESLs) that require a dedicated network and battery power, these labels don't require batteries. They are updated through NFC scanning with a smartphone or NFC writer, and utilize e‑paper technology for excellent readability and low power consumption.

4. We provide a controller and card reader solution, allowing content to be modified directly through a web-based interface on a computer. This enables flexible operation without any development, while still allowing card data to be written via the web.

Battery‑Free NFC Electronic Labels Features
🔄 Zero Power Maintenance
Since these NFC labels don’t need batteries, they eliminate battery replacement costs, downtime due to power failure, and environmental waste.

📍 Fast and Flexible Updates
With battery‑free NFC labels, you can update pricing or product information on the fly, or reassign tags to different items.

📊 Ideal for Asset Tracking and Identification
Beyond pricing, battery‑free NFC e‑paper labels are excellent for asset tagging, for example: mark equipment or tools, display status codes or inventory IDs, or use NFC scanning to pull up detailed asset info.

For businesses looking to adopt this technology, here are two excellent options that combine flexibility and durability, the only difference between the two is the color of the casing and the size. Both models support NFC‑based updates and deliver excellent readability in various lighting conditions.
