Datasheets, EPC Templates, Artwork & Compliance Downloads
Quick answer
Free, no-form-required downloads that procurement, engineering and brand teams need before placing an RFID or NFC order. Chip datasheets in PDF, GS1 SGTIN-96 encoding templates in Excel, hotel-key-card artwork templates in PDF/AI, DSCSA compliance white papers, NDEF programming cheatsheets, and the Proud Tek sample-pack request brief. Files are version-controlled and refreshed when the underlying chip or regulation changes.
- Direct downloads. No gating form, no email signup wall — most procurement teams need these files in their first sprint and we are not in the business of slowing that down.
- Eight files spanning chip datasheets, GS1 SGTIN-96 encoding templates, hotel key card artwork templates, NDEF programming cheatsheets, DSCSA compliance white papers and the sample-pack request brief.
- Files carry version numbers + last-reviewed dates so you can re-verify the current revision before a production order.

When to use these files
Before requesting a sample pack — read the chip family datasheet first so you can specify the exact part number on the request. Before encoding a production batch — open...
What is NOT here
Production-grade chip datasheets that contain trade-secret information (NXP DESFire EV3 internals, Impinj M730 register maps). Those are NDA-only — request from your Pro...

Request a sample pack with these files in mindBrowse the resource library
Eight downloads, all current as of May 2026. Each card lists file type, size, version and last-reviewed date.
Files open in your browser; right-click to save. If a file is broken or out of date, ping info@proudtek.com — we'll refresh it within one business day. All PDFs are linearised for in-browser preview; templates ship as XLSX, PDF, AI and ZIP depending on what makes the most sense to edit.
Chip family reference cards
One-page or two-page reference cards summarising chip memory, read range, security profile, smartphone compatibility, typical use cases and the closest Proud Tek SKU. Use these to spec the chip family on a request without opening the full datasheet.
- EM4100 / EM4305 / T5577 — LF 125 kHz reference card (2 pp PDF).
- MIFARE Classic / Plus / DESFire EV3 — HF 13.56 MHz hotel & access reference card (2 pp PDF).
- NTAG213 / 215 / 216 — NFC marketing card reference card (1 pp PDF).
- NTAG424 DNA — authenticated NFC + SDM reference card (2 pp PDF).
- Impinj Monza R6-P / UCODE 8 / 9 / Higgs-9 — UHF RAIN reference card (2 pp PDF).
Encoding & artwork templates
Editable templates for the most common encoding and artwork tasks. Open in Excel, Adobe Illustrator or any standard tooling.
- GS1 SGTIN-96 EPC encoding template — XLSX with company-prefix / item-reference / serial-number columns + a 24-bit GS1 prefix calculator.
- Hotel key card CMYK artwork template — AI + PDF, 85 × 54 mm bleed-safe, chip antenna position marked, magnetic-stripe omit lane indicated.
- Apparel hang-tag inlay placement template — PDF, marks the Monza R6-P antenna footprint so artwork avoids antenna interference.
- NDEF record cheatsheet — 1 pp PDF covering URL, vCard, text and launch-app NDEF types with byte-budget tables for NTAG213/215/216.
Compliance & buying briefs
Documents your compliance and procurement teams need to keep on file.
- DSCSA item-level RFID compliance brief — PDF, cites 21 CFR Part 121 + the FDA's Lightweight Verification API specification.
- EU Digital Product Passport (ESPR) implementation brief — PDF, walks through the 2027 enforcement timeline for batteries, textiles, electronics.
- Proud Tek sample-pack request brief — 1 pp PDF describing how to scope a sample pack request for the fastest possible specialist reply.

FAQ
Why are the downloads not gated behind a form?
Because the procurement teams that use them have already decided to consider Proud Tek. Gating documentation that helps them spec the right chip just slows their week-1 evaluation. We track downloads in our analytics so we can see which files matter; we do not need your email to do that. If you want to start a specialist conversation, use the sample-pack form or the RFQ wizard — both are voluntary.
How often are the files updated?
Chip reference cards are reviewed quarterly and any time the chip vendor publishes a new revision (the NXP NTAG424 DNA SDM specification was last refreshed in March 2026; our reference card carries the corresponding `Last reviewed 2026-04`). Compliance briefs are reviewed any time the underlying regulation changes (FDA published DSCSA Section 582 enforcement guidance in November 2024; the brief was refreshed the following week).
Can I redistribute these files?
Yes, internally within your buyer organisation. The files are designed to circulate inside procurement, engineering, design and compliance teams. We ask that you not republish them on a public website — link to this page instead so your readers always get the current revision.
I need a file that isn't here. Can you build one?
Often, yes — if it's a procurement-facing template that other buyers will also use. Email info@proudtek.com with the use case and we'll evaluate whether to build it. Customer-specific work (your-artwork, your-SGTIN-prefix) stays in your project folder and not here.
