Survives the toolbox,
the rain, and the wash.

Paper cards don't survive the back of a ute.

🚿 Wet wallet syndrome

You finish a job, hand over a card, customer puts it in their wet jumper pocket. Bin by Tuesday. ZapCard is matte-black PVC — it goes through the washing machine and comes out fine. Tested.

📞 Number changed last year

You moved suburbs, switched providers, your bookkeeper wanted you to put a Google Voice line on cards. Every change = printer trip + 200 stale cards in the truck. ZapCard updates from your phone in seconds.

⭐ Reviews on paper = 0 conversions

Customer wants to vouch you to their neighbour. With paper, they screenshot it and text. With ZapCard, they tap their phone to the neighbour's, and your live profile (with review link, recent jobs, after-hours line) loads on the neighbour's screen.

Five touchpoints for trade work

1. At quote handover

Tap your card to the customer's phone when you hand over the quote. They've got your number saved — no awkward "let me find that note you scribbled on a coffee receipt" moment two weeks later.

2. At job completion

Tap at the end of a job. Customer sees the same profile + a "Leave me a Google review" link right there. Reviews go up. Repeat work follows.

3. On the truck signage

Print your slug on the truck door + magnetic sign. Drivers behind you in traffic snap a photo, tap, save. Lead pipeline from a stationary truck.

4. At the supplier counter

Tap to other tradies at the wholesale counter. Subby networks form fast. "I might need a sparkie next week" moment lands in your favour because your details are already in their phone.

5. At expo + open day events

Five cards, tap-to-every-meaningful-handshake. The matte-black + silver bolt looks like a brand, not a homebrew print-shop job.

Quick answers

Does the chip survive being banged around in a toolbox?

The chip is sealed between two PVC layers. Drops, knocks, and dirt don't reach it. Direct impact with metal cutters might damage it — but at that point your paper card would be confetti anyway.

Will it work with grease / dirt on my hands?

Yes. NFC works through clothing, gloves, and dirt. The customer's phone reads the chip from up to 4cm away.

Can I get one with my company logo printed on it?

First batch is matte-black + silver bolt only. From batch 2, custom co-branded cards for crew orders of 25+. Email us if interested.
