For filament manufacturers

Launch a smart filament ecosystem in days, not years.

One spool. One digital identity across the entire lifecycle — written on your production line, recognised by every printer and every app.

Your spool works in every printer
One neutral chip, readable everywhere. Not one chip per ecosystem, and never silence outside a single brand.
No permission to ask
No machine maker sits between you and being recognised. The protocol is open and belongs to no printer brand.
Your product data stays yours
You maintain your own catalogue in TigerTag Manager. It is never deposited in someone else's ecosystem.

Proof of origin

A counterfeit of your brand becomes detectable.

Every TigerTag+ chip carries a signature only TigerTag can issue. A cloned tag fails verification — on your customer's own phone. Grey-market and counterfeit spools are your loss today; with TigerTag+ they identify themselves.

Never frozen

Fix a temperature six months after the spools shipped.

The fear with NFC is burning 50,000 spools with wrong data. With TigerTag+ that fear disappears: correct the value in TigerTag Manager, and every spool already in the world shows the corrected data. Every app picks it up. Nobody recalls anything, nobody touches a spool.

Reduce support, increase margin
A print with wrong settings becomes a support ticket, a refund, a one-star review. A spool that hands the printer its own settings makes that cost disappear.
Very low cost per spool
TigerTag produces for the whole industry and buys at scale — a unit price no single brand reaches alone. On the brands already shipping it, that cost doesn't move the retail price their customers pay.*
Turnkey
The tags, the production-line integration, the catalogue tooling, the public registry — and free apps your customers already use.

* Observed on the retail price of spools from the brands already shipping TigerTag: the cost per spool is low enough that it does not move the price their end customers pay. It is not free for the factory — it is simply small enough to absorb.

And it's an open standard. Nobody can take it away from you — including us.

How the tag gets into your spools

A carrier, not a retooling. It holds two independent chips — one at each folded end, each with its own UID — so the spool reads from either side; the middle holds with 3M double-sided tape. Your operator peels and sticks — nothing else on the line changes.

Front — as it ships — Back — 3M adhesive, ready to stick

Ready-made, in stock, on your line in 48 hours

Producing a carrier like this fast, at production scale and at a low unit cost is genuinely hard — it is the part most projects underestimate. We solved it once, for everyone: one single part manufactured for every factory, so nobody pays for the tooling or the lead time twice. TigerTag produces hundreds of thousands of them in advance and holds stock in Europe and in China, ready to ship.

The design is public — anyone can print one at home. Nothing about this part is proprietary, and nothing locks you to us. Download the file ↗

And this is what reaches the shelf

Production packaging, photographed as it ships. The mark on the box tells a buyer the spool inside carries its own identity — before they have opened anything.
