Entry tier. One product type, one Imprint design.
Knowledge compounds. Generations of makers learned what lasts; this generation learned what's possible. We build at the seam where the two meet — physical objects with real craft in them, running on infrastructure built to modern standard.
TapptiQ is a San Diego studio at the union of artisan craft and modern technology — physical objects made by hand, running on infrastructure built to current standard.
We make the things your customers tap, run the channels that bring them in, and build the networks that keep it all online. One team handles the art, the fabrication, the network, and the social — so you get one point of contact instead of juggling a print shop, an agency, and an IT contractor who never talk to each other.
We make the physical things customers tap, run the channels that bring them in, and build the networks that keep it all online. Tappables, PayTiQ, and Surfaces on the physical side; Web, IoT, LED, and Wireless on the technical side; PostiQ for social and email — and Full Stack when a brick-and-mortar wants all of it handled by one team.
Locally fabricated. No contracts on PostiQ. One accountable team, end to end.
Every product family has a name. These are the terms we use across the studio, the site, and the conversation.
Business cards, product tags, and WiFi share cards. No bigger than a thick business card. Custom shapes available within the size limit. Imprint designs only at this tier.
Every piece ships with an embedded NFC chip and a printed QR code. Phones that don't tap can scan — nobody gets left out, and you only hand over one object.
Paper cards run out and get reprinted. A Tappable is reusable and re-writable — repoint it to a new link, profile, or promo without ordering anything new.
3D-printed solid, not laminated paper or peeling vinyl. It survives wallets, pockets, counters, and weather — the chip and code keep working.
Entry tier. One product type, one Imprint design.
Volume discount kicks in. Same product type, same design.
For active networkers, small retail tag runs, events.
Trade shows, full inventory tagging, team rollouts.

Raised border bezel with recessed center field. Premium object feel, hides edge layer lines.
38mm disc with integrated hang loop. The universal retail and product tag.
35mm rounded-square with corner hang hole. Reads modern and tech-forward.
Monolith base with WiFi glyph. Writes a WIFI: record — tap to join, no password typing.
70mm weighted coaster that stays put. For cafes, salons, Airbnbs, waiting rooms.
Imprints are our fast lane — but they're just the start. We do fully custom and unique designs built around your brand, your shape, your story. If you can picture it, ask about our premium design offerings and we'll build something nobody else has.

Up to 10 hours of service over six months. Pick and choose your initial work: a predictive heatmap with AP placement and network design plus an active validation survey — or start with an active survey to troubleshoot and optimize a problematic existing network. Includes channel planning and spectrum / airwave-utilization analysis to mitigate interference, with data-backed configuration suggestions. The package may include a second visit before the six months are up (never exceeding the 10 hours — anything beyond is billed at standard industry rates). All work includes documentation and reports.

We build the physical brand presence — Tappables, PayTiQ, Surfaces. We deploy the network and IoT or LED layer through Wired. We run the digital presence through PostiQ. For storefronts opening, rebranding, or upgrading. No public price. Consultation only.
Why TapptiQ instead of the agency or the print shop?
The questions we get most, answered straight.
No competitor in San Diego bundles 3D-printed NFC art, social automation, custom web, and wireless networking. Most do one. We do all four — so the people who make your physical brand are the same people running your network and your social.
CompTIA A+ and Network+ certified, CWNA-trained, with 1000+ hands-on hours on UniFi / Ubiquiti and a decade-plus of IT across small-to-medium commercial environments. Most web shops won't touch your WiFi — we've been running it for years.
Decorative NFC payment objects — a category we created. They don't exist as a product anywhere else, so there's nothing to comparison-shop. It's a new shelf in the store.
No. Pay monthly, cancel anytime. Every other agency in town locks you into 6-to-12 months at $2,000+. We don't believe in contract traps.
Every Tappable and PayTiQ is 3D-printed in our San Diego studio — not drop-shipped. Real lead times, real iteration, real conversation with the maker.
One team handles the art, the fabrication, the network, and the social. You don't juggle a print shop, a marketing agency, and an IT contractor who never talk to each other. One point of contact, one accountable team.
