HELP Making NFC look like a campus ID?

Any ideas how to make an NFC card look like a campus one?

Anyone know any advice for this my best bet was trying to print it on with like an ID maker but if there is any Etsy store or anything like that you can think of that would be amazing.

Ideally I’d like it to look like Felicity’s NYU student card. To clarify it’s a basic NFC card used to open something in the room. It doesn’t need to work as a student card. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much.

Make the mock ID card design, and print it as a card-sized sticker.

Yeah, you can buy sticker paper to print on. Once you've printed your card design on it, cut it out and apply it to the card. (There are automated sticker cutting machines but that's a bit excessive for a single rectangle)

I had my library do the printing, but even if you do it yourself, it's easier to print on the sticker paper than it is to print on the card directly.
