# NFC-Enabled Guitar Picks DutchPicks' Custom-Printed Guitar Picks Help Bands & Artists Engage Fans By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-05-27 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-guitar-picks References: [nfcw](https://www.nfcw.com/2020/05/27/366666/dutchpicks-integrates-nfc-tags-into-guitar-picks/) & [dutchpicks](https://dutchpicks.com/) To help musicians make additional revenue and engage their fans in a meaningful way, DutchPicks created custom-printed guitar picks that are enabled with [NFC technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-tag). The NFC-integrated picks can be scanned with a mobile device so that fans can instantly access exclusive content like video clips, backstage images or even a newly released song or album. According to DutchPicks, "Even after purchase it is possible to change the content of the picks. In the near future, it will also be possible to use the guitar picks as an admission ticket." Because the picks are custom-printed, they can take on a look and feel to support different artists. Already, DutchPicks has created picks for [Coldplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-nation-shuffle-tickets), [AC/DC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricwrapped), Kiss, Adele and more.
