The antenna inside a Burner runs around the entire perimeter to ensure optimal read range, allowing it to be scanned effectively from various angles. This design enhances reliability and ease of use.

However, a bend that severs the antenna will prevent the Burner from scanning, as the chip relies on the antenna for power and communication with your device. To mitigate this risk, Burner is built with rigidity to protect it from damage, but careful handling will further ensure its longevity.
