How much do metal business cards cost?

Short answer: they ain't cheap! But It all depends on the type of metal, the thickness, and the design. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from $2 to $10 per card. Expect even more if the cards are made from precious metals like gold or platinum.

Can metal business cards have a QR code?

Yes, you can put a QR code on a metal business card. You can do this by silk screening the code onto the metal or by applying a sticker label with the code printed on it.

Etching vs Engraving vs Laser Cutting

Each of these methods has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

Chemical etching is a process that uses an acid to eat away at the metal, leaving behind the design. It's a fairly cheap process, and can be used to create fairly detailed designs. However, it can also be quite dangerous, as the acid can be harmful if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.

Metal engraving is a process that uses a sharp tool to carve away the metal, leaving behind the design. It's a more expensive process than chemical etching, but it's also much safer. It produces less detail than chemical etching, but it does produce a cleaner finish.

Laser cutting is a manufacturing process that uses a laser to cut materials, usually metals, by melting them with the laser beam. This creates very precise cuts and engravings with a high degree of accuracy. This method is employed when a metal card requires a cut all the way through or an interesting custom shape around the perimeter / edge.

Do you offer gold metal business cards?

Yes, we offer both faux gold and real 24k gold plating. Gold is a popular color for business cards because it conveys wealth and power. However, it's important to note that most clients can't afford the expense of gold plating.

That said, if you're looking to make a bold statement with your business card, there's no better way to do it than with real gold. It'll definitely set you apart from the competition!

Do you offer rose gold metal business cards?

Yes, we offer rose gold metal business cards in a brushed, mirror, or sand blasted finish. Our metal cards are made from stainless steel and are the perfect way to make a lasting impression. They are also very durable and won't bend or tear like traditional paper cards.

Do you have other metal looking business cards?

Yes, we actually have a few types of metallic paper that we can use for business cards. We also offer hot foil stamping, which gives your cards a really unique look and feel. If you're interested in either of these options, please let us know and we'd be happy to provide you with a quote. Thanks!

Do you offer metal business cards with with NFC?

Yes, we do offer metal business cards with NFC. NFC, or near-field communication, is a technology that allows two devices to exchange data when they are in close proximity to each other. This makes it the perfect technology for business cards, as it allows your contact information to be transferred seamlessly from your business card to your contact's phone.

Do you offer white metal business cards?

Yes we do! In fact, we offer black, white, and many other anodized colors. We can also print on a variety of different materials, such as aluminum or titanium. If you're looking for a unique and sophisticated business card that will stand out from the rest, our white metal cards are a great option!
