Our Production Processes are Second to None

GENUINE 304 STAINLESS STEEL

Just like the difference between a bargain knife and a chef’s blade, not all steel is created equal. We craft our cards from brand-new Type 304 stainless steel — a surgical-grade alloy prized for its exceptional strength and lasting durability. We start with sheets of metal and cut your custom personalized cards to order. You’ll notice the quality immediately in the solid weight and the firm resistance to bending. Don’t settle for copies.

PRECISION CUT OUTS & ENGRAVING

Our standard etching / engraving process is milled cleanly into the metal surface for a rich, debossed look — included at no extra cost. We also use laser etching, which personally marks the surface to reveal the raw silver tone of the stainless steel beneath. Cutouts—from custom card shapes to precise logo die-cuts—are also included free of charge, giving every personalized design a truly custom edge.

SILKSCREEN PRINTING AND FULL COLOR METAL PRINTS

It’s the finish that separates premium from ordinary. While cheaper competitors use inks that fade or flake, MetalKards™ relies on durable, enamel-based screen print inks engineered specifically for metal. We print using ultra-fine screens for sharp, detailed results and color consistency. Choose from Pantone® spot colors for exact brand matching, or go with our full-color CMYK printing to capture gradients, photos, and complex artwork with exceptional clarity.

FROSTED, PRISM, ENGRAVING AND DEEP ETCHING

Every order includes standard etching or engraving at no cost, which removes roughly 10% of the metal depth for clean, tactile detail. For an even bolder effect, we offer Deep Etching—up to 50% depth, ideal for thicker cards and dramatic contrast. Our Frosted Etch finish gives a fractal, multi-faceted texture reminiscent of raw gemstones, while Prism Etch creates a refined, knurled pattern for a high-end, uniform shimmer.

VARIABLE PRINTING AND ETCHING FOR NAMES AND NUMBERS

Need each card to feature unique information — like numbered editions (#001–#100), employee names, or job titles such as CEO or CFO? We can make it happen. Our precision laser etching reveals the bright silver finish of raw stainless steel, or we can silkscreen print your variable data in any color imaginable — truly anything under the rainbow.

Credit Card Magstrip Backing

MAGNET CARDS, ADHESIVE PLATES, AND CREDIT CARD MAGSTRIP GIFT CARDS

Transform your card into something more than a keepsake. Add magnetic backing to turn it into a fridge magnet, or choose adhesive backing for use on premium cabinetry, metal fixtures, countertops, HVAC units, or industrial products. For access control and scanning, we can integrate LoCo or HiCo magstripes, making your card functional for credit and key card systems alike.

SPARKLING METALLIC INKS FOR CUSTOM METAL CARDS

Bring extra shine and dimension to your design with metallic inks in gold, bronze, or silver. These shimmering pigments catch light beautifully, creating a sparkle effect similar to fine glitter. Combine this with etch-and-fill detailing or variable printing to give your cards a one-of-a-kind brilliance and unforgettable presence.

Frequently Asked Questions ( F.A.Q. )

Saving you time and money, we only believe in products that accentuate and bring success to our customers.

A custom metal card is a premium alternative to paper cards, crafted from stainless steel or other metals for a durable, luxury finish. Each card can be custom personalized with your logo, contact details, and unique design features. Unlike traditional paper cards, metal cards make a strong first impression and last for years without fading or bending.

The best thickness depends on your style and purpose. Our most popular custom metal business cards are 0.5 mm thick, offering the perfect balance of weight and flexibility. Thinner cards (around 0.3 mm) are lighter and cost-effective, while thicker options (0.7 mm–1.0 mm) provide a heavy, ultra-premium feel for those who want a personalized luxury card experience.

Creating authentic luxury metal cards starts with selecting your base finish — such as brushed stainless, black, gold, or copper. From there, you can add custom personalized touches like deep etching, cutouts, metallic inks, and variable laser details. Our design team will help you refine every detail to ensure your cards look as premium and professional as your brand.

Yes! QR codes work perfectly on metal business cards. We can etch or print your QR code directly onto the surface so it scans instantly with any smartphone. This is one of the most popular personalized features today — linking your card to your website, social media, or digital contact page in a single tap.

Most pro designers to beginners are using a vector design program like Adobe® Illustrator. Take note of our guidelines, tolerances, and requirements in our FREE Metal Card Template, that’ll give you the basic layout and options to kickstart your design! Or, we’ll design them for you with our Card Design Package.

Absolutely. Different metal finishes like matte black, brushed silver, gold, or rose tones enhance your design and express your brand’s personality. A quality finish not only improves appearance but also increases durability. Choosing the right custom finish ensures your cards stand out while reflecting your professional image.

Pricing varies by finish, quantity, and customization. Most custom personalized metal cards range from $2 to $8 per card, depending on options like etching depth, color printing, or magnetic strips. Every card is built from premium stainless steel — an investment in quality, longevity, and unforgettable presentation.

Custom personalized metal business cards bring a touch of modern sophistication to any industry. They’re more than just contact cards — they’re a symbol of quality, creativity, and attention to detail. Businesses across a wide range of fields use them to elevate their brand presence and leave a lasting impression:

  • Boutique Coffee Shops & Cafés: Use custom metal cards for loyalty programs or exclusive promotions that feel as premium as your craft coffee.

  • Artisan Jewelers & Designers: Offer personalized metal cards to VIP clients, reinforcing the luxury and exclusivity of your brand.

  • Custom Bicycle & Automotive Shops: Include metal cards as part of high-end service packages or membership rewards for enthusiasts who value design and precision.

  • Boutique Hotels & Luxury Inns: Present guests with custom personalized cards for room upgrades, amenities, or special experiences — a keepsake they’ll remember long after checkout.

  • Craft Breweries & Distilleries: Use metal cards for limited releases or tasting memberships, appealing to customers who appreciate refined, collectible branding.

  • High-End Trades & Services: From cabinetry and restoration to HVAC and plumbing, custom metal cards convey craftsmanship and reliability in industries where quality materials matter.

  • Architectural & Design Firms: Impress clients with personalized metal cards that reflect the creativity and precision behind your projects.
