Our Designers Specialize in Metal Card Design
Metal Card Design Details

We start with medical grade Type 304 Stainless Steel – if you’ve ever bought kitchen knives, the steel quality and Rockwell Hardness (RC) matter. Utilizing high quality steel ensures our product won’t rust, bend, or wear easily. That’s the Metal Kard Quality Guarantee.

We start with raw sheets of virgin stainless steel. Then we cut, print and etch (engrave) your cards to order. We brilliantly plate the cards in the color of your choosing, like our luxurious Matte Black and Brushed Gunmetal Black Metal, for a durable sheen only Real Metal can get. Black metal card finishes in the same quality as antique hardware, and executive black metal credit cards.

Printing with ultra-fine silkscreen, we use an enamel paint made for metal, mixed in vibrant colors. The combination of processes we’ve developed ensure heavy duty, wear-resistant metal business cards nobody can compete with.

SILKSCREEN PRINTING AND FULL COLOR METAL PRINTS

Durable enamel inks make the difference – when other companies may scratch and flake, MetalKards™ uses only the best “made for metal” screenprint inks and ultra-fine screens for detailed quality. We use the Pantone Matching System® (PMS) for spot color silkscreen, or we can print in Full Color CMYK for gradients, photos and more.

SPARKLING METALLIC INKS FOR CUSTOM METAL CARDS

Add a special look and sheen with metallic inks in gold, bronze, and silver. We can use these for printing a brilliant metallic ink that has a sparkle similar to glitter in the inks – etch+fill or variable printing will give your cards that extra special bit of pizzazz.
