Q: What’s the difference between single card orders and bulk orders?
A: Single card orders are perfect for gifts, samples, or one-off pieces like VIP passes, commemorative keepsakes, and branded wallet cards. Bulk orders (20–5,000+) are ideal for business cards, product inserts, client thank-yous, promotional giveaways, or custom packaging. The main difference is pricing — we offer automatic volume discounts on large runs.
MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
Q: What are the dimensions of your custom metal business cards?
A: All of our laser engraved metal cards measure 3.4" x 2.13" and 0.42mm thick — the exact size of a standard credit card. They're built to fit seamlessly in wallets and card holders, making them ideal for branding, client gifting, or exclusive access cards.
Q: What materials do you use for your engraved metal cards?
A: We use premium anodized aluminum, available in a range of 9 colors. This material is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and engraves with crisp, silver contrast. It's durable enough for daily use, and clean enough for luxury branding.
Q: What color options do your engraved metal business cards come in?
A: We offer a curated range of anodized aluminum finishes including Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, White, Rose Gold, Silver, and Gold. All engravings reveal a bright silver contrast. Darker colors like Black and Blue offer the highest detail visibility, while lighter options give a more subtle look.
Q: How durable are your metal business cards?
A: Our anodized aluminum cards are rust-proof, non-magnetic, and resistant to patina. They’re built to last for years — in wallets, glove boxes, or pockets — without losing their edge.
Q: Do you offer custom shapes or cutouts for metal cards?
A: We specialize in Metal Business Cards. All cards are rectangular and sized like a standard credit card (3.4" x 2.13") with slightly rounded corners. We've found this format provides the best durability, engraving quality, and compatibility with wallets and card holders.
DESIGN & BRANDING
Q: Can you engrave my company logo or personalized artwork?
A: Absolutely. We engrave custom logos, artwork, photos, vector files, text, QR codes — anything you can send us digitally. We accept all major high-res formats: SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, PSD, AI. If anything looks off, we’ll reach out before engraving.

Q: Can I see a preview before you engrave my order?
A: Yes. For bulk orders and layout services, we can send you a digital mockup so you can review layout, contrast, and sizing. Nothing gets engraved until you approve it. If you're ordering a single card, upload your artwork and leave notes — we’ll reach out if anything needs adjusting.
Q: Can I reorder the same design later?
A: Definitely. We keep your artwork on file. Just reference your previous order or email, and we’ll match the design exactly — or update it if needed.
