Frequently Asked Questions

Anodized aluminum cards are considerably more durable than traditional paper business cards.

They are resistant to normal moisture, bending, tearing, and everyday handling, and the engraved design will not peel away like printed ink.

Their durability makes them well suited for wallets, card holders, offices, displays, and other long-term use.

Our standard metal cards measure approximately 3.4 × 2.13 inches and .43mm thick.

That is close to the footprint of a standard credit or bank card, making them easy to carry in most wallets, card holders, and lanyard holders.

We currently offer Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, White, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold anodized aluminum cards.

Engraved areas typically reveal the reflective aluminum underneath the anodized coating. Darker colors such as black, blue, red, green, and purple often produce especially strong visual contrast.

You can view finished examples in our metal card gallery.

The design is laser engraved into the anodized surface rather than printed on top of the card.

Because there is no printed layer, sticker, or surface ink, the engraved design will not peel away like a printed graphic.

Normal surface wear can occur over time with any physical object, but the engraved design itself is permanent to the anodized surface.

Yes. Every custom card is produced from your artwork, information, or design.

We can engrave logos, text, contact information, illustrations, QR codes, social media handles, websites, photographs, branding, and other custom artwork.

You can create your custom metal card here and upload your artwork during the ordering process.

Yes. Single-sided and double-sided engraving options are available.

Double-sided cards are useful when you want to separate branding from contact information, add a QR code to the back, include additional services, or simply give the design more room.

Yes. QR codes can be permanently laser engraved directly into the metal card.

They can link to websites, contact cards, menus, portfolios, social profiles, payment pages, booking pages, reviews, or almost any other web destination.

For the best result, QR codes should have strong contrast and enough physical size to remain easy to scan.

Yes. Photographs can often be converted and prepared specifically for laser engraving on anodized aluminum.

Photo engraving works differently from full-color printing. Images are converted into a monochrome engraved design, so lighting, contrast, resolution, and subject detail can affect the final result.

If you are unsure whether your photo will work, review our Artwork Guidelines or send it to us for review.

We accept most common artwork formats including SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, PSD, and AI.

Clean vector artwork usually produces the sharpest results for logos and text, but vector artwork is not required for every project.

See our Artwork Guidelines for detailed recommendations.

We regularly prepare logos, text layouts, QR codes, photographs, and lower-resolution artwork so they can translate more effectively to laser engraving.

If you are unsure about your file, contact us and send what you have.

Yes. Digital previews or engraving proof photos are available upon request before production.

Yes. Properly sized and prepared QR codes can be laser engraved with strong contrast for reliable scanning.

Metal business cards are useful for professionals and businesses that want a more distinctive physical card than traditional paper.

They are popular with real estate professionals, automotive businesses, sales teams, tattoo artists, musicians, creators, contractors, restaurants, hospitality businesses, entrepreneurs, and brands across many other industries.

Metal business cards offer a very different handoff experience from standard paper cards.

Their material, finish, durability, and permanent engraving make the card feel more substantial and give recipients a reason to treat it as an object rather than disposable paper.

For businesses where presentation, branding, networking, or first impressions matter, that can make the additional cost worthwhile.
