Custom Metal Business Cards
Custom Metal Business Cards
Create premium metal business cards with the right material, finish, thickness and production method for your brand.
What Are Metal Business Cards?
Metal business cards are professionally manufactured cards made from stainless steel or other metals instead of paper or plastic. Their lasting material, substantial feel and refined surface make them especially effective for brands that want to be remembered.
Built for Repeated Use
Metal provides a durable foundation that holds its shape and maintains a premium feel through everyday handling.
Designed to Be Remembered
Weight, texture and finish create an immediate physical impression that ordinary cards cannot replicate.
Made for Your Artwork
Logos, fine text, patterns, variable numbers, QR codes and cut-outs can be planned around your design.
Materials and Finishes for Your Brand
The surface affects both the appearance and the practical feel of a metal business card. We help you choose the combination that gives your artwork the best contrast and consistency.
Stainless Steel
- A dependable choice for professional and premium cards
- Suitable for laser engraving, etching, printing and plating
- Strong corrosion resistance and stable structure
Gold, Rose Gold and Black
- Distinctive colours for VIP and membership cards
- Available with brushed, mirror or matte treatments
- Engraving and printed details can be planned for contrast
Our recommendation: Brushed stainless steel is a practical starting point for many projects because it gives a refined appearance while making everyday fingerprints less noticeable than a mirror surface.
Thickness and Customization Options
Thickness changes the hand-feel, weight and suitability for everyday carrying. The best choice depends on how the cards will be used, not simply on choosing the thickest option.
0.5 mm — Everyday Balance
- Comfortable in most wallets and card holders
- A balanced option for professional cards and larger orders
- Works well with engraving, printing and detailed artwork
0.8 mm — More Substantial Feel
- Heavier and more tactile in the hand
- Well suited to VIP, executive and luxury cards
- Useful when a stronger premium presence is important
Laser Engraving
Ideal for sharp logos, fine text, serial numbers, QR codes and variable information.
Chemical Etching
Creates a tactile recessed area for designs that need stronger depth or a crafted metal effect.
Printing and Colour
Screen printing and UV printing can add brand colours, white details and detailed artwork.
Custom Shapes and Cut-Outs
Add logo cut-outs, windows, custom outlines, hanging holes or other precision features, subject to design review.
NFC, QR Codes and Variable Data
Add tap-to-share NFC, QR codes, sequential numbers or personalised data. Metal NFC construction should be planned before production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom metal business cards, materials and production.
What are metal business cards made from?
Most projects use stainless steel. Depending on the required colour and finish, we can also discuss plated stainless steel, brass or copper-based options.
What thickness do you recommend?
0.5 mm is usually the best balance for everyday use. Choose 0.8 mm when a heavier, more substantial hand-feel is important.
Which finish is best: brushed, mirror or matte?
Brushed is refined and practical, mirror creates the strongest reflective effect, and matte gives a quieter contemporary appearance. The right choice also depends on the artwork and fingerprints.
Can you engrave fine text, numbers and QR codes?
Yes, but the suitable method depends on the size, line weight, contrast and surface finish. We review the artwork first so the result is practical to manufacture and read.
Can you add NFC to a metal business card?
Yes. Metal NFC cards require suitable internal construction because metal can interfere with NFC performance. We recommend the appropriate structure based on your use case.
What artwork files do you need?
Vector AI or PDF files are preferred. If you only have JPG or PNG artwork, send it to us and we can assess whether it is suitable for production.
How much do custom metal business cards cost?
Pricing depends on quantity, size, thickness, material, finish, printing, engraving, etching, NFC and shipping. Request a quote for an accurate project-specific price.
