Metallic business cards involve a printing process where CMUK colors and printed with gold or silver foil. The end result is a shimmery, glittery metallic business card. These cards are typically printed on paper cardstocks, not metal.
Recording only for our metal cards. When used on our stainless steel cards, it creates a slightly embedded look with a matte finish. It is a beautiful and luxurious finish for details and design on our metal cards and is striking in combination with a spot color.
Laser engraving provides an extremely unique finish. Most popular on our metal plates, the laser burns the desired design, leaving an interesting finish with different shades of color depending on the surface cut. For example, on our uncoated black duplex cards the end result is a deep “bronze” indentation. On our black metal cards you will see the silver and bronze finishes on our stainless metal and gold cards.
Spot-coloring allows you to add solid, bright colors to metal cards. For best results, spot coloring blends well with etching, although with the right design it can also be self-contained. Add branding or a unique color to the design of painted metal cards.
Pressure cutting allows unique settings for your cards. Both simple and complex designs can be made with precision and intricately with our metal cards, giving you an attractive and beautiful result. Use it to decorate the inside of the card design or to give the rounded corners or cards a unique shape.
The unique prism and front finishes available in our luxurious range of black metal cards provide beautiful textured and fingerprint resistant finishes. The prism finish allows for microgeometric patterns, while the frost resistant finish gives the card a fine texture. Our range of luxurious black metal cards with prism or frost-resistant finishes is an elegant and powerful expression.
The variable data allow you to distinguish unique details on each card. An example would be a business card for several people with the same logos and address data, or a member card with a unique member number on each card. Variable data is available on our metal cards and can be laser engraved or dotted.
Our metal cards are available in 3 different finishes. The mirror finish provides a highly reflective and polished surface and gives our gold, pink gold and stainless steel cards a beautiful and luxurious finish. The mirror finish gives an elegant and magnificent end result.
Application:
– The mirror finish is less resistant to scratches and stains.
– For best results, we recommend the use of engravings or cross-sections on a large part of the card.
– Different surface finishes are possible on both sides of the cardboard (only one finish on each side).
The original finish is in our stainless steel card warehouse. It is not as reflective as the mirror finish, but it gives a particularly unique “metallic” look and an elegant gloss. It is comparable to the finish of most luxury stainless steel appliances and tools.
Application:
– As the original finish is more scratch resistant than the mirror finish, we recommend its use on cards with many unpainted surfaces.
– Applicable only on our stainless steel cards.
– Both sides of the cards can have different surface finishes (only one finish on each side).
The brushed finish is the 3rd type of finish we offer in our range of metal cards. The result is a very fine line brush pattern over the entire gross area of the board. It is ideal for business cards with large amounts of etching.
Application:
– Only suitable for metal cards.
– Different surface roughness is possible on both sides of the card (only one surface etching on each side).
Metal business cards are an innovation in business culture. There are many companies in the sector, each trying to stand out and give visibility to their business. So, what does it take to do that? The business industry is booming every day. And with this growing statistic, the number of companies is also growing. There is enormous competition in the business world. However, there is a fixed budget for each industry. The budget for marketing and promotion must be strictly respected. Although most start-ups have a low budget and extravagant promotion or marketing cannot be allowed.
Metal business cards will certainly attract attention. Do you know why? It is human psychology that when we see something unusual, our memory captures it and lasts in our memory. The same thing happens with metal business cards. These cards are not common in industry. Only a few companies use these business cards. So when you deliver a business card to your potential customer. he may be stunned to receive a business card made of metal. Thus, he will enter into a conversation with you without any intention. Now your role is to convince the customer to try your services. If you play your role well, Voila! You have acquired a client.
Also, if the person doesn’t need your services, he/she will certainly remember you and will contact you when necessary. All this thanks to a business card that is not one of the usual ones you’ll see. When it comes to metal business cards, you are not giving them to everyone around you. Find potential customers or someone who might need your service and give them your business card. It is your decision making or intuition that you choose and try to convince.
A metal business card is not magic or a miracle that will miraculously win customers. It is simply a bridge to take you to your destination. Now it’s your effort to find a potential destination and try to point the best place to land the order. If you do this right, most of your work is done. When your company generates revenue to finance your business card, you already know how to charm your customer with your work and your recreation is history.
Now, if we’re talking about standing out, paper cards are a waste of time. Even if you design your paper card the best way possible and make it from the perfect material, you will still feel that they are cheap before metal business cards. Therefore, you must choose wisely. If you think metal business cards are expensive, then you need to reconsider the theory of investment and waste of money. It is the opposite. When you hand out a business card on paper, nobody will keep it for long, on the contrary, a metal card is an absolute display stopper. These cards will help you stand out and make your business look perfect.
Metal business cards are worth it. They are certainly expensive, but in the long run they are the perfect investment. If you have the budget to get metal business cards, you should try this idea to make your business look even bigger and better. Make them with an exceptionally surprising design to stand out.
Business cards have long been an integral part of modern business. As simple as they are, they have become one of the most iconic symbols in the business world. There is a reason for that. Given their uniqueness, design and finally signature, they have become almost an integral part of the business. Of the many metals and alloys that are used to make business cards, some of the best end up being made of stainless steel. The reason for this is because of the many advantages they have.
Although metal cards are a popular choice, they have a significant drawback which is that they corrode. This is especially true for metals such as copper. At the same time, this is not the case for stainless steel, given its resistance to corrosion.
Corrosion is a process in which the metal oxidizes and deteriorates constantly, and is a serious problem when it comes to managing metal objects and structures. In fact, the same problems exist when cards are made of metals. This is by far one of the best metal cards you can look for, because they are almost impossible to rust, even in very bad conditions.
All this helps to keep them in good condition for a long time and literally leaves a lasting impression. Note that there are some limitations even for stainless steel. For example, exposure to salt water, especially over a long period of time, tends to corrode even stainless steel.
Other metals can persist for a longer period of time when repainted, as they act as a protective sheath against exposure to the surrounding atmosphere, allowing it to last longer. This, however, can increase the final cost of production if the entire surface is coated with paint.
This is not about corrosion, as mentioned in the first paragraph, but about the fact that it is durable in itself. Stainless steel business cards, if handled and stored properly, can last for years without any damage. There is a reason why stainless steel is used in everything from tools to construction and everything in between.
This feature makes stainless steel cards especially useful when the customer wants to know them for a long period of time.
In turn, this makes steel a great choice for those who are interested in making business cards durable.
Although stainless steel or other metals with commercial contact information are usually printed, a more commonly used strategy is etching. Engraving, by hand or by means such as a laser, removes a thin layer of metal from the surface of the card, which when done on a model, allows the information to be displayed.
Despite its strength and resistance, stainless steel is easily engraved by both physical and laser means, making it an ideal choice if you need an engraved metal card. Again, you may be interested in acid-etched cards, which although rare, are also a suitable option.
