Who carries them
Where a metal card does the talking
A business card is a one-second judgment about your work. Metal answers it before you’ve said a word — which is why these are the signature product of our shop.
Founders & closers
First meetings, pitches, and deal dinners. A machined aluminum card signals precision the way a paper card never will.
Trade shows & events
Yours is the one card from the show that doesn’t hit the recycling bin. Heavier in the hand, impossible to mix up with the stack.
Real estate & finance
Industries where trust is the product. A permanent, laser-etched card reads like an engineered promise, not a printout.
Makers & studios
Builders, fabricators, and design shops — hand out a sample of your standards. The card is the portfolio.

One founder’s stack, or cards for the whole company
Outfitting a team?
One shared design, per-person names and titles — sales teams, agencies, brokerages, and exec suites. Price breaks start at 10 sets, with deeper tiers at 50 and 100+. Send the name list with your logo and we’ll quote the batch; a real person replies within one business day.

Plenty of orders start as a logo screenshot and a phone number. We’ll rebuild your mark for metal, balance the etch and color layers, and send a proof you can react to — design help is part of the order, not an upsell. Start with the quote form and tell us what you have.
Metal business card FAQs
What goes on a metal business card?
Anything a paper card carries, done better — your logo and brand colors UV-printed in full color, plus your name, title, phone, email, and socials laser-etched into the anodized surface. We can print and etch both faces. Personalization and layout setup are free, and you approve a digital proof before a single card is made.
How durable are aluminum business cards?
Far past anything paper. Anodized aluminum doesn’t crease, soften, or fray in a wallet or pocket, the UV-cured ink bonds into the surface instead of sitting on top of it, and the laser-etched contact details are physically marked into the metal — they can’t rub off. The card you hand out in January still looks new in December.
How long does production take?
Every set is made to order in our Raleigh, NC studio. You approve a digital proof first, then most orders ship with tracking or are ready for free Raleigh pickup within 2–5 business days. Need cards in hand for a conference or pitch? Tell us the date and we’ll confirm the timeline before you pay.
Can you run cards for a whole team or company?
Yes — one shared design with per-person names and titles is our most common B2B order. Price breaks start at 10 sets, with deeper tiers at 50 and 100+. Send your logo, the name list, and quantities through the quote form and a real person replies with batch pricing within one business day.
