Metal business cards from Plastic Card ID offer a dramatic, tactile alternative to traditional paper or plastic, designed to make a memorable first impression. Crafted using stainless steel, brass, or plated finishes, these cards balance luxury appeal with remarkable durability to leave a lasting impression on decision-makers and prospects alike.

We work with brands to customize thickness, edge treatments, etching or engraving, and special finishes that align with your identity. Whether you want a matte brushed steel or a mirror-polished gold look, our production team ensures consistent results for every order size.

Choose from stainless steel, brass, and plated options, each offering unique visual and tactile characteristics. Techniques such as laser engraving, chemical etching, and precision cutouts allow for intricate logos, QR codes, and patterned textures that remain legible and robust over time.

Design choices not only influence appearance but also how recipients interact with the card; options such as rounded corners, perforated sections, and integrated NFC or RFID chips can be incorporated for enhanced functionality. We balance aesthetics with practical durability throughout production.

Our popular finishes include brushed, mirror polish, satin, and black-oxide, plus plated gold and rose-gold tones for elevated branding. Each finish is chosen to reflect your brand voice while providing unmatched durability, ensuring the card withstands frequent handling without losing its luster.

  • Brushed Stainless Steel - classic, professional, and resistant to scratches.
  • Mirror Polished - high shine for a statement look that reflects attention to detail.
  • Black-Oxide and Matte - modern finishes that emphasize contrast and readability.
  • Custom Plating - gold, rose-gold, or brass tones for premium branding.

We also offer protective sleeves and presentation carriers to ensure cards arrive in pristine condition and present beautifully during handoffs or mailings.

Our streamlined ordering process pairs creative consultation with precise production timelines, helping you move from concept to finished piece efficiently. Lead times vary by complexity, but we provide transparent estimates and proofing to ensure final approval before print.
