Think about the last paper business card someone handed you. Where is it now?
Be honest. It is in the trash. Or lost in a drawer. Or still in the pocket of pants you already washed.
Now think about this. What if someone handed you a black metal card with your name cut into it by a laser? You would keep that card. You would show it to people. That is the whole point.
Why metal cards work
A business card has one job. It has to make people remember you.
Paper cards fail at that job. Everyone has one. They bend, they smudge, and they get tossed within a week.
Metal cards do the opposite:
- They get kept. People do not throw away something that feels valuable.
- They start conversations. Hand one over and watch what happens. People pass them around the table.
- They last forever. Ours are anodized aluminum. No fading, no bending, no wear.
- They say something about you. If your card is this sharp, your work probably is too.
What do metal business cards cost?
Less than you think. Here is the honest math.
Our 100-pack of premium metal cards runs $124.97. That is about $1.25 per card.
A fancy paper card from a big print shop costs 40 to 80 cents. So for roughly triple the price of nice paper, you get a card people actually keep. One new client pays for the whole box.
We also make a thicker 1.25mm heavyweight card for when you want serious weight in the hand. Real estate closings, law offices, luxury services. That extra heft gets noticed.
How the engraving works
We laser engrave every card here in Key West, Florida. No printing, no stickers, no ink.
The laser cuts through the black coating and exposes the bright metal underneath. Your design is part of the card itself. It cannot rub off, ever.
Both sides can be engraved. Name and contact info on the front, logo or QR code on the back. Design help is free on every order. Send us what you have, even if it is just a logo and a phone number, and we will make it work.
The QR code trick smart businesses use
Here is our favorite upgrade. Put a QR code on the back of your card.
Point it wherever you want:
- Your website or booking page
- Your contact card, so your info saves to their phone in one tap
- Your Google review page
That last one is a sleeper hit. Some of our customers order cards just for reviews. They hand one to a happy client and say "scan this if you were happy with the work." Reviews go up. Google ranks them higher. More calls come in. All from a card.
