FAQs

We produce cards faster than most, because we give you very quick turnaround on design and artwork, and we have invested in efficient, high-tech production methods. Typically you will have your cards in less than three weeks. That’s a 24-48 hours for custom artwork from scratch, 12 days in production and 3-4 days for shipping anywhere in Continental USA.

Our minimum order is 100 for custom metal business cards and 50 for metal invitations.

Much of the cost of producing metal cards is in the set-up because each card needs to be processed on many different machines, including cutting, etching, printing, finishing and packing. It all takes time to set up each machine for a custom run, so it costs almost the same to produce 10 cards as 100.

That’s why you get a big discount when you place large orders – the more you order, the more you save.

Every card is customized so you can have almost any shape you wish! If you have something specific in mind, just let us know when you request a quote and our talented designers will work with you to make it a reality.

Maximum sizes are 85mmx 54mm for metal business cards, coupon cards, VIP cards etc., and 178mm x 127mm for metal invitations. We recommend rounded corners for safety reasons, as square corners can be sharp. Bottle openers need to be a certain shape to actually function as a bottle opener. Apart from that, the only limit is your imagination.

Yes – and it’s free! We have a team of experienced graphic artists who know just how to create a design that reflects the image you want to portray, makes the most of being on metal rather than card or plastic and has real impact.

Your designer will use your logo, fonts and any other graphic devices you would like incorporated. When you get a proof of the design it will show colors, cut-outs and etched areas for BOTH sides of your cards.
