Metal business cards provide an immediate perception of quality and exclusivity, making them ideal for executives, creatives, and brands that want to be remembered. Whether brushed stainless steel or plated finishes, each option is designed to create a stand out instantly experience that traditional paper cards cannot match.

Alongside metal cards, we offer specialty treatments such as cutouts, engraving, and mixed-material assemblies that harmonize metal with plastic or clear panels. These techniques enable bespoke pieces that act as miniature brand ambassadors with lasting tactile appeal.

We provide a selection of metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and plated brass with finishes like brushed, mirror, and matte. Each finish is chosen to suit the brand's aesthetic and functional needs, ensuring that the card performs as well as it looks when presented to customers or stakeholders.

  • Brushed stainless steel for understated elegance and resilience
  • Mirror-polished surfaces for a bold, reflective statement
  • Engraved or laser-cut accents for precise branding
  • Mixed-material assemblies for layered, tactile designs

These choices allow brands to match product design to campaign objectives and budget, producing cards that function as both tools and collectibles for recipients.

Custom shapes and luxury materials elevate the card beyond a standard contact medium into a collectible keepsake. Our metal cards are available in unique silhouettes, with selective plating and inset finishes that highlight logos, text, or serialized numbering for premium programs.

Metal cards are not only visually striking but also physically robust, resisting wear and bending that quickly degrades paper alternatives. That durability translates into extended brand presence and repeated impressions as recipients keep and reuse these cards long after first contact.

When brands choose metal, they are investing in a tactile symbol of value and professionalism. The result is more than a contact detail-it's a memorable artifact that supports premium positioning and long-term recognition.

Design is where vision meets production, and our experienced design team helps clients realize concepts that translate to metal and plastic media with precision. We provide proofing, mockups, and prepress checks to ensure art files print accurately and maintain color fidelity across materials.

Our designers work collaboratively to preserve brand integrity while suggesting technical adjustments for optimal manufacturing, ensuring that logos, type, and finishes reproduce reliably. The goal is a final product that mirrors your intent and supports your campaign objectives.

We offer hands-on assistance from initial concept through final proof, helping clients achieve effects like foil, spot color, and laser engraving. Designers balance aesthetic choices with production realities to produce cards that are both beautiful and manufacturable at scale.

Working with PCID or other brand stewards is straightforward: we translate creative direction into specifications that meet production tolerances and campaign timelines without compromising style.

Every job undergoes stringent proofing and quality control, from color checks to physical inspections of sample runs. This process ensures that your order meets expectations and arrives ready for distribution, minimizing surprises and supporting reliable launch schedules.

Our case studies show retailers often doubling redemption rates and experiencing a significant lift in repeat purchases after adopting professional plastic or metal cards.

Marketing teams value cards for their tangible nature: a card is an enduring reminder that lives in wallets, keychains, and drawers, reinforcing brand presence in moments when digital messages fade away.

Gift cards distributed through retail and online channels act like concentrated promotions that encourage additional purchases and attract new customers. We help brands design attractive gift cards and packaging that encourage spending and elevate perceived value, which translates into measurable revenue increases.

  • Higher average order values when gift cards are used at checkout
  • Improved customer acquisition via branded gifting
  • Increased repeat visits from redeemed cards

These tactical advantages make gift cards a smart investment for retailers and service providers looking to grow revenue and customer relationships.

Loyalty cards and membership credentials foster ongoing engagement and create data-driven opportunities to reward and retain customers.
