A metal business card sets you apart from the crowd. It ensures that any introduction with you will be a singular moment guaranteed to be remembered.
As a rule there’s no reason why metal cards should not fit into your existing business card holder however please note that due to their thickness it’s likely you’ll be able to carry around less of them.
If you can’t find an answer to your question here please contact us via email at info@puremetalcards.com and we’ll get back to within 1-2 business days.

The standard business card dimensions are: 85.5mm x 54.0mm (3.3″ * 2.1″). Our cards are slightly smaller at 85.0mm x 54.0mm (3.3″ * 2.1″).
Please note our manufacturing process enables you to cut your card to any irregular shape you choose. You are by no means limited to a rectangular card.

Absolutely! Your cards can be printed in full color just like a paper card. Note that due to the color of the metal itself results will vary from printing on a white paper surface. However, cards look much better without color as cutting or etching into the metal really makes a stronger impression.
Unlike paper cards metal cards can be etched and cut through. Many of the best designs we have seen are achieved utilizing only these two manufacturing techniques.
