In DepthAbout Metal Card Printing
A metal business card is a visiting or identity card cut from stainless steel sheet, with your design UV-printed in full colour directly on the metal surface. The weight in the hand — typically 28–30 grams for a standard CR-80 sized metal card — is immediately distinguishing. When exchanged at a client meeting or networking event, a metal card creates a moment of surprise that a paper or plastic card simply cannot replicate. The recipient picks it up, registers the weight and cold surface, and the interaction becomes memorable in a way that directly benefits the person who gave the card.
UV flatbed printing applies vivid, high-resolution ink directly to the 0.8 mm metal surface. The ink cures on contact with UV light, bonding permanently to produce a print that is scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and waterproof. What elevates PrintedCards metal cards beyond standard UV printing is the finishing layer: embossed textures raise selected design elements — a logo, a pattern, a name — above the flat surface for a tactile 3D effect; spot gloss adds mirror-bright shine to specific areas against a surrounding matt background; and soft-touch matt coating delivers a velvety, fingerprint-resistant feel across the base. These finishes can be combined in a single card, creating a multi-dimensional surface that is as much a physical object as it is a business card.
Metal cards are priced across 6 tiers: ₹150/card (1–10), ₹120 (11–50), ₹99 (51–100), ₹75 (101–500), ₹55 (501–1000), and ₹45/card (1001–5000). Production typically takes 5–7 business days from design approval, as metal cards require additional cutting, finishing, and quality inspection beyond standard PVC printing. They are popular among founders, C-suite executives, investment bankers, luxury real estate agents, and any professional for whom the card itself is a brand statement. Metal cards are also used as premium membership cards, VIP access passes, and high-value gifting items.
