Metal Business Cards & Custom Solutions
Metal Business Cards have emerged as a signature way to communicate brand authority and craftsmanship. Plastic Card ID produces metal cards that combine aesthetic refinement with practical durability, making a bold statement in sales meetings and networking events while retaining usability as contact carriers and VIP credentials.
Design customization extends to thickness, finish, and edge treatments, allowing brands to choose from brushed stainless, mirror polish, or plated accents. These metal options are engineered for longevity and tactile appeal, ensuring recipients remember your message long after first contact.
Premium Metal Options
Clients can select stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or plated alloys to match brand tone and budget while benefiting from precision engraving and cutouts. The craftsmanship produces a card that reads as a collectible item, not disposable marketing collateral, giving recipients a reason to keep and reference the card.
Whether for executives, VIPs, or sales teams, metal cards make an immediate statement: they are a tool for differentiation that signals investment, care, and a commitment to quality that many competitors do not match.
Design, Production & Finishing
Design services include file review, mockups, and production proofs that help ensure every Metal Business Card looks and performs as intended. Processes like laser engraving, chemical etching, and selective plating allow for fine detail and logo fidelity across small or large inventories.
For urgent projects or ongoing programs, discuss timelines and volume pricing with our team: call 800.835.7919 to receive a tailored quote and sample options that showcase finishes like mirror polish and deep etch engraving.
Custom Shapes, Luxury Options, and Unique Touches
Beyond standard rectangles, custom shapes and specialty inserts let brands create cards that double as conversation starters. Features like die-cut silhouettes, magnetic strips, and embedded elements transform a card into a multifunctional tool for marketing, access, or membership validation.
For those seeking a truly premium gesture, options such as gold plating or mixed-material construction deliver an unforgettable impression that aligns with upscale positioning and client expectations.
Security, Access & Specialty Cards
Security and access control are core competencies, with products designed to meet institutional and commercial needs. Cards like MIFARE DESFire and contactless RFID are deployed in hotels, casinos, and enterprises to ensure seamless secure interactions between people and systems.
Security-focused manufacturing integrates durable materials with technology and tamper-resistant features, offering cards that protect identity, simplify access, and reduce fraud risk. The integration process includes personalization, encoding, and quality assurance testing for dependable operation.
Secure ID Solutions
Custom ID badges and membership credentials are tailored with security in mind, featuring variable data printing, holographic overlays, and tamper-evident laminates where required. These solutions foster trust and strengthen organizational control with a professional appearance that reinforces credibility.
Service offerings extend to program management, card renewal, and replacement workflows that reduce administrative friction while ensuring authorized personnel maintain access to facilities and services with minimal downtime.
RFID, Smart Cards & Encoding
Our smart card services include encoding and testing for contactless standards such as MIFARE and DESFire, delivering reliable read ranges and compatibility with existing infrastructure. Projects are validated through batch testing to ensure consistent memory, encryption, and operational performance.

Casino, Hospitality & Specialized Use Cases
Specialty applications include secure casino player cards, hotel key cards, and transit or event credentials. Each application receives tailored attention to industry regulations, guest experience, and operational workflows, ensuring cards both protect assets and improve service delivery.
These cards are manufactured to withstand heavy usage and incorporate features such as magnetic stripes, RFID chips, and design elements that enhance identification and loyalty recognition across guest interactions and transactions.
Marketing Impact & Gift Card Programs
Plastic gift cards remain a powerful retail tool, consistently boosting sales and customer loyalty when implemented strategically. Plastic Card ID supports gift card programs that integrate branding, security, and distribution for maximum ROI and customer retention.
