Metal Business Cards

You choose the metal, the thickness, the surface finish and whether the logo is engraved into the card or printed in ink. Want to see how a metal card sits next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

A set of 50 is $262.52, about $5.25 a card, and a run of 1,000 brings each card to about $2.83. Tap any tier below for the set total and the saving at each step.

What Are Metal Business Cards

Metal business cards are cards cut from real metal instead of paper, printed and engraved full detail in 3 sizes and 6 metal types, from stainless steel to gold and rose gold. Buyers order them where a paper card would get lost: a closing gift, a founder's card, a members-only pass, or a premium tier of an existing brand. Because the material is unexpected and the card has weight, it gets handled and kept instead of pocketed and forgotten. If you want the familiar paper format instead, the Standard Business Cards cover that, and the metal card sits beside it as the heavier, longer lasting option.

What Size Should a Metal Business Card Be

Pick the size by how much you need to say. The standard 2" x 3.5" is the familiar wallet shape, so a metal version drops straight into an existing design. The 1.5" x 3.5" slim card runs longer and leaner for a minimalist logo and a single line of contact detail. The 2.5" square reads as a token. If none of those fits, you can order a custom size up to 3" x 4", made to spec. All 3 sizes, both the metals and the finishes are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a durable non-paper card at a lower price, the Plastic Business Cards are another sturdy pick.

Three sets of choices shape a metal card.

Pick the metal, thickness and finish

The material sets the tone. Stainless steel reads modern and industrial, while gold and rose gold read warm and luxe, with 6 metal types in all. Then choose the thickness, from a lighter 0.3mm (14 point) up to a substantial 0.8mm (30 point) that lands in the hand like a coin. Finish it matte for an understated look, mirror for a polished chrome shine, or brushed for a fine directional grain. For a metallic shine on paper at a lower price, the Metallic Foil Business Cards carry the same idea in a lighter format.

Engrave it, cut it, code it

Metal takes finishing that paper cannot. Laser engraving cuts your logo or type into the surface itself, on the front, the back, or both, so it catches light instead of sitting flat. Custom laser cutting shapes the outline beyond the standard rectangle. You can also etch a scannable QR code or a barcode, with formats like Code 39, straight into the metal, so the card links to a site or profile without a sticker.

Design it without a designer

Pick a layout with a simple logo and one or two lines of contact detail from our design templates, part of the more than 10,000 free designs 4OVER4 offers across its range, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor. A clean, bold mark suits laser engraving and a single black or white ink better than a busy full color layout.

How Much Do Metal Business Cards Cost

Metal business cards start at $262.52 per set of 50, about $5.25 per card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 1,000, where it lands near $2.83 each. Drag the slider below to set your count and see the set total and the per-card cost.

The lowest price per card comes from the base build, and each upgrade adds a set amount. What costs nothing extra and what adds to the order:

• Metal. Stainless steel, gold, rose gold and bronze cost the base price; black or white metal adds 25%.
• Thickness. 0.3mm (14 point) and 0.5mm (20 point) cost the base price; 0.8mm (30 point) adds 35%.
• Surface. Matte costs the base price; mirror, brushed or textured adds $25.
• Ink. No ink, or one black or white ink, costs the base price; 2 PMS inks add $25, and full color adds $50 on the front or $75 on both sides.
• Engraving and shape. Laser engraving on one side and a custom laser cut cost the base price; engraving on both sides adds 10%.
• Codes and names. A QR code or barcode adds $75, and engraved variable data adds $75.

Every build takes the same 15 business day production time, and your art uploads at the size you ordered, from 2" x 3.5" to a custom 3" x 4".

Can You Put a Name or Code on Each Card

Yes. Turn on engraved variable data and you can drop a unique name, a serial number, or a one-off code onto each card in the run, so no two ship the same. That turns a metal card into a numbered members pass, a founder's card with a real name, or a coupon where every code is different. Pair it with laser engraving on the front and a matte or brushed surface.

How Do Metal Business Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range

Weighing metal against a natural material, a durable plastic or a metallic shine on paper? The chart below lines up metal business cards against close siblings like the Wood Business Cards so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Long Do Metal Business Cards Take

Each order is cut, finished and engraved from solid metal to your spec, so standard production is 15 business days, longer than a paper card. Plan a launch or an event around that window and your cards arrive ready to hand out, backed by the same Gold Standard guarantees that cover every 4OVER4 order.
