Finishing Options
Etching
FREE FINISH
Chemical etching is the technique used to precision-etch custom artwork into the stainless steel card surface. The process uses acid to etch away unwanted metal, while a photographically prepared mask (Phototool) is used to protect the metal areas that are to remain after the etching process. Regular etching will show a 10% debossed finish, while deep etching achieves 50% depth.
Cut Out
FREE FINISH
The chemical etching process is used to etch into the same position on the front and back of the card surface. When the two areas come into contact, the piece will fall out creating a unique and visually stimulating cut through effect.
Etch & Fill Spot Colour
FREE FINISH
After etching, the recessed areas are filled with a specific spot colour, enhancing the design's visibility and adding a vibrant, durable finish.
Spot Colour Printing
FREE FINISH
The screen printing process is used to print solid spot coloured inks onto the stainless steel card surface (we will match to your specified spot colours). Each individual card is carefully screen printed by hand.
Laser Engraving
To achieve stainless steel highlights, we laser engrave (remove) the top layer to expose the stainless steel colour underneath.
* Laser engraving is extremely accurate making this process perfect for small logos, design elements and text. Unlike chemical etching, laser engraving only removes a thin layer of the stainless steel material and does not create a deep deboss.
Full Colour Printing
Complex colourful graphics, photos, and logos may require more than two colours for accurate reproduction, ensuring vibrant and detailed designs.
NFC Chip
NFC chip cards, used as business or membership cards, offer seamless, contactless data transfer to smartphones for enhanced convenience and security.
The NFC chip (Ntag215) will be partially embedded within a mold created through deep etching and covered with a custom printed sticker. You can choose between square and round NFC chips (25x25mm). Encoding is included.
Barcode
Barcodes on membership and gift cards streamline check-ins and track usage efficiently. The code can be printed or laser engraved.
Please let us know the type of code required e.g. EAN-13, Code 39, Code 128 etc.
QR Code
QR codes on business or membership cards provide quick access to detailed information, enable easy contact sharing, and enhance engagement with digital content.
The code can be printed or laser engraved.
Magnetic Stripe
Magnetic stripes on gift or membership cards securely store encoded data, enabling seamless transactions when swiped through compatible card readers. We offer LoCo and HiCo which come encoded.
Signature Panel
A white signature panel will be printed on the cards, allowing for personalisation or signatures.
Magnetic or Adhesive Backing
Magnetic backing allows for easy placement on metal surfaces.
Adhesive backing provides a convenient way to attach the cards to different flat surfaces.
