STAINLESS STEEL
METAL CARD FEATURES

METAL FINISH
SATIN: A smooth stainless steel finish
BRUSHED: A distinctive look with an unidirectional finish. The brushing process gives the stainless steel a pattern of very fine lines parallel to the brushing direction. |

ETCHINGChemical 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. The etched surface will appear lighter in colour and this contrasts with the unetched surface of the card. |
![]() |
CUT THROUGHThe 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. |
![]() |
PRINTINGThe silk-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. |

SEQUENTIAL NUMBERING & PERSONALISATIONMake every card unique by number or name! Sequential numbering or personalisation can either be laser engraved or printed onto your metal card. Sequential numbering and personalisation is ideal for membership cards, invitations, dog tags, VIP cards, club cards and much more.

BLACK ETCHINGChemical etching is the technique used to precision-etch custom artwork into the stainless steel card surface before the card has been anodised. 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. The card is then anodised black and the etched surface will appear indented and black in colour. |
