Process of Metal Card
 

The metal sheet is selected and cut into the desired size and shape using a high-precision laser cutting machine. The precise edges and fine details of the design are then carved onto the metal surface using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine or engraving machine.

 

Any necessary holes or grooves are drilled into the card. After ensuring that the design is properly etched, the metal card is ready for the surface finish. This may include sandblasting, polishing, electroplating, or anodizing processes to give the card its desired texture, color, and finish.

 

The card is printed with any necessary text or images, such as a logo or contact information, using a specialized printing technique such as screen printing or digital printing.

 

Additional finishing touches such as embossing or debossing may also be included for added texture and detail.

 

 

 
What you should know when use Metal Card
 
1

Keep it away from abrasive surfaces To prevent unnecessary scratches or dents, avoid placing your metal card on rough surfaces or rubbing it against sharp objects. Carry it in a separate cardholder or a designated slot in your wallet to minimize chances of accidental damage.

2

Avoid contact with liquids Although most metal cards have a protective coating to resist stains, it is still advisable to keep them away from direct contact with liquids. This is particularly important with corrosive substances like acids or strong cleaning agents as they may tarnish or damage the metal.

3

Clean it regularly Over time, metal cards may accumulate dirt, fingerprints, or smudges that can affect their appearance. To maintain its shine, gently wipe the surface of your card with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials during cleaning, as they might scratch or strip off the protective coating.

4

Don't expose it to extreme temperatures Extreme heat or cold can potentially warp or damage a metal card. Avoid leaving your card in direct sunlight or in a freezing environment for prolonged periods. Instead, store it in a safe place with moderate temperature to preserve its original form.

5

Be cautious during transactions When using your metal card for payments or transactions, handle it with care. Avoid forcefully inserting or swiping it in card readers, as this can cause damage to both the card and the terminal. Also, remove any loose objects (such as keys or coins) from your pocket before swiping to prevent scratches.

6

Keep it secured While metal cards are more durable than traditional plastic ones, they can still be lost or stolen. To minimize the risk, always keep your card in a secure place when not in use. If you suspect it's been lost or stolen, immediately contact your card issuer to report it and request a replacement.
