Finishes, weight and durability
Choose from three metal finishes — brushed stainless, matte black PVD and 24k-gold electroplate. Each card is 85 × 54 mm at the standard credit-card footprint, 0.8 mm thick and machined to a 0.3 mm radius on all four corners so it slides into a wallet without catching. At 34 g the card has real hand-feel weight without being noisy on a table hand-off.
Because the face is laser-engraved (not printed), the artwork won't fade, scratch off in a pocket or delaminate after a few months. The NFC antenna sits below the surface, insulated from the metal so tap performance stays consistent — typical read distance is 2–4 cm on the back of every recent iPhone and Android.

Frequently asked questions
- Are your metal business cards legal to carry through airports in Canada?
- Yes. At 0.8 mm thick and 34 g, the card is treated as a standard credit-card-format item and passes through every airport scanner in Canada without an issue. It sits flat in a wallet next to plastic cards.
- Can the NFC chip really read through solid steel?
- The antenna is not sandwiched between two solid steel plates — it sits in an insulated cavity behind the face, with a small dielectric window on the back where the chip reads. That is why read distance is 2–4 cm rather than the 6+ cm you'd get on a full-plastic card.
- What happens to the engraving over time?
- Laser engraving removes material rather than adding ink, so the design is physically part of the steel. In Canada humidity and typical wallet wear we see zero fade even after several years of daily use. Fingerprints wipe off with a cloth.
- How does pricing in CAD (CA$) compare to shipping a metal card from overseas?
- Lets Connect prints and ships to Canada from our regional facility, so pricing is in CAD (CA$) with no import duties or FX surprises. Bulk orders (10+) drop the per-unit cost by 15–25%.
- Can I re-order more later with the same engraving?
- Yes — every design is kept on file for reorder without a new setup fee. Reorders in Canada ship in the same 3–5 business days window as new orders.
