Can you make just One Metal Card?

We find the entire success of our product is that people hold onto these forever – we get calls all the time of people that held onto a card for years.

Our manufacturing process requires screens and plates setup on a running production line, so while it isn't the easiest process, we can make production samples for your order.

When it comes to production samples or making just a couple cards, this is a difficult process due to the costs and setup involved in our manufacturing process. While we don't charge extra any setup costs, we do typically require a minimum order quantity to cover these costs. With our production, unfortunately it’s not possible for us to make one metal card – the process is not "digital" as they can do in paper printing – We have to make plates and screens that are one-time-use, along with usual setup and production costs of running the line (such as calibrating alignment), so the cost of making 5qty to a 50qty short run is negligible. If you’re looking to make a large order, we recommend ordering 50qty, our "short run" minimum, as samples for a better cost break. That will be your best cost to benefit ratio, and why we offer the low run of 50qty to our customers.

If you need a sample run of your project prior to ordering, we can usually produce 4-5 samples of your card for a flat fee of $200.

This covers the cost of production, where the order will run on the same line and take the same 12-17 business days to complete (or otherwise advised current production timeline) – and if the same cards are ordered for mass production (over $500) we will credit $100 to your order. If you place an order over $1000 for these cards within 60 days . While we can produce cards with custom data (name, date, etc) via variable printing, our minimum order is 50qty for specialty processes.
