What Are Frosted Metal Business Cards?
Frosted metal business cards are rigid premium cards with a matte or textured surface that reduces excessive reflection and creates a more refined visual effect. Logos, names, patterns and contact information can then be added through processes such as engraving, embossing, foil application or screen printing.
Compared with conventional paper cards, a rigid metal-style card creates a different tactile experience through its weight, surface texture and finishing details. This makes it particularly suitable for brands where presentation and perceived quality are important.
Metal, PVC, PET & PETG Business Card Materials
Different card materials create different levels of rigidity, weight, flexibility and surface appearance. Wallis supports several material options so B2B buyers can select the card construction according to the target market and design.
Metal Business Cards
Metal provides a rigid, weighty and distinctive card feel that works well for executive cards, premium corporate branding, luxury services and VIP applications. Because the exact metal grade is not the same for every project, buyers should confirm the required metal specification, finish and processing method before production.
PVC Business Cards
PVC provides a versatile plastic-card structure suitable for business cards, name cards, membership cards, promotional cards and other printed card applications.
PET & PETG Business Cards
PET and PETG provide additional plastic card options for projects that require different flexibility, appearance or processing characteristics. The appropriate substrate should be selected according to the required printing and finishing process.
Frosted, Embossed & Engraved Finishing Options
Surface finishing is one of the most important elements of a premium business card. Different processes can be combined according to the selected material, artwork and desired brand effect.
Frosted Surface Finish
A frosted surface creates a softer matte appearance compared with a highly reflective finish. It works particularly well with minimalist layouts, premium typography and understated corporate branding.
Embossed Logo & Text
Embossing creates a raised tactile element that can be used to emphasize logos, names, borders or selected decorative details. Feasibility depends on the card material, thickness, design dimensions and tooling requirements.
Engraved Business Cards
Engraving creates recessed or marked artwork on the card surface and can be used for logos, text, patterns or decorative elements. It is especially effective for designs that rely on clean lines and material texture rather than large areas of printed color.
Gold Foil & Silver Foil
Gold or silver foil can highlight logos, company names, borders and other selected areas. Metallic foil effects are suitable for luxury brands, hospitality, VIP cards and premium corporate identity applications.
Silk Screen Printing
Silk screen printing is suitable for solid-color logos, typography and graphic elements on compatible card surfaces. It can be combined with frosted or engraved areas to create contrast between printed and unprinted sections.
How to Choose the Right Card Thickness
Card thickness influences rigidity, weight, tactile feel and the suitability of different finishing processes. Available thickness options for this product range include 0.38 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.76 mm.
0.38 mm Cards
A thinner card profile can be suitable when portability, lower weight or a slimmer card appearance is preferred. The actual rigidity depends strongly on the selected material.
0.5 mm Cards
A 0.5 mm option provides a middle ground between a thinner card profile and a more substantial rigid feel. It can be considered for premium everyday business cards depending on the material and required finishing.
0.76 mm Cards
A thicker card provides a more substantial feel and may be preferred for VIP, membership or premium branding projects. Final suitability depends on the selected metal or plastic material and processing requirements.
Why Choose Custom Metal Business Cards?
Distinctive Brand Presentation
A rigid metal card provides a noticeably different visual and tactile experience from conventional paper cards. The material, weight and surface finishing can become part of the overall brand presentation.
Premium Tactile Experience
Frosting, engraving and embossing allow the recipient to experience the design through texture as well as appearance. This makes these processes useful for premium brands where physical presentation is important.
More Durable Than Paper
Metal and rigid plastic cards do not tear like conventional paper cards and are better suited to repeated handling. Exact resistance to scratching, corrosion, bending or moisture depends on the specific material and surface treatment selected for the project.
Multiple Custom Finishing Combinations
Buyers can combine material, thickness, frosted texture, engraving, embossing, foil and screen printing to create a card that better matches the visual identity of the brand.

How to Customize Your Metal Business Cards
1. Confirm the Card Material
Tell us whether the project requires metal, PVC, PET or PETG. For metal cards, include any specific metal grade or performance requirement if your project requires one.
2. Select the Card Thickness
Choose from 0.38 mm, 0.5 mm or 0.76 mm according to the desired feel, rigidity and application.
3. Choose Frosted, Engraved or Embossed Effects
Define which areas require frosted texture, engraving, embossing, gold foil, silver foil or printed color. Combining too many effects can reduce visual clarity, so the finishing plan should support the main brand elements.
4. Send Your Logo & Artwork
Provide your company logo, name, title, contact details and graphic artwork. Vector artwork is preferred for processes such as engraving, embossing and foil application because clean paths help define detailed production areas.
5. Confirm the Sample
Samples are available so material, thickness, color and finishing effects can be checked before bulk production. For customized premium cards, physical confirmation is particularly useful when texture and tactile appearance are important.
6. Confirm Quantity & Production Requirements
Provide your required quantity together with final artwork and finishing specifications. Standard production is listed as approximately 3–5 working days, while actual timing depends on quantity, material, process complexity and sample approval.
Design Tips for Premium Metal Business Cards
Keep Important Information Easy to Read
Premium materials cannot compensate for an overcrowded layout. Keep names, phone numbers, email addresses and essential contact information clear and readable.
Use Engraving for Fine Brand Details
Logos, monograms, geometric lines and typography can work effectively with engraved details, provided the artwork is suitable for the selected production process.
Use Foil as an Accent
Gold and silver foil often work best when used selectively on logos, names or small graphic areas instead of covering the entire design.
Match the Finish to Brand Positioning
Frosted finishes can support understated modern branding, while metallic foil, engraving and embossed details can be used when the project requires a stronger luxury or tactile effect.
