More than contact information.
A business card is a small expression of what your brand values. We make it feel considered—not promotional.
Material, finish, typography, engraving contrast, and tactile detail are balanced into an object people want to hold onto.

Questions, answered
The details before the detail work.
Can every card have different information?
Yes. Team sets can include variable names, titles, contact details, and individual QR codes, all within one approved brand system.
Will a QR code scan from metal?
It can when size, contrast, and finish are considered together. We prepare QR-capable layouts for the selected material and can recommend a physical sample when extra validation is useful.
Do I need production-ready artwork?
No. Bring finished files or your existing logo and brand assets. We can adapt the layout for line weight, legibility, engraving contrast, and the realities of metal.
Can you engrave both sides?
Often, yes. The best approach depends on the stock, finish, design coverage, and how the card will be handled. We will recommend the practical specification in your quote.
Is there a minimum order?
We welcome personal editions, small batches, and team orders. Practical quantities vary by material and specification, so each project is quoted around what you actually need.
How long does an order take?
Timing depends on material availability, artwork preparation, quantity, and proof approval. Your tailored quote will include the expected production schedule.
