Metal cards: can you print in colour?
No. Metal cards are laser-engraved in a single tone, for example white on black. Colour printing is available on PVC cards.
Zap black, Zap, SS steel and gold metal cards are engraved by laser, not printed. The engraving shows in one tone: white on black metal, or the metal's own colour on steel and gold.
- Send your logo as a black-on-transparent PNG. Every black area is engraved.
- Photos, gradients and colour printing are not possible on metal.
- Dense or low-resolution QR codes do not engrave well. Send a plain QR, or let us engrave the card's own QR.
- The NFC chip sits inside the card. The tap works the same way as on a PVC card.
Want full colour? Choose a PVC business card with gold foil or the Custom Design NFC card.
