Metal cards have a certain novelty, but most people who try one end up back on PVC. It's lighter, prints in full color, costs a fraction of the price, and its NFC chip reads instantly without the shielding issues metal can introduce.
The honest picture on metal:
✅ Metal does look premium — for the right, occasional use case
✅ It's heavier, pricier, and needs extra engineering so the chip still reads reliably
✅ Most of our Saudi customers try it once and switch back to PVC
Metal has its place — but for most people, PVC is simply the smarter choice.
"I ordered a metal card first because it looked impressive online. In practice it was heavy in my wallet and the NFC tap was noticeably less reliable. My next card was PVC — it just works better."
"Metal only let us engrave our logo in one color. With PVC we got our full brand colors and gradient design printed exactly how we wanted it."
"Metal cards for 15 people would have cost several times more. PVC gave us the same NFC function at a price that made sense for the whole team."
