Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

[2B]

I know that Signs365 offers "aluminum" business cards with a printed design.

Are there any other sources for "aluminum" business cards?
either printed or engraved?

Thank you

I was wondering why anyone would want aluminum business cards. Have you found a customer who wants them?

I can think of one member here, if he doesn't have them he might be interested in getting some.....

Who wants business cards anyway... just email me and I have all the contact info right there.

Gemini/ID Plates is one option.

Another option is buying anodized blanks from someone like Chewbarka and laser engraving them.

I have always been curious. We have a ton of respect for 365. They are the 40 million dollar gorilla in the room we play in, but this doesn't seem like a product that has much value other than for a novelty. I would love to hear about anyone that uses these to drum up real business??

Well, they sure do push it...sending all those samples out. It's such a waste of metal using it as a business card.

It's a pink communist plot to waste our aluminum and be at their mercy to drive up the cost of aluminum in our country.

you can also get them from coastal, or Conde, for sublimation

I've ordered some of the aluminum business cards from Signs365 with my logo and information on it to show as samples.
They look great and are interesting.
But I haven't had any of my customers interested in them yet.....

On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know where I can get a ton of aluminum sheet and how much it might cost?

Aluminum spot price is at $ 2k, Alibaba sellers seems to want that x 2, for sending you it as rolls of foil. I guess it have to double again before ending up at local distributor, so my best guesstimate is $ 8K. More if you want it surface treated in some way, or as a more fancy alloy.

It may be, but it take a tremendous amount of energy to smelt it. That's why recycling aluminum is so effective. It takes far less energy to melt down old aluminum.

They have their place, just like a client of mine who has carbon fibre business cards, as he works with CF.

What better card for a heavy metal band to drop onto a club owner's desk / bartop?

"Hi. I'm in the band 'Iron Kiszka', and we wanna play your club.'

"Now THAT'S metal!... and I'm gonna need that card back. Thanks. They're pricey."

we make aluminum and lexan business cards. we have done them for a few customers but more so we make them in house for ourselves.
they are good samples for us. we print a lot of other items on aluminum and lexan so it just shows the customer what we can do and it has all our info on it.
also to save time and material we will usually group them in with another job so we almost get them for free
