FAQ

Can you mill the chip and magstripe slots to our bureau’s spec?

Yes. Send your personalization bureau’s tolerance drawing and we mill to that exact spec.

What’s the thickness tolerance for card printers?

We hold 0.76–1.2mm within tight tolerance so blanks feed through standard card printers.

Can titanium blanks be supplied in bulk for a pilot batch?

Yes. Titanium is available at the same MOQ as stainless, with a longer bulk lead time.

Do blank cards ship without any printing or plating?

Yes. Blanks ship bare unless you request a PVD color, ready for your bureau’s own printing step.

Can the card body carry a PVD color instead of bare metal?

Yes. PVD color coating is available on the blank before it ships to your bureau.
