Blank Metal Cards with Chip Slot
Metal card bodies pre-cut with a chip slot sized and positioned to your module drawing.
Description
Fitting a chip module into a metal card means cutting a slot at the right depth and position. Get that wrong, and the chip sits proud. Or the card jams in a reader. Himgo cuts the slot from your drawing. The card body is then finished around it.
Sizes & thickness
- ISO card footprint, 85.6 x 54mm.
- Card thickness 0.76-1.2mm, slot depth matched to your chip module.
- Slot position checked against your drawing before cutting.
Metals and finishes
- Stainless steel or titanium base for slot stiffness.
- Brushed, matte, or black surface around the slot.
- Slot edges deburred so the module seats cleanly.
Where buyers use it
- Card programs adding an NFC or contact chip module after this stage.
- Access or payment card bodies needing a precise chip cavity.
- Card runs where slot position must match a fixed module size.
