Custom Blank Metal Card Bodies
Card bodies built to a specific metal, thickness, or outline outside the standard product lines.
Description
Not every blank card project fits a standard stainless or titanium spec sheet. Some need a specific metal or an unusual thickness. Others need an outline that is not a plain rectangle. Himgo builds these card bodies to your drawing rather than a fixed template.
Build options
- Stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum, or titanium, chosen per project.
- Thickness from 0.4mm up to 2mm, depending on the metal and target weight.
- Brushed, matte, mirror, or black finish.
Common dimensions
- ISO card footprint as a common starting point, 85.6 x 54mm.
- Custom outlines, cutouts, and slots checked against your file.
- Weight varies with the metal and thickness chosen.
Fit & applications
- Card programs with a non-standard material or thickness requirement.
- One-off or small-batch metal card bodies.
- Projects where the standard product lines do not match the spec.
- Mixed-material runs where each card body needs a different check.
