Encased Metal Cards
Heavier cards for distinguished customers
CPI offers two premium metal options –
Encased Tungsten and Encased Steel
A dynamic and brand-centric design, crafted specifically for the metal format, will beautifully complement the unique weight and feel of CPI’s heaviest cards. Complete your metal package with personalization, packaging and fulfillment to create a seamless metal solution to enhance your portfolio.
Tungsten
20 Grams
The patented Encased Tungsten Card is a fusion of tungsten and PVC and offers substantial weight and rigidity. The 20-gram weight provides cardholders with a noticeable and luxurious product. Tungsten, one of the heavier metals that is non-radioactive, produces a card that has a prominent click when dropped on a hard-surface. The metal is enclosed within PVC providing flexibility in design capabilities and colored-edge options.
Steel
10 Grams
The patented Steel Card is a fusion of metal and plastic, a lighter yet practical approach to metal cards for mass issuance strategies. The Encased Steel card provides a distinct feel to cardholders at approximately twice the weight of a standard PVC card and at a fraction of the cost of a traditional metal card. Showcase a high-detail card design utilizing full color, or silk screen finish. Encased steel allows issuers to offer a more accessible metal card.
