Encased Metal Cards

Heavier cards for distinguished customers

CPI offers two premium metal options for EMV® or dual interface contactless capable

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.

Encased 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 unique construction of metal enclosed within PVC provides flexibility in design and colored-edge options, plus symmetrical contactless payment functionality allows for contactless transmission with a point of sale (POS) terminal regardless of card orientation.

Encased 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 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, combining high design and the choice of EMV® contact or dual interface contactless payment technology.
