SITAPRESS Metal Business & Membership Card Manufacturing Technology
Every card goes through five steps: material check, etching or engraving, optional printing, surface finish and NFC tag. The result has a weight and durability that paper cannot match.
Permanent Etching & Engraving
Chemical etching cuts logos and text 0.05–0.15 mm deep, permanent. CNC engraving gives sharp detail to ±0.05 mm. Minimum line 0.3 mm. You can feel the depth with your finger.
Tap-to-Share NFC
Optional NFC sticker (125 kHz or 13.56 MHz) on the back. One tap opens your website, vCard, LinkedIn, portfolio or member page. Works on iOS and Android, no app, range 2–4 cm. The chip can be reprogrammed anytime.
Screen & Digital Printing — Color Identity on Metal
Membership & VIP Levels Same body text as v2: One metal or anodized color per level (silver, black, gold, red, blue). Logo etched or color-printed: screen print from 50 pcs, digital CMYK from 1 pc, QR codes included. Member numbers on request [CONFIRM]. Optional NFC links each member to a personal page. Start from 10 cards.
