Patelai 30 Pcs 0.8 mm Business Cards Blank Metal Engraving

If you are like me and received 2-3 thick metal business cards with your laser engraver machine, and you have been buying others online only to find out that they are paper thin, then these are the ones you have been looking for! I purchased others stating their thickness, only to find out they were way too thin (let's say Business Card thickness). I finally located these and had to grab them for testing. They are thick (let's say Credit Card thickness). They are individually sleeved for protection. They did not come stacked like the advertisement image, but in individual sleeves. I forcefully bent a card to test its durability, and just so you know, you won't readily get it back into shape if you bend one! I could hear some "crackling" as if a protective film was also added which would match the advertisement images, but was not able to locate a peel off area. I also used tape to see if they could find the film, but I was still unable to. I figured since they were individually wrapped, they didn't have a film over either side. I then used a razor blade to lightly scratch both sides and confirmed that they are not also coated with a removable film. They do scratch to a silver undercoating. These would work perfectly in your CNC or Laser Engraver, and I'm going to toss in the one I scratched and bent to run some material testing to see how much power is required for these on my 20W laser. Thank you to the Patelai Store for entering PROPER thicknesses for all of us who have been looking for these thicker cards! You only get 30 cards in the 30-pack, but these are "rated" to be placed into your wallet and not bend easily.

strongly advise you to avoid this product and look for a better option elsewhere. I ignored the negative reviews, hoping for a different outcome, but that was a mistake. My experience with this product has been extremely disappointing. When the items arrived, they were packaged in plastic sleeves, yet many were still scratched and damaged. This clearly shows a lack of care in both handling and packaging. Additionally, the craftsmanship is severely lacking. Numerous pieces had rough, jagged edges, indicating improper cutting and poor manufacturing practices. The uneven and rough finish not only looks terrible but also renders the items unusable for their intended purpose. It's evident that there is no quality control in place for this product. I deeply regret not paying attention to the warnings from other buyers. If you value your money and time, do yourself a favor and avoid this product. The hassle, poor quality, and overall disappointment simply aren't worth it. This has been a terrible experience!

It’s not vary flimsy pretty sturdy

I bought these a while ago but just tried laser engraving them yesterday. I used one as a test piece to find the optimal settings, it looked okay so I tried another with some slight adjustments and it looked a little bit better than the first but the engraved portions were still not very bright with a little bit of striations/banding in the metal. I adjusted the DPI to a higher value, ran another test piece, and it looked pretty good so I ran a batch of 20. It turns out that it is not my laser or settings which was causing the problem, the metal itself must have impurities or an inadequate surface finish (possibly machining marks?) before anodizing. Most of the cards (maybe 15 out of the 20) had horrendous banding/striations in the engraved sections and inconsistent coloring(most very dark), of the remaining 5 acceptable ones, really only two were bright and easily legible, the other 3 were still very dark. If you are mechanically engraving these, they might be fine - but if you intend to laser engrave them and do not have a fiber laser I would not recommend them. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I would be hesitant. Otherwise the thickness and weight is great, and the anodizing finish looks good - just be weary about what is underneath the anodize.

Came all individually wrapped, Good solid thickness, however they weren't DeBurred so there's a rough edge on one side. Overall good for what I needed but as a business card I'll look for something a little better to hand out.

Good value, cards look great when laser engraved!

Work great with my 10w laser. Each individually wrapped. They’ve all been in “very good” if not excellent shape. And after they’ve been etched, you’d literally never know that there were any imperfections (had there been any to begin with). They’ve been making for awesome luggage tags. Would/will buy again 👍

Please get the point across they used to be a lot higher quality the last two I’ve gotten the black coating is very light almost faded. It makes it a very large challenge to properly laser engrave. The older ones are a totally different color. I attached a picture of a new one compared to a much darker old one.

ES LA TERCERA VEZ U

I've supplied a picture to demonstrate. The top card was the from first batch of cards I had ordered. The text wasn't extremely bright, but still legible/usable. I bought another batch to make more cards (middle card) and the metal is too dark once engraved, you can't see anything. This batch of cards is useless! The bottom card is an entirely different brand. They are more expensive, but they are significantly more reliable. Any "savings" with these cards is lost to the unreliability. Hope this helps someone.

Love these

Als Visitenkarten nicht brauchbar. Die Ränder sind auch nicht ausreichend sauber. Aber als Typenschilder oder für andere Zwecke, bei denen die Metallkarte nicht "makellos" sein muss, sind sie gut.
