Design your Anodised black card

This is drawn at the size the object really is, from the same file the laser cuts — what you see here is what you get handed back. It reads 1–2 cm; change the material and that number changes with it, in front of you.

The dashed white line is the cutting tolerance; the copper band is the antenna, where a solid mark stops the card reading.

Material

Anodised aluminium, lasered back to bare metal.

Chip

The Pro chip adds $20 to any card and changes nothing about the artwork — the price bar below follows as you switch.

Etched in capitals. It is the line people read from across a table.

What you do, not your grade. It is re-assignable later without a reprint.

Leave it out and the card belongs to you rather than to a job.

Logo

Anodised aluminium, lasered back to bare metal. A flat, single-colour version cuts best — under 200 KB, and a PNG is scaled down for you.

For the phone in front of you that will not do NFC. Every card gets its own code — the pattern is filled in when the tag is encoded, so the preview shows the reserved area at true size.

Mark colour

The beam strips the black oxide off, so every mark comes out LIGHTER than the card. There is no dark option: a black mark on an already-black card is a mark nobody can see.

One pass. You feel the mark more than you see it, and nothing is removed.

readyEverything clears the trim edge and the antenna.
