How Are V1CE Metal Business Cards Made?

If you’ve ever held a V1CE metal business card, you already know—it’s not just a card. It’s a statement.

Many people ask us, “How are these metal cards made, and how does NFC still work through metal?” Let’s break it down!

1️⃣ The Materials: Premium Steel + PVC Backing

Our metal business cards are crafted from thick, high-quality steel, designed to feel luxurious, durable, and premium in your hand. But here’s the challenge: metal blocks NFC signals. 

So how do we make NFC work? 

We apply a PVC backing on the rear of the card—this acts as a gateway that allows NFC signals to pass through, ensuring your card still functions like a digital business card.

💡 Fun Fact: Without the PVC backing, NFC simply wouldn’t work—your card would look cool, but it wouldn’t tap-to-share!

2️⃣ Why You Must Tap the Back of the Card

Because NFC signals can’t pass through metal, you must always tap the PVC-backed side of your V1CE card against a phone’s NFC reader.

Where to Tap?

📱 iPhones: Tap the rear top of the phone (near the camera).

🤖 Androids: Tap the rear middle-back of the phone.

If you tap the front (metal side) of the card, NFC won’t work—because, well… metal blocks signals.

💡 Pro Tip: Think of it like a door—you wouldn’t try to walk through a wall, right? Always tap PVC side first!

3️⃣ Can You Still Use a QR Code? Absolutely!

If for any reason NFC doesn’t work (or you meet someone with an ancient phone from 2010), you can still use the QR code printed on the card.

To share via QR Code:

1️⃣ Flip your card over so the QR code is visible.
2️⃣ Have the other person scan it with their phone’s camera.
3️⃣ Your Smart Link will instantly open!
**💡 Having both NFC & QR means you’re covered in every situation—modern or old-school.
