Metal, Bamboo, or PVC? Which V1CE Card is Right for You?

Metal, Bamboo, or PVC? Which V1CE Card is Right for You?

At V1CE, we know that first impressions matter—which is why we offer three different types of NFC business cards, each designed to suit different styles, industries, and personal preferences. Which one is best for you? Let’s break it down so you can choose the perfect card for your networking game.


1️⃣ Metal NFC Card – The Ultimate Power Move

Want a business card that commands attention? The Metal Hybrid Card is for those who like to make a strong, professional statement.

🔹 Material: Matte black stainless steel with a PVC backing to allow NFC functionality
🔹 Design: Laser engraved with silver or gold detailing—sleek, premium, and luxurious
🔹 Best for: High-end professionals, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and those who want their card to feel exclusive and high-class

Pro Tip: Since NFC signals can’t pass through metal, always tap the back of the card (PVC side) on phones to ensure it works!


2️⃣ Bamboo NFC Card – The Eco-Friendly Choice

If you want to stand out without harming the planet, the Bamboo Card is the perfect option. It’s sustainable, stylish, and 100% unique.

🔹 Material: Real bamboo—because sustainability never goes out of style
🔹 Design: Available in five different wood stains to match your brand’s aesthetic
🔹 Best for: Eco-conscious professionals, creative industries, wellness brands, and those who want a natural, unique look

Why Bamboo? It’s biodegradable, renewable, and still packs a premium feel—so you can impress while reducing your carbon footprint.


3️⃣ PVC One Card – The Classic & Customizable Option

For those who want variety and full-color customization, the PVC One Card is your go-to.

🔹 Material: Durable plastic—lightweight, flexible, and long-lasting
🔹 Design: Available in multiple colors, and your logo/design is printed in full color using UV printing for a bold, vibrant finish
🔹 Best for: Businesses, event professionals, and those who want custom branding and creative freedom

Want to go bold? The PVC card lets you experiment with bright colors, full-color prints, and personalized branding like no other.


Which V1CE Card is Right for You?

✔ Want a luxury statement piece? → Metal Hybrid
✔ Prefer an eco-friendly, natural look? → Bamboo
✔ Need full-color customization? → PVC One Card

No matter which card you choose, you get the same powerful NFC functionality—so all that’s left is picking the one that fits your style.
