NFC Cards: metal business cards

The project

The NFC Cards campaign presents business cards that combine engraved branding with professional information sharing via NFC. Archicercle’s contribution focuses on fabrication: engraving tests, cutting the recess and bonding the metal pieces.

Each card is made from two metal pieces bonded together. Both sides were engraved using a fibre laser, incorporating the corporate graphics into the metal surface itself.

Before completing the engraving, we carried out tests to adjust the laser’s power and speed. These trials formed part of the card fabrication process.

We made a cut-out in the rear piece to house the NFC component and keep it sheltered within the assembly. The two-piece construction brings together the surface for the graphics and the space needed to incorporate this component.
