Colorfusion Prints
Designs are printed in full color on the cards using specialized equipment. We recommend avoiding designs that cover the entire surface of the card, as this increases the risk of chipping due to constant contact with wallets or machines during insertion. Full-color prints are not as durable as laser-engraved images.
General
Will My New Custom Metal Card Work?
Absolutely! Your new metal card is designed for global use, functioning seamlessly in various locations around the world. Additionally, it serves as an effective marketing tool, especially when adorned with your company's logo, making a lasting impression on potential clients.
Which cards are eligible for conversion?
Our service is comprehensive, allowing the conversion of almost any plastic debit or credit card, including premium cards such as AMEX Platinum, Gold, and Rose Gold. We boast a 100% success rate for magnetic strip transfers, and a 98% success rate for EMV chip transplants. In the rare event of a chip transfer issue, we will collaborate with you to issue a new card from your bank and then craft a new metal version.
Can I use the metal card in ATMs ?
Your metal card is designed to function in all scenarios where your plastic card does, with the caveat that it may not be suitable for ATMs that entirely ingest the card. For ATMs where only a part of the card is inserted, usage is recommended. If an issue arises at an ATM, you can retrieve your card with identification at the bank. Additionally, you can set up contactless features on your smartphone for ATM access.
What should I do if I lose my Metal Card?
In the event of loss, immediately notify your issuing bank, just as you would with a plastic card. Remember, banks monitor activity via the card number, not the card material. BLAQ CARDS does not cover lost or stolen cards unless the additional insurance was purchased.
Does the tap and pay function work on the metal card?
At this time the tap and pay function is not available on the metal card, but you can utilize your smartphone's contactless payment features as a convenient alternative. We do have cards in R&D and will be bringing an alternative that has tap capabilities to the market soon.
