I have been wanting some black metal laser engravable cards for a custom project and couldn't be more pleased with these.The cards are thick and have a nice weight to them. This gives them a premium feel in the hand. They are also precision cut and coated on all sides - not just the front and back, but on the edges, too. This is a much more expensive process which, again, lends itself to feeling and looking much more like a premium item.All the edges and surfaces are smooth with no burrs or defects. The cards come individually wrapped which can be reused after engraving. For a test engraving, I covered the anodized surface with painters tape to protect against any smoke staining or marring during the engraving process. This worked perfectly as the engraved test was clean and flawless coming out of my 100w engraver.At about a buck a card, I think these are very fairly priced. I personally wouldn't use them as business cards - I feel they're too expensive for that - but they are perfect as a premium membership card which is how I'm using them. I don't need a lot of these, but when I do, I will certainly order more from this brand. These cards have exceeded my expectations
