The unified Product Designer includes the same metal finish choices shown here. In laser-only mode, artwork is previewed as a monochrome engraved/revealed result on the selected card color. You can also enable an engraving + UV color concept for future O1 production.

Custom metal business cards

Metal business cards create a durable, premium alternative to paper cards. STP3DP can laser engrave logos, names, job titles, contact information, QR codes and clean line artwork on black, silver and other colored metal blanks when available. Use the builder to lay out a single card or prepare a design for a larger batch.

Dog tags, luggage tags and keychains

Create engraved identifiers for travel, personal keepsakes, teams, equipment and gifts. Dog tags and keychains work well for names, dates, coordinates and short messages, while larger luggage tags provide room for contact information, logos and more detailed layouts.

Challenge coins and commemorative metal pieces

Challenge coins and custom metal blanks can be used for unit recognition, retirements, milestones, clubs, teams and one-off commemorative projects. Artwork is reviewed before production so fine lines, spacing and engraving contrast can be adjusted when needed.

Pet tags and custom shapes

Personalize metal pet tags with a pet name, phone number, address or simple icon. If the shape you need is not listed in the builder, choose Custom Metal and describe the blank, dimensions and engraving area. We can confirm whether the item is suitable for the laser process before quoting it.

STP3DP provides custom laser engraving from Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving local customers in the Twin Cities as well as shipped orders. Small custom jobs, one-off personalized pieces and batch engraving requests are all welcome.

Frequently asked questions

Custom metal engraving FAQ

Can I upload my own logo or artwork?

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or SVG, then position and size it directly on the selected metal blank. Clean, high-contrast artwork usually gives the best engraving result. We review the design before production.

Do you make custom metal business cards?

Yes. Custom metal business cards are one of the primary products supported by the builder. Designs can include a logo, name, title, contact information, QR code and other line artwork. Black and other colored metal blanks can be quoted based on supplier availability.

Can I order only one piece?

Yes. Single engraved items and small custom runs are welcome. For larger quantities, submit the desired quantity for each product in your project and we will quote the batch.

What kinds of artwork engrave best on metal?

Logos, vector graphics, bold typography, black-and-white artwork and clean line drawings are ideal starting points. Photos can work as well, but often need grayscale, contrast and detail preparation before engraving.

Can I design several different metal products in one request?

Yes. Tell us which products, quantities, finishes, and designs you need in your custom request. The live builder currently focuses on metal business cards; other metal shapes are reviewed and quoted based on the actual blank.

Do you offer metal engraving in Saint Paul, Minnesota?

Yes. STP3DP operates from Saint Paul, MN and can handle local custom engraving work as well as projects that will be shipped to customers outside the Twin Cities.

The color selector in the builder is a visual preview, not a guarantee of stock. Available blanks depend on the product, quantity, supplier inventory, and the engraving method best suited to the piece.

Artwork guidance

Simple, high-contrast art engraves best.

Logos, vector art, bold typography, line drawings, and clean black-and-white images are the easiest starting point. Photos can work too, but may need grayscale and contrast preparation. Avoid extremely fine detail near edges and holes.
