Materials & finishes
Specify the material and finish that fit your price point
| Material | What you get |
|---|---|
| Aluminium 6061 / 7075 | 0.8–1.2 mm bodies; CNC milled or laser cut; Type II / III anodising, bead blast, PVD, laser engraving. Default for pop-up and card-holder bodies. |
| Stainless steel | 0.6–1.0 mm; brushed or PVD coated; stamping + CNC. Heavier, scratch-resistant, low entry tooling. |
| Titanium (Gr 2 / Gr 5) | 0.6–1.0 mm; anodised colour or bead blast; CNC milled. Premium flagship builds, roughly 40% lighter than steel. |
| Forged carbon | 1.2–2.0 mm panels; gloss or matte clear coat; CNC trimmed. High-end limited lines, low volume only. |

Decision guide
Aluminium, titanium or forged carbon: how to choose
- Aluminium. Best cost-to-weight for volume programmes; the workhorse for pop-up and card holders.
- Stainless steel. Heaviest and most scratch-resistant; cheap to tool, ideal for rugged badge and card holders.
- Titanium. Premium and roughly 40% lighter than steel; anodises to brand colours for flagship lines.
- Forged carbon. Flagship aesthetic at a higher unit cost; reserve it for low-volume, high-retail launches.
Quality
Four checkpoints on every metal wallet order
01
Incoming material
Alloy certificate and thickness check on every coil and billet before it reaches the line.
02
In-process
CNC dimensions, card-slot clearance and mechanism fit measured mid-batch, not at the end.
03
Post-finish
Anodising colour and coating adhesion checked after finishing, before assembly.
Pricing logic
What actually moves your quote
- Quantity. Moving from 500 to 5,000 pieces typically drops unit cost 18–30%.
- Material. Titanium runs several times aluminium; forged carbon more again.
- Finish. Type III anodising, PVD and two-tone add labour and rejection risk.
- Mechanism. A pop-up ejector adds parts, springs and assembly steps versus a static plate.
- Packaging. At low volume a foil rigid box can cost more than the wallet; poly bag and mailer are the cheap defaults.
