🧩 VKARD Custom PVC


Two PVC versions are available:


  • Black PVC card: Best for a clean design with white elements on a black background or a few colored details. Not suitable for large areas of color or complex visuals.
  • White PVC card: Allows full customization with color printing, background fills, patterns, and unlimited creativity.



💼 VKARD SILVER/GOLD


VKARD Metal is a black metallic card available in two finishes:


  • Gold
  • Silver


Laser engraving:


  • The engraving is done by laser and requires a vector file (mandatory).
  • The laser removes the top coating to reveal the raw metal underneath:
  • gold on a Gold card
  • silver on a Silver card


👉 Other colors cannot be engraved. For a colored logo, choose a Black PVC card instead.


NFC functionality:


  • The Metal Silver and Gold versions are hybrid cards: only the front is metal. A fully metallic card would block NFC.
  • The back is PVC (not engravable), ensuring the NFC chip works properly.



📌 VKARD Light


The VKARD Light is a ready-to-use NFC digital business card. It is designed to be self-configured as soon as you receive it.


  • Non-customizable (standard design)
  • Same functionalities as PVC, Bamboo, Metal Silver, and Metal Gold
  • Perfect for getting started quickly without personalization

The VKARD Stars is an NFC card designed for collecting customer reviews on Google My Business.


  • Redirects directly to your Google page to leave a review ⭐
  • 100% self-configurable upon receipt
  • Unique design, non-customizable



🖥️ VKARD Desk


The VKARD Desk is the desktop version of VKARD Stars, in an NFC display stand format.

🔑 VKARD KeyChain


The VKARD KeyChain is a digital business card in a keychain format, ideal for entrepreneurs on the go.
