Movies Metal Cards

Upgrade Any Credit Card Into a Movies Metal Card

You can quote the whole scene. You own the poster, maybe the box set. The one place your taste never shows up is the card you use daily.

Lion Card converts your plastic credit, debit, or prepaid card into a laser-engraved movie metal card via our patented EMV chip transplant, U.S. Patent No. 11,562,194, trusted by over 50,000 customers since 2015.

Still your card. Same account, same number, same bank. Now it has a poster.

Why Film Fans Choose Engraved Metal

Cinema built its look on light and shadow, and engraving speaks exactly that language.

• Poster contrast, cut in steel: Iconic film imagery runs on silhouette and shadow, which laser engraving renders at full drama.
• No fade to gray: A printed card dulls with handling. Engraving is removed metal that daily carry will not erase.
• 28 grams of production value: A plastic card weighs about 6 grams. Yours weighs 28 grams, a prop-grade object in your pocket.
• A premiere at every checkout: The design shows every time you pay, which is more screenings than any poster gets.
• Preset or fully custom: Pick a design above, or bring your favorite scene or symbol to our custom team.

Silhouette or Scene, How to Choose

Film designs engrave two ways, and the right one depends on how much of the frame you want to keep.

Choose silhouette styling for icons

A single figure, object, or symbol against clean steel hits like a teaser poster. Minimal elements engrave boldest and read across a room. Most presets in this collection take this route.

Choose scene styling for the frame

A fuller composition carries more of the moment, simplified so it stays legible at card size. Our team adjusts contrast on your mockup before cutting.

How It Works

Your card gets re-engineered, not recreated. We transplant your real EMV chip into a metal body, so your account number and bank never change. Simple on your end, precise on ours.

• Order: Pick a design and get a prepaid, tracked label by email.
• Ship: Send your card, or freeze it first. We never ask for your PIN.
• Approve: Sign off on the emailed mockup before anything is made.
• Receive: Both cards come back together with tracking.

Does a movie design change how the card works?

No. Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original card worked, and you can tap through Apple Pay or Google Pay. Just avoid ATMs that pull the card fully in.

Can you engrave a specific film scene or poster?

Share your reference with a custom order, and our team confirms what can be produced. Rights-restricted artwork is flagged up front with an alternative. The mockup you approve is exactly what gets engraved.

Can I add a quote or a line of text?

Yes, short text engraves beautifully alongside imagery. A few words in the right typeface can carry the whole design. Placement and font appear in your mockup before we cut.

Does dark, moody artwork work in engraving?

Yes, better than almost anything else. Engraving is a study in contrast, and noir-style shadows translate directly into cut and uncut steel. The moodier the source, the stronger the result.

Can I pair a movie card with a matching second card?

Yes. Some customers convert two cards as a themed pair, one motif per account. Order each conversion separately and note the pairing so styling stays consistent.

Is it safe to mail you my card?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI-compliant and BBB A+ accredited, and we guarantee a safe process or your money back. Freeze your card before mailing, and we never ask for your PIN or passwords.
