UV Color Cards

Upgrade Any Credit Card Into a Full-Color Metal Card

Some designs need the whole palette. Gradients, photographs, character art, brand color- the work that loses everything in monochrome.

Lion Card converts your plastic credit, debit, or prepaid card into a UV color-printed 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 in full color.

Why Color Lovers Choose UV Printed Metal

Engraving speaks in steel tones. This collection speaks in every tone.

• Photo-quality on metal: UV printing reproduces photographs, gradients, and saturated art that engraving cannot touch.
• Vibrant and durable: The color is cured onto the card for daily carry, not a sticker or wrap.
• 28 grams underneath: A plastic card weighs about 6 grams. Yours weighs 28 grams, full metal under full color.
• Every style open: Character art, landscapes, abstracts, and brand color land on the card exactly as designed.
• Preset or fully custom: Pick a design above, or print your own photo or artwork through our custom team.

For monochrome, textured designs instead, browse our ​engraved metal cards.

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 UV printing 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.

Will the color fade or scratch off?

The print is UV cured onto the metal for daily use, not a layer that peels like a skin or sticker. Any finished surface shows life over years of carry. A dedicated wallet slot away from keys and coins keeps it vivid the longest.

Can I print my own photo on the card?

Yes, through the custom route. High-resolution images work best, and our team reviews yours first. The mockup shows exactly how the photo sits on the card.

How is UV color different from engraving?

Engraving cuts a design into steel in metal tones, while UV printing lays full color on top. Engraving suits linework and monograms, UV suits photos and vivid art. Both run on the same patented conversion.

Can text or a logo be part of a UV design?

Yes, type and logos print alongside imagery, and permitted marks are confirmed during design review. Placement and sizing appear in your mockup. Rights-restricted artwork is flagged up front with an alternative.

Will the printed colors match my artwork?

The mockup is your color proof, and our team adjusts saturation and contrast so the print lands true to your file. You approve it before anything is printed. High-resolution artwork gives the most faithful result.

Is it safe to mail you my card?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI compliant, 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.
