What alloy is the MMEETT aluminum card made from?

6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, the same material used in aerospace structures. It is anodized for scratch resistance and available in five colors.

How thick is the aluminum card?

0.8mm — the same thickness as 3–4 standard credit cards stacked. It fits in all standard wallets and card holders.

Does the color fade over time?

No. Type II anodizing integrates the color into the aluminum oxide layer. It will not chip, peel, or fade under normal use.

Is the aluminum card waterproof?

Yes. The anodized surface and sealed NFC assembly are rated IP67. It survives rain, spills, and brief submersion.

Can I engrave on both sides?

Yes. Single-side engraving is included. Double-side engraving is available for an additional USD 18.

How does aluminum compare to steel for NFC?

Aluminum achieves 12% better read range than plastic in our testing. Steel matches plastic exactly. Both use the same patented slot-cut antenna.

Is there a bulk discount for teams?

Yes. Orders of 10+ cards receive 15% off. Orders of 50+ receive 25% off and a dedicated account manager.

Material

Why 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum?

6061-T6 is the workhorse of aerospace engineering. It is used in fuselage panels, wing spars, and satellite structures because it combines strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. When MMEETT selected a material for its entry-level metal card, 6061-T6 was the obvious choice: it is 2.7x lighter than steel, 1.6x stronger than pure aluminum, and anodizes beautifully for color consistency.

The "T6" designation means the alloy has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged. This gives it a yield strength of 276 MPa — roughly equivalent to mild steel — while remaining light enough to carry comfortably in any wallet. The anodized surface layer is 25 microns thick, providing scratch resistance that exceeds most consumer electronics finishes.

Finishes

Five Anodized Colors, One Premium Feel

MMEETT offers the aluminum card in five anodized finishes:

Matte Black: The bestseller. High-contrast laser engraving reads clearly against the dark background. Preferred by consultants, attorneys, and cybersecurity professionals.
Space Gray: The startup favorite. Matches MacBook and iPhone aesthetics. Chosen by founders, designers, and SaaS executives.
Champagne Gold: Warm and approachable. Popular in real estate, hospitality, and luxury retail.
Rose Gold: Distinctive without being flashy. Favored by creative directors, brand strategists, and event planners.
Raw Silver: The minimalist choice. Unanodized brushed aluminum that develops a natural patina over time. Preferred by engineers and architects.

Each finish is Type II anodized for environmental durability. They resist fingerprints, salt spray, and UV exposure. The color is integral to the surface — it cannot chip or peel like painted plastic cards.

Features

NFC, AI, and Recording in a Slim Profile

At 0.8mm thick and 18g, the aluminum card fits standard wallets and card holders without bulging. Despite the slim profile, it contains:

NTAG 424 DNA NFC chip with AES-128 encryption and SUN (Secure Unique NFC) messaging for anti-cloning protection.
Dual-band antenna optimized for both Android and iOS read performance.
Edge-mounted MEMS microphone array for meeting recording and voice commands.
32GB local storage for encrypted audio recordings and offline translation packs.

The card syncs with the MMEETT app via Bluetooth 5.3 LE. A full charge takes 45 minutes via USB-C and delivers 60+ days of standby or 12 hours of continuous recording and translation.

Use Cases

Who Chooses the Aluminum Model?

The aluminum card is the default choice for professionals who want premium feel without the weight of steel or titanium. It is particularly popular among:

Software engineers and product managers who value the space gray aesthetic.
Sales teams ordering in bulk — the USD 98 price point allows team-wide rollout without financial strain.
Freelancers and consultants who need a card that impresses clients but does not dominate a casual coffee meeting.
Conference attendees who want a memorable leave-behind that fits in a lanyard badge holder.
