CLNK — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CLNK custom engraved solid-metal cards, Judaica designs, personalization, and how ordering works.
What is CLNK?
CLNK makes premium, personalized solid-metal cards — engraved keepsakes the size of a credit card. We're best known for custom metal cards you design yourself, a growing line of Jewish (Judaica) designs, engravable jewelry, and metal NFC business cards. Everything is made to order in New Jersey and Brooklyn.
What are CLNK cards made of?
Our cards are solid metal in the standard CR80 credit-card size and thickness, so they look and feel like a real premium card. The engraving is cut into the metal, so it won't rub off or fade like printing.
Can I design my own card?
Yes. Our live online designer lets you create your own card from scratch — add your name, a photo, or Hebrew text and see a preview before you order. You can also start from one of our ready-made designs and personalize it.
What can I put on a metal card?
A name, a date, a photo, Hebrew lettering, a logo, or a meaningful phrase. If you can picture it, we can usually engrave it. For fully custom artwork or a company logo, send us your idea and we'll prepare a proof.
Do you offer Jewish and Judaica designs?
Yes — Judaica is a specialty. Our ready-made collection includes designs like the Kotel (Western Wall), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Viznitzer Rebbe, Reb Shayele of Kerestir, Dancing Chassidim, Hatzalah, and tzedakah themes. Each can be personalized with your name. We also engrave Hebrew text on request.
How long does an order take?
For most orders we send a proof for your approval within about 2 business days. After you approve, engraving takes about 3–5 business days, and shipping is another 3–5 business days. Walk-in and in-person orders at our locations can often be done much faster.
Do you have ready-made designs, or is everything custom?
Both. You can pick a ready-made CLNK design and we'll engrave it with your name, or you can design your own from scratch with our online designer. Custom designs are priced a little higher than ready-made cards.
Do you make metal NFC business cards?
Yes. Our metal NFC business cards are laser-engraved with your name, title, and logo, and include a tap-to-share chip — one tap shares your contact details, website, or portfolio. No app required.
Can I watch my card being engraved?
At our in-person locations in Brooklyn and Lakewood, New Jersey, you can often watch your card engraved on the spot. See our Visit Us page for current hours and locations.
Do you ship?
Yes, we ship across the United States. You'll receive your engraved card after the proof-and-engraving process described above.
Is the engraving permanent?
Yes. Because the design is engraved into solid metal rather than printed on top, it's durable and long-lasting — built to be a keepsake.
How do I get started?
