Lasering specialty metal business cards

Laser

Hi there, I know we can laser off the powder coating on metal tumblers and lasering metal with a special coating. I just wanted to get a second opinion on lasering metal business cards before I purchased anything, Would the type of cards below be okay to engrave?

Yes, these are fine to do. I’ve done several of them myself.

If you want it to be repeatable, either jig something up in the thunders for alignment, or use the engraving bed on the fusion and align the card against the upper-left corner.
