Custom Metal Credit Cards

Carbon Co Skin Allows Consumers to Upgrade Their Credit and Debit Cards

— October 27, 2021 — Tech
Carbon Co Skins recently gained notable attention on social media for transforming traditional debit and credit cards into stunning metal cards. The new metal cards will function the same as their previous card, with the chip having been transferred to the new card and the information printed on the back.

Carbon Co Skins offers a range of pre-made templates or allows users to create their own custom designs. These designs range from iconic characters to dynamic zodiac signs. The process is simple to complete. Consumers pick out a design and then freeze or lock their card and ship it to Carbon Co Skins. The brand will immediately complete the transfer process and ship back both the new and metal cards with 1-2 days.
