Metal (aluminium/stainless) card cases feel premium and protect cards — great for executive networking gifts and engraving. PU or genuine leather reads classic and debosses beautifully. Silicone/PVC adhesive holders are cheap, colourful giveaways. Match the material to the audience and budget — a metal case for clients, a leather one for staff, a silicone phone holder for a mass campaign.
