Bamboo NFC business card

AED 149

A bamboo NFC business card from Cardly.ae costs AED 149 one-time: natural bamboo with your name and title engraved on the front, dispatched in 1–3 working days and delivered across the UAE. Every card has its own grain, so no two look exactly alike.

Personalise your card

Colour: Natural bamboo

Printed exactly as typed. Arabic names are supported. 0/40

Optional

It opens the same digital card as the NFC chip, so phones without NFC can scan it — and it follows the chip if you switch digital cards later.

Once your payment is confirmed, you’ll see a proof of your card on your order page. It goes into production only after you approve the design.

Want your logo instead of your initials? Upload it on your order page once payment is confirmed, when you approve the design.

What makes the bamboo card different

Natural grain, engraved lettering

Bamboo has a visible natural grain, and your name and title are engraved into the surface rather than printed on it, so the lettering has a crafted, tactile feel. The grain and tone vary from card to card, which is part of the appeal: no two cards look exactly alike.

Looking after it

Treat it like any natural wooden accessory: keep it dry, wipe it with a dry or barely damp cloth, and don’t soak it or leave it in strong sun for long. Carry it in a cardholder rather than loose with your keys, so the engraving stays crisp.

Who it suits

Bamboo suits brands that feel warm, natural or design-led — architects, interior designers, cafés and wellness businesses — and anyone who wants a card that starts a conversation. Like every Cardly.ae card, it opens your digital card on iPhone XS and newer and on Android phones with NFC switched on.

FAQ

Bamboo NFC card questions

Is this a wooden business card?

Yes — it’s what most people call a wooden NFC business card. Bamboo is cut and finished like wood and has a natural grain, although botanically it’s a grass. Your name and title are engraved into it, and an NFC chip inside opens your Cardly.ae digital card.

Why does bamboo cost more than PVC?

Bamboo is a natural material, and each card is engraved rather than printed. The NFC chip, the digital card and the features are the same on every Cardly.ae card, so the difference in price pays for the material and the engraving, not for extra functions.

Will my card look exactly like the preview?

Not exactly. The preview shows the layout — your name and title on the front — but bamboo grain and colour vary naturally, so your card will have its own pattern. Once your payment is confirmed, you approve a proof of the layout before we engrave it.

Can I have my company logo engraved?

Yes. Upload your logo once your payment is confirmed, when you approve your card design, and it’s engraved in place of your initials. Engraving marks bamboo in a single tone, so the proof shows your logo in one colour. For a fully custom design or a large team order, contact our sales team.

Can the card have a QR code too?

Yes. Switch on “Print a QR code on the back” when you order; on bamboo the code is engraved. It opens the same digital card as the NFC chip, so phones without NFC can scan it, and it follows the chip if you link it to a different digital card later.
