Branded card holders for Türkiye corporate and travel gifting
Leather and aluminium card holders with optional RFID protection, for İstanbul executives and travel. Hand-finished in Zeytinburnu. MOQ 100, KDV 20% e-Fatura.
Where a card holder earns its slot
Three Türkiye audiences keep a branded card holder in steady rotation. Executive travel programmes at Levent and Maslak tech campuses run 100–500 unit programmes of a leather card holder with a passport sleeve — the gift goes into every business-trip carry-on. Banks and finance programmes at Garanti BBVA, İş Bankası, Akbank commission 200–2,000 unit programmes of an aluminium RFID-blocking card holder as a customer-loyalty gift. Travel-agency VIP kits at İstanbul's tour operators (ETS, Setur, AnadoluJet Holidays) run 100–500 unit programmes of a leather card holder with a sewn-in luggage tag.
Two formats we run
The first is a full-grain veg-tan leather card holder (95×65 mm, 4 card slots, centre pocket) hand-cut and stitched in İstanbul's Zeytinburnu leather cluster, with hot-stamped brand on the front face. The second is an aluminium or stainless card wallet (95×65 mm, RFID-blocking, holds 5–8 cards, push-button ejection) with laser-engraved brand on the front face. Both are 100% customisable in Pantone colour (leather) or anodising colour (aluminium). For executive programmes we offer a leather card holder with a passport sleeve (180×95 mm passport pocket, 4 card slots).
How the card holder gets branded
Hot-stamping with a brass die is the move on leather — the brand sits in the Pantone colour on the front face, deep into the leather. Laser engraving on aluminium (60×30 mm typical) is the default for metal — 0.3 mm depth, no ink, no chip, reads against the metal. Silk-screen on leather (one or two Pantone colours) is the value option for 500+ unit runs. We avoid heat-transfer on both surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Leather or aluminium?
Leather (full-grain veg-tan) for executive programmes and premium travel kits. Aluminium (RFID-blocking) for bank loyalty and travel-agency programmes where RFID protection matters.

Yes — the aluminium wallet blocks RFID card readers up to 13.56 MHz, covering all contactless cards (credit cards, transit cards, hotel keys). Common for travel programmes.
