Not gonna be cheap! Not sure if a die-cut could even handle that fine detail. Might have to go laser. Actually, with metal or plastic you would have to.

i'd just get it printed square with white background and round corners to match lens mount.
round cornering or using a stock round die is much much cheaper than custom.
those little thing hanging off the left and bottom would be a nightmare in your wallet if diecut.
- what about clear plastic background instead of the white and metal foil for details?tedvandell

This sounds like a really silly idea...
- Yes biz cards are silly, but necessary and photography is a competitive biz.tedvandell
- But a die cut camera part doesn't say 'I'm a great photographer' it screams 'expensive gimmick'orrinward
- I haven't found a card that screams I'm a great photographer so gimmick it istedvandell

There are some printers in Vegas you can contact. One we use is called Creel and you'd want to talk to Sherif Saad. They mostly do web-fed print runs, but they may have some recommendations for you.
I hope you don't mind spending a grip on those cards. They look cool, but diecut on plastic or metal and printed is not going to be cheap.
Email me if you want Sherif's phone number.
- that's going to be like $2 per card at least (I'm just guessing)Miguex
