PIXEL is the most customisable Smart Business Card in the world. You design the card yourself in PIXEL’s 3D card designer on pixel-nfc.com: card colour, logo, logo size and preset layout, all shown on a 3D card before you order. We haven’t found another Smart Business Card anywhere that puts this many design controls directly in the buyer’s hands.
You approve the design yourself when you order, so there is no design brief to send and no proof to wait for.
PIXEL is a Smart Business Card company based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and exhibited at LEAP 2026. This guide lists every customisation option PIXEL offers and shows how to use the 3D card designer, step by step.
PIXEL. The table lists every design option a PIXEL buyer controls. Each one is set by the buyer directly, with no design team in between.

PIXEL is different in two ways: you finish the whole design before you buy, and the designer gives you enough control to do it yourself. A complete card takes under 5 minutes in the PIXEL 3D card designer. The 3D card you see is the card that gets printed, so there is no guesswork about the final result.
We compared PIXEL with six major Smart Business Card providers in Saudi Arabia and internationally, using how each describes its process on its own site in October 2026.
With several providers, you pay first and the design is finished afterwards. V1CE asks for your logo after checkout, then a designer draws the card for you to approve. Mobilo takes the order and payment first, then you upload your logo through a design portal and review a proof.
Where you can design before paying, the final card can still change after you order. Rabt’s team puts final touches on designs, and Tapt reviews designs before printing, sending a proof on some orders.
With PIXEL, the design is complete before you pay. What you approve in the 3D view is what is printed.
| Provider | Market | What you can customise, per their site | What PIXEL adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rabt | Saudi Arabia | A flat card mockup with card colour for front and back, font and QR code colour, and logo upload | A 3D view of your own card, white background removal and colour matching |
| 360Tapit | Saudi Arabia | A choice of nine fixed card finishes, printed on one or both sides | Free card colour choice on the PIXEL Original, and a 3D view of your card |
| Linq | International | A built-in designer, with the custom card in four colours | Free card colour choice on the PIXEL Original, a 3D view, background removal and colour matching |
| Tapt | International | A Card Customiser with templates, logo, colours, font and a flat preview | A 3D view, white background removal and colour matching |
| V1CE | International | No self-service designer: a V1CE designer draws the card from your logo | You design the card yourself, in one sitting |
| Mobilo | International | No self-service designer described: you upload a design and review a proof | You design the card yourself and see it in 3D |
Three PIXEL controls did not appear on any of these sites: a 3D view of your own card, white background removal for your logo, and matching the card colour to your logo’s background.
The PIXEL 3D card designer is the tool on pixel-nfc.com where you build the design of your Smart Business Card and see it as a 3D card on your screen. It opens from the shop page when you select “Customize your card”. What you see on screen is what gets printed.
You design a PIXEL Smart Business Card in seven steps, all in the 3D card designer, and the 3D card updates as you go.
PIXEL offers two Smart Business Cards. The PIXEL Original has a full-colour print and costs SAR 125. The PIXEL Metal Edition is solid metal with a brushed silver edge, comes in four metal finishes and costs SAR 235. Both use the same NFC chip technology and work the same way when tapped on a phone.
On the PIXEL Original, pick the colour of the card itself. The 3D card on screen changes to that colour straight away, so you can judge it against your logo before going further. The PIXEL Metal Edition comes in four distinct metal finishes instead of a free colour choice, so you pick a finish. A blue metal card, for example, is not an option.
Upload your logo file directly in the designer. PDF and SVG are vector formats, so they print sharp at any size. A PNG works too, and the higher its resolution, the sharper the print.
If your logo file has a white background, the designer can remove it. The logo then sits directly on the card colour instead of inside a white box, and you don’t need an image editor to prepare the file first.
If your logo has a coloured background, the designer can match the card colour to it. The logo and the card then read as one continuous surface. Colour matching applies to the PIXEL Original, because the Metal Edition uses its four fixed finishes.
Set how large the logo appears on the card, then choose a layout. Layouts are preset designs, the same ones shown on PIXEL’s product pages. You pick the preset you want and apply your own logo and details to it.
Look over the finished card in the 3D view, then place the order. The design you approved on screen is the design that gets printed. Orders are produced and dispatched within a few business days, with a tracking link once shipped.
No. With PIXEL you design the card yourself and approve it yourself, in one sitting. A common alternative is a design service: you send your logo and brand colours, a designer prepares the card, and you approve a proof before it is printed.
| PIXEL 3D card designer | Design-service route | |
|---|---|---|
| Who designs the card | You, in the designer | The provider’s design team |
| How you see the result | A 3D card on screen while you design | A proof sent to you for review |
| Who approves it | You, when you order | You, after the proof arrives |
| Logo preparation | White background removal and resizing in the designer | Handled by the designer |
Individuals upload their logo and build the card in the designer. Teams that already have finished artwork can upload a full custom design instead, as described in the next section.
Yes. A PIXEL team order uses one branded company design, with each employee’s name and position changing from card to card. Team orders start at 3 cards and are placed from the Teams shop.
Team orders can also upload a fully custom design for the front of the card, the back, or both, and add a logo on top of it. Custom designs are uploaded as a PNG, PDF or SVG. This option is for team orders; individual cards are designed with a logo upload in the 3D card designer.
For larger teams, or if every employee needs a different design, contact PIXEL for a custom order.
PIXEL. You control the card colour or metal finish, logo, logo size, background removal, colour matching and preset layout yourself in PIXEL’s 3D card designer, and teams can upload a full custom design for the front and back.
