# Wallet card vs engraved bracelet

The code is the same either way and so is the page it reaches. What differs is what it survives, what it costs, and whether an engraver can mark it at all.

The difference that matters

## The card needs no engraver, no minimum width and no fiber laser.

Side by side

## What each one is, and when it operates

**Printed wallet card**

A plastic card carrying the code, printed and shipped. You can also print your own free, ten to a sheet. **Available now, $25 one-time, shipped free within the United States.**

**Engraved bracelet**

Stainless steel, engraved with your code. **Announced and not yet purchasable. Needs a plate at least 14 mm wide, 17 mm asked for, a matte finish and a fiber laser.**

Also easy to confuse
