"I've made something I don't entirely hate". Congratulations, you're now a graphic designer.
It’s China.
Basically they have slaves.
Ooof.. That hit home
This made me laugh. Well done.
@@whteman2 Are you sure about that?
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet
Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness. Oh my God, it even has a watermark.
Arbiter099 one of my favorite scenes from any movie
I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's card to mine.
Came for this ^_^
Haha, nice one ;).
I love this movie, its simply perfection, top 3..5? so good.
Imagine Scotty showing up with this card in the American Psycho scene 😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣🤣
Bro the american psycho scenes cam in my recommendations below this video 😂
BUT... That one had to be in Egg Shell White! Niiiiice!
Dear God, it even has a watermark.
orgasm
Steve Wozniaks business card a decade ago was laser cut sheet metal. Thinner than these and much more cut out lettering, but basically the same idea. He may still carry them around. I actually have one he gave to me. Cool idea man, loved the video!
those are going for 1.5k right now
@@mikemathisen34 I'd keep it, that's amazing
He still hands them out. He had some on Steve-0s podcast a few days ago
This is the stuff I'm here for! Even something simple like business cards can be interesting!
F yeah man for real this is the best content
Pretty uninteresting
@@thegoodguy44 Just like your life
ruclips.net/video/cISYzA36-ZY/видео.html
Because it is Strange
Thank you Mr Tong for showing us your factory :)
@Ken Mason Who doesn't?
@@ansonjiang8238 5:21 he wanted to yank Mr Tong lol
No worries
Mr tongs is used for food
Mr Tong I have built a shrine in your honor and my children pray to it daily. Tong Bless.
A lot of necks were broken in the making of this video
Lmfao so I wasn't the only one that noticed that lol
hahaha
I dont understand
many people who walk past him...looked back at him...
hahhahaa
Thank you Tony for helping our guy with translations at the factory 😊
Tony: There's a machine downstair, that cuts through.....
Scotty: Oh! *face lights up*
Tony: .... but it's too dangerous
Scotty: Too dangerous *disappoints*
Without protective glasses I assume the worker might be in danger already.
top secrets,maybe?
@@trendskai790 no secret, if those high-energy lasers can make their way through metal, they will cause serious damage if mishandled (severe cuts / blindness).
"This is a really serious operation here." Its amazing they devoted two whole factory buildings for this, and had to move due to pollution/chemicals. They have a good system going it looks like. Like the little cousin of PCBs.

I’m graphic designer and you made it such a amazing thing. I had seen metal press cards before, so you did an wonderful thing. Congratulations. 🍾🎉🎈🎊
i was more amused watching the people stare at him for holding a camera
I love Apple Juice: There aren't many 6 foot plus red heads in China. Maybe it wasn't because of the camera that they were staring. 😯
"Strange Parts" is a major brand in my book.
your books too narrow minded then
yes. you do need a business card in China,
to print your wechat QR code
The funny part about that is that on the Card there isn't a Wechat Barcode. Its only a RUclips Link to his channel.
@@aksquad5522 I'd assume those are just for promotional purposes whereas the ones with his personal info has the wechat code.
@@curtisbme Can be possible because at one point he skips a frame to not show the backside
@@aksquad5522 it's on the back, he showed it in the video
It’s actually scary how everything has a QR code in China. I joked to my sister about running out of QR code’s cuz it’s on addresses, cars, random papers, to pay, everything bruh
The amazing thing about this channel is, Chinese and foreigners can both watch his video and learn something new. Good job!
I like that he's been in China for so long that getting honked at from behind doesn't make him jump 😂😂
[From google translation]
As a printer always beginner (5 years currently in France), I am really surprised and happy to see that the use of sunscreen film is still used for the creation of these plates at the beginning of the trial. A big thank you for allowing people to know this profession that is disrupted from day to day 😊
I never knew about metal business cards, definitely need to make some for personal purposes (first impression guaranteed). Thanks and LIKE
I would totally buy a card as Strange Parts memorabilia/merch!
This WAS awesome, Scotty! Thanks, man! I'm SUPER-STOKED to get them to make my business cards! They looked awesome, and the options were ridiculous! Thanks again!
If someone is wondering what huge brand it was. It was Amazon. I have a friend that works in the Amazon brand accessories department. Sent him this video, and he mentioned that it was them, Amazon. And he loved the prosess of how they got made.
what kind of amazon card?
What kind?
A special kind of Amazon gift card perhaps?
i'm pretty sure they were American Express Prestige black card
That's awesome... Thanks for showing the process! I need to get some cards.. haha
Fantastic video. It's absolutely fascinating watching these being made
Loved the video. Althoigh, I felt as if I’m watching a younger Conan O Brien hosting 😅
Wait, LTX? YOU'RE GOING TO LTX THIS YEAR???? Thats awesome!
Yea, I don't know if that was officially announced yet or not so spoiler. Unfortunately I cannot go as I have to be elsewhere. LTX will be epic though.
It was confirmed that he was planning on going during a WAN Show
Keep showing us the factories. I liked them a lot
I've got Kevin Mitnicks business card. Its metal like this but has detachable lock picks etched on it
Thanks for that awesome tour. Great job on your part as well.
That's really neat! Had a feeling how they were made, nice to see in detail.
They over there making American Express Centurion cards.... 👀
my first thoughts too!
These are replica collectors with no official AMEX recogition.
www.aliexpress.com/item/Personalized-building-cutout-quality-stainless-steel-business-metal-card/869125865.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.100009.1.3fc43198xt79Da&gps-id=pcDetailLeftTopSell&scm=1007.13482.95643.0&scm_id=1007.13482.95643.0&scm-url=1007.13482.95643.0&pvid=61285d4c-c9b4-4d45-bba5-35506b64c6de
No, it is not the Amex Centurion. At least not the current batch
@@MalteSittig got any photos of the latest ones?
johnny chang wow! Looks so good
Awesome video! Your videos inspired me to visit Shenzhen a few months ago.
It would be cool to see a video about laptop shell manufacturers. We now know how they make PCB's.
But I always wondered how they design/manufacture the complete laptop shell. Maybe an Idea for one of your next videos?
That major major brand is American Express black card🤣
Yeah lol you see it in the video
I thought the same
They are fakes. You can see the listing in the store he links. There's a lot of companies making them.
No it’s Apples credit cards
Apple's
Not only do you make the coolest videos... Thank for helping me find my new business card supplier! :)
Yes
i don't need cards, but i honestly ordered because they look great! thanks for the link :D
rip environment duhh
You are absolutely inspiring everyone to be curious.
Best business cards I have ever seen so sick
That is indeed a very sharp business card...
Love from Batam City of Indonesia!
You are putting Patrick Bateman to shame with that card!
Good someone in the comments made the reference
He would kill for a card like this
Is that an American Psycho reference?
Thanks Jesus! I'm not the only person who thought about this.
The lines are so crisp. The feel is to die for. How dare he show me up like this lol :P
This was dope! Something as simple as a business card being made. Loved it, thanks for sharing! 😍
I must say this is awesome... And thank you so much for showing this to us... Now I'm excited to order one for me 😁
Awesome cards! Didn't realize there was much work going into making them. Thanks for doing the tour for us!
A friend of mine actually ordered from them and we were really surprised how small of a production run they're willing to make, even at the prices they set. He had like 200 metal clips or so etched and it only took like a month. What even more surprised me was that every single one was individually packaged... The kind of effort that takes would be impossible to get for that price here in Germany
Wow. The cards at 13:22 are actual credit cards with numbers and expiration dates and stuff.
Drago Grossberg yeah american express does metal cards just like that
@@kageversace2931 yeah but I feel like it's irresponsible to put those on the internet for some reason.
But don't showed the verification code.
If you got a load of them printed, I'd totally buy one as merch......
Wow, it's amazing how tech has evolved so quickly.
I love your videos! and I really like your energy and personality, I've been watching you since first videos, Im very happy to see you grow so much!
13:18 Get your free credit card details here...
Repaired a network for a company and they gave me this nice clear plastic business card, probably the best one i've ever seen.
2:00 this man summarizes graphic design over a period of 8 seconds
totally 🤣
Got to love China, instead of wearing a respirator the guy dealing with the toxic chemicals wears a surgical mask.
Awesome cards, and the QR code worked Great!!!
You never think about a process of making even small things until you actually see this, thanks Scotty, great video as always :D
China always made me say “Wow”.
And number one
Makes*
@@WhiteLie---------------------1 numbah*
i visited china in May 2019, i said wow too
China > japan
This seems like it could be a nightmare when dealing with The TSA EDIT: Many frequent travelers don't use checked baggage.
Nosh Abroad he could just ship it to himself
@@Juanguar He wants to travel to and from America. This is going to come up every time he passes through TSA. Sure, he could put business cards in his checked baggage (if he has checked baggage at all) but the point is to have business card in your wallet so you can give it to someone when needed.
@@MrTeetec I just see them making a stink about having a metal object on your person that could be used maliciously. I have been force to trow away items even more innocuous than this when traveling through American Airports.
Just stick them in a checked bag.
@@descendency Many frequent travelers don't use checked baggage. Especially business travel. I prefer carry on and personal item only to save time.
Nice tour I enjoyed watching it
Cool process
That lady at 13:45 should definitely wear laser goggles
Wait....you're coming to LTX?
YES!
Too far for me but OMG this is a big deal!
@@lezorn Even if you can't make it to LTX, it's ok. The content that will come out of the event will be amazing!
Those are beautiful. I used to have a metal social security card. I bought it at a mall kiosk when I was 17. I carried it to keep my original safe. Everyone accepted it until around 2005 or so when no one would.
I love it. Thank you so much scottie! Great video!
you are glowing with exitement
That's so awesome. Im super jealous.
-- "Dream a Little Bigger, Darling"
@@firthlaist218 I can be jealous of something totally attainable lol. I never thought to look into these.
Sir Nicholas
Then please, allow me the privilege of receiving your very second Lazer Cut Bizzy Card ....and THEN dream a little bigger 😆👌🏼
Wow this is absolutely awesome stuff to impress my mate👍🏽👍🏽
Wow, increible el trabajo que hay detras...gracias
I wonder if that’s where apples new bank cards are made🤔
i received my apple card a few weeks ago, they're very thick titanium, definitely wouldn't be coming from a rolled up sheet of metal
They definitely are coming from a rolled up sheet of metal lol.
@@Pbpred yeah lol
@@kylesmith2990 A swiss army knife is also made from rolled up metal as far as i know 😂
@@Bildschirm100 hopefully with a phillips head screwdriver
I really like your video and hope that your video will add Chinese subtitles in the future, because you have many fans in China.
可以打开自动翻译老哥
@@redman77464 翻譯得非常不準確啊
@@weiesschwein7206 不準 自动翻译 哥哥可準
“Many fans in China” who are accessing RUclips illegally...
@@microsoftcortana9239 😂😂🤣🤣😂
B-roll with the rainy scene was straight from Ghost in the Shell. Loved it.
Cool, I had those made 20 years ago, they were such a hit... people love them
It's always fun to see how many people look back at you as you walk and talk to your camera(/phone?)...
Just curious: Do you still feel embarrassed or anything similar when you do it or has it just become normal for you?
It's gotten easier over time, but it's still nerve wracking to shoot in public.
@@StrangeParts And, are there any videos that never came to life, gone inside a stollen camera?
@@rodrodanux8349 Never had a camera stolen, but yes, there are definitely some videos that haven't seen the light of day. Usually because I stopped shooting them partway through and thus don't have an ending.
@@StrangeParts bruh.
REALLY hope to get one of your business cards for collection，it's designed by Strange Parts！
BTW your video clip is getting better and better now，I've watched all of your videos, waiting for your next！🍻
Super cool business cards
Really enjoyed this video!
Gratz! Hope your travels and events go well.Thank you for such an interesting and informative video.
When he is walking in the beginning, look at literally everyone looking at him LULW
I love your video, your lens captured some very beautiful scene of this culture.
amazing never stop uploading!
Shoutout to Inkscape! It's an amazing piece of software
Hi , could you send me one card please , i just wanna impress my friends when we do coke
😂
My man was thinking the same 👌🏼😤
You don't say coke, you say white lines my friend.
@@manuelescobedo3546 he can say it how he wants
@@manuelescobedo3546 no my friend we say Charlie lmao
Interesting visit cards idea! Thanks for the video.
chemical etching has been around used in signs for a very long time. First time seeing such a serious operations used for namecards. Amazed by their whole operation
I love how everybody just like turns around to look.
To check out what the white guy is doing in China. You know what white guys are known for, especially in Asia.
13:40 , they are making American Express Black Cards lololol
They're probably the fake ones sold from China.
He did say they do major brands so that's possibly where they are made 🤷♂️
Yeah.. Black alright... BLACK MARKET!!
They are fakes. You can see the listing in the store he links. There's a lot of companies making them.
@@WallHaxxx Lol you've been in all the comments saying it's fake. Looks like you need to go and check yourself.
I am really glad i subscribed. Sweet channel, every video is gold!
Love your work man. keep up the good work
"Hēi ! There's a strange man talking to a device on a stick! Must clone and sell!"
Love the kids working in the factory
Wow, very interesting process.
stunning ...my favorite
I think it is the Apple Card
Got to wonder why no one wears laser eye protection. I guess it's just cheaper to hire fresh eyes.
@@pulesjet yeah those silly people who protect us from harm. Things would be much better if i could just afford to eat out a couple times a week,
Plus no guarding on the laser machines to prevent finger burns. It looks like the operator was placing one card whilst the other was burning then pressing a switch to let the laser controller know it was present then removing the card that was completed.
Fase safety:
Which eye protection does resist to >500W laser ?
Nothing you could wear, glasses would explode...
If they had worked you would be wearing them 😉
It is china they all have fake eyes.
Fantastic video!
thanks a lot ... you make me see things i never know that it's exist .. thanks again .. you are awesome
Is the major brand an American Express Black card?
i guess its the apple card
Personally I'd just carry a small pocket sized print stamp with a QR Code on for scraps of paper.
thats very creative but also kinda boot leg lol
@@raygrenade1697 How is it a bootleg?
@@josephm8292 its not professional to hand out scraps of paper with ink, especially at a conference
@@raygrenade1697 handing out scraps of paper defeats the purpose of the pocket stamp, If anything I'd stamp their paper and/or skin because I'd amend it to include a non-toxic superluminova ink.
How about temp tattoos that you can stick onto your body that are QR Codes or my personal favourite a small metal square with a QR laser etched into it and a mechanism inside to virbrate intermittently for a couple of hours after being given one.
wow prefect timing many thanks going to take a look for mine. Great job
Looks awesome.
Nice card! You're right about WeChat in China being so ubiquitous. In just a few years the entire business culture in so many industries shifted from presenting a physical card to offering your WeChat's QR code for them to scan.
the card just looks so nice at the end. Chinese people are really smart, too!
This video was as everything in this video very and pretty cool.
Heck yeah! I'm getting my own business cards!
