Veteran-owned. Family-built. North Texas proud.
PrideMark Card Company started in our family kitchen—equal parts coffee, grit, and late-night planning. When the local Michelin plant closed, it didn’t just end a chapter—it reshaped our family’s future. We could move, start over somewhere else, or build something of our own right here at home. We chose to build.
From Service to Steel
I served active duty in the U.S. Army and later in the Air Force National Guard. The uniform taught me discipline, precision, and the importance of doing the job right—every time. That mindset never left. After Michelin shuttered, those same values pushed us to create work that felt honest and durable. Work we could be proud of.
A Family Decision
We’re a family that believes in fixing things, not folding. Instead of chasing the next paycheck in a new city, we stayed to create something local: a small shop where every detail matters and every order is handled like it has our name on it—because it does.
- We invested our savings in equipment, training, and prototyping.
- We turned a spare room into a production space, then outgrew it.
- We tested finishes, calibrated engravings, and built packaging that feels like a gift, not an afterthought.
Why Metal Cards?
Because plastic never felt like us. Plastic bends. It fades. It gets tossed.
Metal tells a different story—weight, presence, and craftsmanship. A PrideMark card is meant to be kept, gifted, and remembered.
How We Build (and Why It’s Slow on Purpose)
- Prep: We start with premium metal blanks and prep each surface by hand.
- Engrave: Our settings are dialed for contrast and readability—tested, logged, repeatable.
- Inspect: Every card passes a three-point check for alignment, depth, and finish.
- Finish & Pack: Cleaned, sleeved, and boxed so the unboxing feels as good as the card.
What “PrideMark” Means
It’s a promise. A mark made with pride—for families, veterans, small businesses, and anyone who wants something better than disposable. When you hold one of our cards, you’re holding our standards.
The Road Ahead
On December 15, 2025, we open our doors. We’ll launch with core finishes—Matte Black, Gold, and Silver—and offer custom engraving for names, logos, and personal marks. Whether it’s a gift, a keepsake, or your daily carry, we’ll make sure it feels like it belongs to you.
Thank you for supporting a veteran-owned, family-built shop that chose to stay and build in North Texas. If you’ve ever held a tool a little longer to make the fit just right, you already understand who we are.
