  • How long does FYIber kill bacteria?
    Dupont Silvadur is the #1 Antimicrobial textile treatment in the world since 1970. It's effective against over 650 pathogenic bacteria, fungi, yeasts and mold/mildews. Silvadur can be washed 50 times, with less than a 1% reduction in effectiveness. We submitted FYIber for our own independent test, and attached is our report after washing FYIber 40 times: Salmonella reduction 99.9% after 40 washes
  • Does washing also kill the bacteria?
    FYIber needs to be washed in plain water or even with a drop of detergent to remove dirt, oils and cosmetics. The Dupont Silvadur Antimicrobial treatment will safely eliminate any bacteria embedded in FYIber, without washing, in 24 hours.
  • Can you print on the back?
    We only offer color background printing, with no text or logo's. Cost for back printing is 10 cents per card.
  • Is the print permanent and waterproof?
    YES! We use a similar heat sublimation printing that's done on clothing.
  • You mentioned the colors are not as vibrant and text must be slightly larger than my paper card. Why?
    Two reasons: first heat sublimation printing turns ink into gas so it permeates into the microfiber. It's permanent, but not as vibrant, and may not match PMS. Second, FYIber is "UNBOUND" microfiber; meaning the fibers move to better for better wiping pick up. This fiber movement may make smaller print appear fuzzy. For a better understanding on what to expect from FYIber, see the attached "Designing FYIber"
  • Why is FYIber good for direct mail?
    COST. Fyiber weighs around a gram, and many direct mail templates have a cut out for business cards. FYIber fits nicely with direct mail and won't add postage cost.
  • Why did you say FYIber is great for Trade Shows and Conferences?
    People will be given hundreds of business cards at these events. That's too many to take home, so most people will only keep the cards that they will use in the near future. FYIber will be the only Promotional Product Business Card, meaning people will have 2 reasons to keep your card: to contact you and clean their phones, glasses and touchscreens. Also, when you work a booth, we all know when someone asks for your card, that signals that they are leaving your booth. FYIber combats that with the sense of touch: no one has ever felt a business card this soft. We guarantee that anyone you give FYIber to will RE-ENEGAGE conversation with you by asking "What's this?"
  • Does the antibacterial treatment damage phone or touchscreens?
    NO. FYIber is safe for anything it touches, because it doesn't kill bacteria on surface contact. FYIber "LIFTS" oils that contain bacteria off the phone. Then the antimicrobial treatment in FYIber activates and eliminates 99%+ of the bacteria it contacts within the fibers in 24 hours. Without any washing, FYIber will be 99% bacteria free the next day you use it.
  • Can we write notes on the card?
    YES! But regular ink will run the first time it's rinsed in water, and eventually wash out: it looks terrible. We strongly recommend that you write on FYIber with the FYIber Pen. It's a pigment pen, that dries quickly and is completely washable. It's the only 0.7mm point pen that we tested, that didn't wash out over time.
  • Do you make GENERIC CARDS where people can write their contact info?
    Yes. We can design the card with a blank area, and you can use the FYIber Permanent Pigment Pen to write contact information.
  • Can you print QR's?
    Yes, and we can create the QR code for you, that include a logo in the center. Note that "@" are extremely powerful. For example, @fyibercards will bring up on website, youtube, instagram and facebook simultaneously.
  • Since FYIber is different than paper, what are the design parameters?
