What sets NAJEM apart from Dot Cards
True metallic — steel & titanium
NAJEM's Stars and Cosmos cards are precision-made in stainless steel and titanium. The weight, the finish, the feel — these are cards people comment on. Dot's materials don't reach this level.

Dot Cards creates a contact-style profile. NAJEM creates a full portfolio website at najem.ch/en/yourname — your work, your story, your brand — indexable by Google.
Swiss-native · nLPD compliant
Dot Cards is a US company. For Swiss professionals, having your professional identity on a GDPR and nLPD-compliant Swiss platform is not a nice-to-have — it's a requirement.
No subscription — ever
Dot Cards charges monthly for advanced features. NAJEM Stars and Cosmos are one-time purchases. Your card works forever, your portfolio is yours forever.
