Collectors Card Printing

Custom collector cards are a wonderful way to express your creativity and enhance your company image. Use collector cards during a business presentation to highlight the main points and invite attendees to collect them all. Use them to promote events, sales or new openings. Give them away at trade shows and conferences. They’re also a wonderful fundraising tool. Offer a card with every donation, and include key points about your organization on every card. We print them on high-quality stock in your choice of sizes.

You can also create collector cards for home use. Make baseball-style cards that feature your favorite relatives, pets and friends. Create wonderful mementoes you can give away at family reunions or anniversaries. Everyone will enjoy them. We offer corner rounding, lamination and UV gloss coating to help your collector cards last.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
