Thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment, your collectors cards will be printed with rich, vibrant inks that will make your images and text look incredible. We even offer multiple premium paper stocks for you to choose from.

If you have an existing trading card design that you'd like printed, no problem. Simply select your card preferences, upload your file and place your order.

Whether you are printing collectors cards for a college football team, professional baseball team, TV show, video game, or to promote your fiction novel series, trading cards are a compelling marketing tool that allows your most ardent fans to display their love and admiration for your brand.

If you need collectors cards for your sports team, club/organization, or business, you've come to the right place. We offer three methods for ordering and printing your trading cards. If you have already designed your cards, simply upload your print-ready files and place your order. If you need a new trading card design, you can use one of the many free templates we offer in our Online Designer tool. Each template can be personalized with personal photos, your organization name, and any other text you wish to include.

If you would like to work with a professional graphic designer to create your collectors cards, our in-house team can handle the design process from start to finish. Simply add one of our reasonably-priced design packages to your order, provide us with the relevant images and text, and we'll take care of the rest.

Our collectors cards are 2.5" x 3.5" (slightly larger than a standard U.S. business card). Choose the standard vertical orientation or be different with a horizontal trading card. You can also add rounded corners for softer edges.

Our 2.5" x 3.5" collectors cards printed on 14 pt. glossy cover stock start at just $17.41 for 100 double-sided, full-color cards. We also offer additional options, such as rounded corners and luxurious paper stocks, all at budget-friendly prices.

Of course! You can upload your trading card design in any of the following file formats: TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, and PDF. Design files should be in CMYK mode with a minimum resolution of 350 dpi. Our maximum file upload size is 75 megabytes.

If you are designing your own trading cards for print, start with one of our downloadable templates. Make sure to keep all essential elements (photos and text) within the safe zone of the template, so they are not cut off. The trim line shows where the final product will be cut, and the bleed refers to the part that will be trimmed off. If you are using a background image, make sure to extend it all the way to the bleed line. We require a 0.1" bleed on collectors card files.

Our 14 pt. gloss cover stock is one of our most popular options for collectors cards. This glossy paper has an additional layer of High Gloss UV Coating on the surface for a beautiful shine. If you are would like your trading cards to have a more vintage look and feel, we recommend printing them on either our 14 pt. uncoated paper or our 16 pt. premium matte cover stock. You can also print your collectors cards on any one of our ultra-thick triple-layered Trifecta papers for a luxurious product that is sure to impress!

All of our paper stocks are premium, so no matter which one you choose for your collectors cards, we're confident you'll be happy with the final product.
