Frequently Asked QuestionsQuick & Short Run Rack Cards FAQ
Quick & Short Run Rack Cards are designed for brochure racks, counters, reception areas, tourism displays, hospitality information, menus, service lists, maps, promotions, event details and other take-away communication. The questions below focus on the product decisions that most often affect finished Rack Cards: choosing among 3.5"x8.5", 3.667"x8.5", 4"x9", selecting the correct vertical or horizontal template, understanding the paper or specialty stock, planning printing and finishing, preparing artwork, and allowing the appropriate production time. Only options supported by the product estimator are described. When specialty effects such as Variable Data, lamination and metallic foil apply, prepare the required setup file before approval so the effect lands exactly where intended. Keep important text, logos, QR codes and contact information inside the safety area, extend backgrounds through bleed, and use the matching corner template whenever rounded corners are selected. Production turnaround begins after usable artwork, payment and required approvals are complete; shipping or delivery time is additional.

Size & Ordering
Which Rack Card size should I choose?
Choose among 3.5"x8.5", 3.667"x8.5", 4"x9" based on the brochure holder, countertop space and amount of information. Confirm the holder dimensions before ordering.
Can Rack Cards be horizontal or vertical?
Yes. Both orientations are supported for the sizes shown on this page. Use the matching template so bleed, trim and corner geometry remain correct.
Paper & Finishing
How should I choose the stock?
Choose by appearance, durability, writeability and the way the Rack Card will be handled. The Specifications section describes the customer benefit of each applicable stock or finish.
Are rounded corners available?
Yes where shown in Specifications. Choose square corners, four 1/8-inch rounded corners or four 1/4-inch rounded corners; two-corner templates are intentionally excluded.
Artwork & Templates
Which template should I use?
Use the template matching the exact finished size, orientation and corner style. Extend backgrounds through bleed and keep critical content inside the safety margin.
Can I provide artwork later?
Yes. Choose Provide Artwork Separately, or Request Design Assistance when the file needs design, cleanup, resizing or prepress preparation.
Production
How fast can Rack Cards be produced?
Use the Turnaround choices shown in Specifications. Eligibility depends on the complete configuration and artwork readiness; rush cutoffs apply where indicated.
Does turnaround include shipping?
