When is Quick & Short Run a good choice?Choose it for smaller decks, prototypes, limited editions, short promotional runs, classroom or team sets and projects where flexibility or faster production matters more than bulk-run economics.
Which Trading Card sizes are available?Choose 2.5" × 3.5" for the familiar trading-card proportion or 3.5" × 5" when the design needs more room for photography, statistics, instructions, scripture or larger typography. Both are available vertically or horizontally.
How should I choose a paper or cardstock?Coated stocks support strong color and smooth reproduction, uncoated and natural stocks provide a more tactile or writable surface, and C1S or C2S choices change whether one or both faces have a coated surface. Use Specifications for the exact stocks available with this product.
Can I add lamination or metallic foil?Yes, when the selected configuration supports it. Lamination adds surface protection and changes the tactile finish. Gold or silver foil adds reflective detail and requires the separate foil-mask setup shown in Specifications.
Do rounded corners require a different artwork file?Use the matching four-corner template for 1/8" or 1/4" rounded corners. Two-rounded-corner configurations do not use a separate template; the top-left and bottom-right corners are rounded during production, so critical artwork should remain safely inside the template safety area.
How do I prepare artwork for foil?Supply the normal print artwork plus a separate vector foil mask. Use solid 100% black for the elements that receive foil and avoid gradients, screens or unnecessarily fine details in the mask. Our team reviews the mask before production.
Can Trading Cards be shrink wrapped in counted sets?Yes. Available counted packs can be selected in the product configuration. Shrink wrapping is useful for event kits, resale packs, classroom or team distribution, multi-location shipments and inventory control.
How fast can Quick & Short Run Trading Cards be produced?Standard and rush production choices are shown in Specifications. The 12:00 PM ET cutoff applies to qualifying rush work, and production time begins after print-ready artwork and required order details are approved. Shipping or delivery time is additional.
