FAQ

The most common questions, answered.

Custom trading cards are personalized cards printed with your own photos, artwork, logos, names, stats, or design elements. They work well for sports teams, gifts, creators, events, promotions, and collectible-style projects.

Yes. You can upload your own design or start with a template, depending on the trading card type you choose. That gives you a flexible path whether you already have finished artwork or need an easier starting point.

Yes. Custom trading cards are usually designed so you can personalize both sides. That makes room for photos, player info, stats, branding, game text, or any other details your project needs.

A trading card is usually made for collecting, showcasing a player, character, design, or stat line. A playing card is made for use in a deck, so the layout, card backs, and project goals are different.

Most custom trading cards use a standard trading card format, but the exact size can vary by product. Check the individual product page if you need a specific size before ordering.

A high-resolution PDF, PNG, or JPG is usually the easiest place to start. If a template is available, use it. It helps keep the artwork aligned and reduces setup mistakes.

No. In most cases, you just need artwork that extends past the trim area when your design runs to the edge. A template is the simplest way to set this up correctly.

Many custom trading card orders include a proofing step before production. If a proof is provided, review it carefully and make sure names, images, colors, and back-side details are correct before approval.

Available quantities depend on the product and ordering setup. Check the product page for current minimums, pricing breaks, and the best fit for your project size.

Yes, many custom trading card projects include more than one design. The best setup depends on how many unique cards you need and how your files are prepared.

Choose based on the look and use case you want. Sports trading cards are a strong fit for teams and player sets, while other card styles may make more sense for creator merch, character cards, promo sets, or game-style projects.

Custom trading cards are useful for team handouts, senior nights, party favors, creator merch, branded promos, fan art projects, and keepsake sets. They are especially good when you want something more personal than a standard photo print.

We target under 3 days for our production and printing time. Many orders are shipped within 1 business day.

If your artwork is not print-ready, it is better to catch that before production. Use a template when possible, and reach out before ordering if you are unsure about resolution, bleed, or file setup.

No. These are custom printed trading cards made from your own design or personalized project. They are not authenticated original collectibles. They are perfect for little league teams, organized sports, sports complexes etc.

Print Bleed and Safe Area Explained

Print Bleed

Print bleed refers to the extension of content beyond the actual dimensions of the print area to ensure a seamless edge. To accommodate print bleed, an additional 72 pixels are removed from each dimension (36 pixels from each side, based on a 300DPI image). This means that 36 pixels from each side of your uploaded images may be cut off. If your image is 900DPI, then the bleed area for each side increases to 108 pixels (3x36px). This industry-standard practice allows for edge-to-edge printing without inconsistent white gaps.

Safe Area

The Safe Area is delineated by a red dotted line and accounts for 36 pixels on each side for a 300DPI image. It’s crucial to keep text and other vital elements of your design, image, or photo within the Safe Area to avoid them being trimmed during production. Content outside the safe area might be cut off. Rest assured, everything inside the safe area will remain intact. Note that the red dotted line is only a guide for your reference and will not be printed.

Key Takeaway

Ensure that all essential elements you want printed are inside the red dotted lines. There’s a slight chance that anything between the yellow border and red dotted line may be trimmed during production.
