Standard trading card size (2.5×3.5") on 100LB Cover Linen, the same textured stock used for premium stationery and high-end business cards. The linen finish gives each card a subtle woven texture that reads as handcrafted and intentional. Four-color front only (4/0) or both sides (4/4), same price either way. Perfect for real estate agents who want their contact card to feel different from the plastic-laminated stack in every prospect's drawer. Boutique shops, fitness studios, and creative professionals who give out cards at events and want to be remembered. Coaches and consultants building a personal brand. Artists and musicians. The linen surface accepts pen and pencil without skipping, great for handwritten notes on the back. Orders from 100 to 25,000.

Frequently asked questions

What can I use trading cards for besides sports?

Plenty. Youth and travel sports teams are the classic use, but real estate agents print agent cards with their photo and listings, schools make staff cards, businesses turn their team into a fun lineup, and makers and artists sell collectible sets. Anything that benefits from a face and a short story fits a trading card.

Are they printed on both sides?

Yes, full color front and back. The front carries the photo and name; the back is perfect for stats, a bio, a roster, contact details, or a QR code to a highlight reel or website.

What size are trading cards?

The standard is 2.5″ × 3.5″, the same size as the sports and gaming cards people already collect, so they fit in sleeves, binders, and wallets. We can also print custom sizes if you want something that stands apart.

Which stock should I pick?

14pt and 18pt are sturdy and economical for teams and giveaways. Silk Laminate adds a smooth, durable finish for cards that get handled. Suede and Pearl feel premium, and Foil and AkuaFoil add shine that makes a limited run feel collectible.

What is the minimum order?

As few as 25 on most stocks, which makes trading cards practical for a single team or a small run. Most orders land between 100 and 500, where the per-card cost drops nicely.
