Question

What specifications should I use for trading cards to ensure good print quality?

Answer

Setting up trading cards correctly keeps the final print crisp and professional. The standard size and bleed matter, and the stock you choose affects both feel and durability.

SpecRecommended setting
Trim size2.5" x 3.5"
Bleed0.125" on all sides
StockHeavier satin or silk cardstock
CornersRounded corners available as an option
  • Heavier satin or silk stock resists smudging and edge fraying
  • Keep key art and text inside the safe margin
  • Check the trading cards product page for exact stock and size choices
