Custom Holo Foil Trading / collector Cards | Bespoke Quality cards.

Custom Trading Cards Printing
Custom trading cards are popular because they allow people to create something unique and personal, whether for tabletop games, sports, or fandom. Here’s why they’re worthwhile:

  1. Personalisation: Custom cards let you tailor the design to your specific interests, team, or brand, adding a personal or professional touch.
  2. Enhanced Engagement: For games or promotions, personalized cards can add excitement, engagement, and a unique visual identity.
  3. Memorabilia and Collectibility: Custom cards become memorable keepsakes that people enjoy collecting, trading, and displaying.

Why is Holo Foil Is Worth the Upgrade?
Holo foil is a premium option that adds a shiny, reflective layer, often with a prismatic or metallic effect. Here’s why it can be a game-changer:

  1. Visual Appeal: Holo foil cards have a captivating, high-quality look that draws attention. The reflective sheen makes colors and designs pop, giving a more premium feel.
  2. Enhanced Value and Rarity: Holo foil cards are often associated with rarity in trading card games and collections. This perception of scarcity can make the card feel more special and desirable.
  3. Durability: Many foil finishes add a protective layer, making the card more resistant to wear and tear, helping it stay in top condition longer.

In summary, upgrading to holo foil can significantly enhance the look and feel of custom cards, making them more visually appealing and collectible. For special cards, it's often worth it!

Collector cards such as basket ball cards, through to Pokémon. Creating a specialised card is made with the following process:

  1. The front of the card is finished with a chosen holographic foil (holo foil). This gives the card the specialised looking base.
  2. Then a white ink is placed over the holo foil. What does not have the white ink shows the holo foil. Then the full colour CMYK print covers all.
  3. The CMYK (full colour) print can cover both the white ink layer and the remaining background, so it gives great amount of design flexibility.
    The back of the card is printed on standard artboard (without the holographic foil).
  4. The card is then varnished (1 or 2 sides) in either mattte or gloss.
  5. Optional variable print (usually numbers) can be printed in BLACK ONLY.
  6. The card is trimmed with the 3mm rounded corner knife
  7. Optional Foil stamp (usually a seal or name ) can be stamped on to a qty of the cards.

As you can see, this is a very labor intensive product to make. Most factories have a MOQ of 10,000 pcs per design.

FAQs.

How thick are the ?

375 GSM equates to around 0.5mm in thickness. To put this into comparison, a standard credit card is 0.76mm thick.

What is GSM?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. Usually this relates to card thickness, however this comes down to the card stock density. For example, it is possible to have 450gsm card being thicker than a 600 GSM card. As there is some misconception regarding this, we use a micrometer on all of our products to be able to advise the thickness in millimeters.

What is Vector?

‘Vector’ artwork allows modifying of artwork without compromising it. It also allows scaling it without loss of quality.
Generally vector artwork is within .AI, .SVG, .EPS, .PDF files. You can tell if artwork is vector by zooming in 6,000%. If it pixelates, it is NOT in a vector / editable format.
If it 'redraws' or consists of the same quality, the artwork has been made in a vector fomat.
PNG or JPG are Bitmap files (made from pixels) and are NOT vector / editable.
Photoshop cannot create vector artwork, Illustrator can.

How will my artwork look when printed with print finishing (foil / emboss etc)?

The reason we have been in business so long is we have specialised in business cards with print finishing. We provide free consultation to go over your artwork to advise and give our recommendations. We advise of what works and what does not before you make a purchasing commitment.

What size options are available for Custom Holo Foil Playing Cards?

The standard size is 63 x 88mm with 3mm rounded corners. We can make the cards any size, however a custom quote is required.

Do you offer rounded corners?

Yes, this produc comes with a standard 3mm rounded corners

Can we add multiple print finishing such as Foil and Embossing ?

Yes. Please get in contact and we will happily advise of the options and provide quick pricing over the phone or via email. It is always best if you can provide sample artwork.

What’s the reason for so many artwork requirements?

Hands down, if you want quality, it starts with quality artwork. Many people do not consider how colour on screen translates to ink on paper. Rich Black is the perfect example. Using too much CMY with K can cause a muddy brown result. This is because there is simply too much ink going onto the card. The different card products we offer use different CMYK values to create the best rich black for the specific card.

Print finishing artwork need to be ‘vector’ / editable. This is because elements need to be modified to ensure a great result. In the instance of foil stamping or embossing, a metal block needs to me made. It is impossible to do this from pixel based artwork. Please do not send PNG or JPG files. These type of file formats are pixel based and not editable. Further details are provided in the ‘artwork’ tab.

How do I supply artwork?

When you submit your PDF, it should contain different pages for each process. For example, page 1 is the front print. The second page is the front finishing (in this case Spot UV). This page needs to use editable / vector artwork. The third page is a ‘sample’. It is not necessarily required but recommended to indicate how the combined Spot UV and front print look. This can also show misalignment of the different pages (if you copy paste correctly).The last page is the back print. More information about this process can be found in the ‘artwork’ tab
