Create a Promotion Customers Can Keep
Custom RIP Cards—also known as rack cards with tear-off business cards—help businesses communicate detailed information while providing recipients with a smaller piece they can retain. Use the main rack-card panel to introduce your business, explain services, promote an event, display a menu, or feature a limited-time offer.
The perforated lower section can function as a business card, discount coupon, appointment reminder, referral card, redemption voucher, or compact contact card. Customers can separate this section from the main card and keep the essential information without carrying the entire promotional piece.
Choose the printing configuration that best supports your design. Full color on both sides maximizes the available marketing space. A full-color front with a blank back provides a clean reverse side, while a full-color front with a grayscale back offers an economical way to include additional information.
Paper selection also influences the appearance and function of the finished card. Gloss stock produces a polished surface for colorful graphics, while uncoated stock provides a natural, writable finish. Matte cover reduces glare for comfortable reading, and Premium Linen adds a subtle texture for a more distinctive presentation.
