Premium Collector Cards for Creative and Branded Releases
Custom Ultra Premium Collectors Cards combine a familiar card format with specialty paper choices that influence how the finished artwork looks and feels. The 2.5" × 3.5" dimensions provide space for illustrations, photography, characters, logos, edition numbers, authenticity details, product information, signatures, or supporting text.
The four available stocks give creators and brands meaningful design flexibility. Linen adds a woven texture that works well with refined or traditional artwork. Kraft provides a natural brown base for rustic and vintage-inspired concepts. Pearl introduces a subtle reflective quality for celebratory or luxury presentations. Smooth White provides a clean surface suited to detailed illustrations, photography, and vibrant color.
Choose full-color printing on the front with a blank back for artwork-focused cards or select full color on both sides to include biographies, character statistics, product information, redemption instructions, authenticity details, or brand messaging. Optional rounded corners can provide a finished look while softening the card’s edges.
Available in quantities from 25 to 1,000, these custom collector cards can support exclusive small-batch releases as well as broader promotional and retail programs.
Ultra Premium Paper Stock Options
13 pt. Ultra Premium Linen
Ultra Premium Linen features a woven cross-hatch texture that adds depth and tactile character. It is an appropriate choice for classic artwork, commemorative cards, heritage-inspired branding, and elegant collector editions.
18 pt. Kraft
Kraft is a heavyweight, natural-brown stock with a rustic appearance. Its surface complements vintage, organic, minimal, and high-contrast designs.
Because white ink is not included by default, the natural brown paper influences printed colors. Light shades may appear darker or more subdued than they would on white cardstock. Designs should be prepared with the stock color in mind.
18 pt. Ultra Premium Pearl
Ultra Premium Pearl features a subtle pearlescent shimmer that reflects light. It is well suited to premium artist editions, commemorative cards, luxury branding, celebratory releases, and designs that benefit from a refined luminous effect.
18 pt. Ultra Premium Smooth White
Ultra Premium Smooth White is a heavyweight white cardstock with a clean, even surface. The bright base supports crisp details and vibrant color, making it suitable for illustrated cards, photographic designs, custom gaming cards, and branded collectibles.

-
Standard Corners: Maintains a traditional straight-edged card profile.
-
Rounded Corners: Creates a softer, polished appearance when selected.
