Frequently Asked Questions

Our custom trading cards feature professional-grade 350GSM cardstock with protective coating, industry-standard dimensions (63mm x 88mm), and design templates created by sports card industry professionals. Unlike basic photos or print-shop cards, we incorporate authentic trading card elements like statistics panels, team branding, professional photo editing, and specialty finishes including UV gloss or foil accents. The result is a collectible-quality card that matches commercial trading cards in look and feel, creating a truly special keepsake.

Action shots that clearly show the athlete’s face and uniform typically make the most dynamic trading cards. High-resolution images (at least 300dpi) with good lighting produce the best results. For optimal quality, we recommend using photos taken by sports photographers rather than screen captures or distant sideline shots. If your photos aren’t perfect, don’t worry—our design team provides complimentary enhancement services including background removal, color correction, and dynamic effects to optimize your images for trading card production.

Our minimum order is 25 cards, making our service accessible for individual athletes and small teams. We offer progressive volume discounts at 100+, 250+, 500+ and 1000+ cards to accommodate teams and leagues. Pricing varies based on quantity, finish options, and special features, with standard cards starting from $2.50 per card (minimum quantities apply). Team sets with multiple player designs are priced as a package based on the number of unique designs and total card quantity. For complete team sets, we offer special bundle pricing that includes digital proofs for each player design.

Our templates accommodate a wide range of content customised for different sports. Typical elements include player name, position, team name, jersey number, height/weight, year level, action photos, team logos, season statistics, career highlights, player quotes, and biographical information. For team cards, we can include team records, championship information, and coaching staff. All text elements are fully customisable to highlight the specific accomplishments and information most relevant to your sport and level of play.

Standard production time is 2-3 weeks from design approval, which includes professional design, printing, cutting, finishing, and preparation for shipping. For end-of-season events, presentation nights, or tournaments, we offer rush production options that can deliver in 7-10 business days (additional charges apply). Design time varies based on complexity, but typical turnaround for digital proofs is 3-5 business days from receiving your photos and information.

We create custom trading cards for virtually any sport or activity, not just mainstream sports. Our design team has developed templates for cricket, AFL, rugby, netball, basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, athletics, and many other sports popular in Australia. For less common sports or activities, we can adapt existing templates or create custom designs that highlight the unique aspects and terminology of your specific sport. We’ve even created custom cards for eSports teams, chess clubs, and academic competitions.

These include team display cases, individual hard plastic cases for featured players, themed team boxes, collector sleeves, and commemorative frames with card mounts. For special events or championship teams, we also offer limited-edition packaging with custom printing, foil stamping, or specialty materials. These presentation options make custom card sets perfect for end-of-season gifts, awards ceremonies, or fundraising initiatives.

Absolutely! Our cards are designed with autograph collection in mind. We use print finishes that accept permanent markers and sports pens without smudging or fading. For cards specifically intended for autographs, we can incorporate designated signing areas with slightly different finishes that enhance signature visibility. Many teams use our custom cards for signing sessions, fan interactions, and fundraising activities where autographed cards become valuable keepsakes.
