Why Do I Need a Printing Template?

You don't have to use a print product template, but most clients find the trading card templates extremely useful. For starters, the templates are set to CMYK color mode for you, so you don't have to worry about changing things before you upload your artwork. Our templates are already sized correctly and give you clear instructions about the bleed area, trim line, and safe zone. We also show you how to measure for borders in case you want to incorporate these into your design.

I Don't Have a Designer. Can I Still Use a Template?
The short answer to this question is yes. As long as you have a graphics software program to work with, you can create your own design with an online trading card template. That said, we strongly recommend working with a professional graphic designer for several reasons. Print design is different than web design, and a pro will already understand technical concepts, such as font choice, font size, and color contrast. If you don't have a solid grasp of what works in ink, you might not be happy with the final result. We do offer custom trading card design services for affordable rates, so feel free to put in a free quote request for our art department.

Do You Have Any Premade Trading Card Designs?

We have a library of business card designs, but trading cards are completely custom. Most of our clients want to make their card games, so there's no real trading card template for that kind of project. If you have an idea for a helpful template, we're all ears! We welcome your suggestions, and we do our best to honor customer requests.
