Three Archival Card Options for Artists

  • Gloss Card (110# Cover) – The most popular choice for rack cards, this satin-gloss card stock provides a light sheen and bright colors. 
  • Matte Card (100# Cover) – Our premium matte card is an elegant and uncoated alternative to a gloss card. Easy to write on.
  • Textured Felt Card (100# Cover) – This distinctive material gives artists and marketers an alternative textured choice. 

Two 16pt Durable Card Options for Marketing

For marketing and advertising purposes, we highly recommend one of the below 16pt card options. 

  • 16PT Gloss Card (UV Coated) - Prepare to hand out or mail these heavy super glossy cards. The UV coating provides an extra layer of durability.
  • 16PT Matte/Dull Card - Durable like the gloss card, this uncoated card material is often preferable for a more elegant appearance. They are also better for writing on.

Fast Turnaround Times (in Business Days)

Select one day or two days as your preferred turnaround option. The turnaround begins once our graphics staff has received the proper art files. Improper art setup, trim problems, and digital proofs can lead to expanded turnaround time.

The first turnaround day begins the next business day after the placed order. Once your 4x9 artwork is set up for production, we will email an estimated ship date.

Digital Proofs Are Useful

If there are concerns about bleed or trim area, resolution, and size, we will contact you. Sometimes our graphic artists will email a PDF proof demonstrating the issue (generally within 4 to 6 business hours). Otherwise, the artwork will move straight to production. Our staff members double-check and observe all artwork before printing to ensure 100% satisfaction. If you prefer this digital sample before printing begins, please let us know in the above order form ($5).

Digital proofs may add one extra day to turnaround.

Read These Art Specs For 4x9 Rack Card Printing To Enhance Quality

If the following guidelines seem Latin to you, try not to allow that to frighten you from ordering 4x9 rack cards. Our experts analyze all artwork before printing begins. If we can't resolve any problems we encounter, one of our team members will contact you.

  • First, make sure to set your art file with 4.25" x 9.25" dimensions. Stay focused on keeping valuable content at least 0.25 inches away from the edges. The pixel count for your rack card should be at least 1275 x 2775.
  • Secondly, while starting a new design, make sure you are working in a 300dpi setting. Many graphics applications default to 72dpi (Adobe Photoshop) or 132dpi (Procreate). Raising the quality setting to 300dpi or higher before you begin working is vital.
  • We support PDF or JPG file formats. However, our internal artists will accept other file types such as PNG and TIF.
  • Try composing your design in CMYK color mode. For 4.25" x 9.25" rack cards, we will convert files to CMYK before production begins. Many professionals unintentionally work in RGB, a color mode intended for digital media. The conversion process can lead to softened or significant color shifts.

Try Using a 4x9 Template

To help with preparing a 4" x 9" rack card for printing, we offer the below PDF template to place your art. Please note that the art file is 4.25" x 9.25" at 300dpi.

4x9 Rack Card FAQ

What dimensions are standard rack cards?

The two most popular rack card sizes are 4" x 9" and 3.5" x 8.5" - both available in our rack card collection.

What card stock options can we pick?

We offer many card choices for 4x9 rack card printing, including archival gloss, matte, and textured for artists. For marketing purposes, we also carry sturdier 16pt and 18pt options.

What is the difference between gloss, matte and textured?

Glossy paper will be shiny and richer. The matte is smoother and uncoated, while the textured paper is grainy and soft to emulate watercolor paper. All three forms of media do affect colors in unique ways.

Can I upload my design?

Yes! You can upload your rack card design. If you would like to see a visualization before printing occurs, be sure to select a PDF proof.

Can I reorder rack cards I've previously printed?

Sure! You can provide a past order number in the instructions area. As long as that order belongs to you, we will print it again. Better yet, you won't need to upload your artwork again.

  • Talk to your primary audience. How does your business's product or service improve the life of your customers? Make sure to address or solve a problem.
  • Use inspirational imagery. Relevant photos and imagery will help convey the benefits of your product or service. Try using high-resolution images to ensure your art is crisp and engaging.
