Additional Customization Options for Your Rack Cards
Add functional features and flexible options to make your rack cards work even harder for your business.
Perforation for Tear-Off Sections
Include a perforated section at the bottom of your rack card for easy tear-off. Use it as a coupon, business card, raffle ticket, or appointment reminder that customers can detach and take with them.
Front and Back Printing
Choose to print on one side for a simple, focused message or both sides to maximize space to share images, details, or contact information.
Writable Surfaces
For writing flexibility, choose Gloss Front with Uncoated Back if you're using 14 pt. cardstock. This gives you a shiny, eye-catching front and a writable back. If you need both sides to be writable, go with the fully Uncoated option, available in both 14 pt. and 17 pt. paper types.
Flexible Order Quantities
Order just what you need with quantities starting at 25 and going all the way up to 100,000. Perfect for both short runs and large-scale promotions.

Customer Questions
If you select a perforation, we will place it exactly in the area you need. You may indicate this with a broken line on your artwork. Being a perforation, it will come off with minimal effort but will show the regular jagged edge once they are torn off.
Yes, we may do die cut for custom shapes. However, these need to be processed by our Custom Team.

Then give us a call at 888.888.4211 to speak with a Custom Representative, who will convert the item in your cart to a quote for the custom shape.
We do have a Design Team that can do this for you. The base price for a design of a rack card is $35. However, this could increase depending on the complexity of the job. If you are interested, please create an account online and give us a call to speak to a Design Representative so he could provide you details of the design service and what you need to submit.
Unfortunately, our pricing is based on one design per quantity. The moment you have a different design on the back it would mean a new set up cost and we can only get cost efficiency over a printing run if the artwork (front and back) are the same.
We require a 1/8" bleed which you should extend outside the trim line.
