Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Trading Cards
What are custom trading cards?
Custom trading cards are collectible or game cards printed with your own artwork, branding, characters, statistics or rules. They can be produced as individual cards, complete sets or packaged booster products.
Is there a minimum order quantity for custom trading cards?
No. QPMN products have no minimum order quantity. You can order one sample, fulfill one customer order or place larger direct and bulk orders.
How do print on demand trading cards work?
You create the product and upload the artwork. When you place an order or receive an order through a connected store, QPMN prints, packs and ships the selected trading card product without requiring pre-printed inventory.
Can every trading card use different artwork?
Yes. You can upload multiple designs for a set or rarity group and use coordinated card backs. The available setup depends on the selected trading card product and workflow.
Which premium options can I choose?
QPMN’s range includes 10 material options, eight foil effects, seven edge colors and matte, gloss or Glass Layer finishes. Not every combination is available on every product. ES40 400gsm is for selected booster-pack cards; Glass Layer Effect uses SL35 cardstock.
What size are QPMN trading cards?
QPMN offers trading card products in 2.48 × 3.46 inches and 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Round-corner products are available in both sizes, while the square-corner products shown here are 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Choose a product to check its card count, cardstock, finish and packaging options.

Can QPMN ship trading card orders to customers?
