- Drop probabilities you control Set how often each rarity group appears so every pack has a fair, intentional mix.
- Crimped foil packs Cards are true-randomized, machine collated and sealed in custom foil wrappers, so you skip sealing equipment and hand packing.
- 1 to 29 cards per pack Packs start from one card, with a maximum of 21 to 29 cards depending on the stock thickness you choose.
- Your pack artwork Print your own wrapper and packaging artwork rather than shipping cards in a plain box.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sports Cards
Is there a minimum order quantity for custom sports cards?
No. QPMN products have no minimum order quantity. You can order one sample, submit a single direct order or scale to larger team, league and bulk orders.
What size and corner style are QPMN sports cards?
The sports cards featured on this page are 2.5 x 3.5 in, or 63.5 x 88.9 mm, with square corners. QPMN also offers separate rounded-corner 2.5 x 3.5 in card products and rounded-corner booster-pack cards.
Do QPMN sports cards fit standard top loaders and penny sleeves?
Yes. QPMN sports cards are produced at the standard 2.5 x 3.5 in trading-card size, which is the size that standard top loaders, penny sleeves and card savers are made for.
Can QPMN collate and seal sports card packs like a major card brand?
Yes. QPMN prints, true-randomizes, collates and seals cards in custom crimped foil booster packs with specific rarity ratios, such as commons, uncommons and holographic rares, with no minimum order requirement.
Can I create randomized sports card booster packs?
Yes. Booster-pack products let you organize athlete designs into rarity groups, set card quantities and configure drop probabilities. The exact settings available depend on the product and options you select in the live catalog.
How many cards fit in a QPMN sports card booster pack?
Custom sports card booster packs start from one card. The maximum ranges from 21 to 29 cards per pack, depending on the thickness of the card stock you select.
Can I create a different card for every athlete?
Yes. You can upload a different design for every athlete on a team, in a league, in a set or in a rarity group, while using coordinated card backs and packaging artwork across the release.
Which card stocks and hobby finishes are available?
QPMN has nine card stocks: Classic Smooth CS27, Premium Smooth PS30, Deluxe Smooth DS33, Regular Linen RL28, Gaming Linen GL29, Casino Linen CL31, Sturdy Layers SL35, Eco-friendly EF27 and Waterproof Plastic WP10. Product options can also include Fireball, Shard and Dot foils, holographic surfaces, cold foil and coloured edges.
Why does black-core card stock matter for sports cards?
A black core is a dark layer inside the card stock that blocks light passing through the card. It keeps the printed image opaque, gives the card a rigid feel and produces the dark edge that collectors associate with premium modern cards.
Can QPMN print die-cut windows or ultra-thick patch cards?
Yes. Die-cut window shapes and ultra-thick patch-style cards can be produced for custom sports card projects. Send the artwork and construction you have in mind through the quote form so the specification can be confirmed before production.
How do I order custom sports cards with QPMN?
Choose a sports card product in the catalog, select your options, upload your card fronts, card backs and packaging artwork, then order one sample, place a direct order or connect an online store for print-on-demand fulfillment.
How can I check custom sports card prices?
Select a sports card product in the QPMN sports cards catalog and choose your options. Click “Tiered Price Table” to compare bulk pricing by quantity. Product and shipping costs are shown for the selected specifications and destination.
Can I order a sports card sample?
Yes. Configure the sports card product you want, then use the sample-order option to add a sample with your chosen specifications to the cart before committing to a full run.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production timing and shipping costs are shown in the ordering flow for the product, options and destination you select. Configure your sports card product in the catalog and continue through the order to see the current timing.
How do print on demand sports cards work?
Create the sports card product and upload the artwork. When you place an order or receive one through a connected store, QPMN prints, packs and ships the selected product without you holding finished card inventory.
Can I sell custom sports cards through my online store?
Yes. Connect through Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Snapshop Lite or the QPMN API. Customer orders are sent to QPMN for printing, packing and delivery, so buyers stay on your own store.
Do I need finished artwork before I order?
You need print-ready card fronts, card backs and any packaging artwork required by the product you select. Free QPMN card size templates and the sports card design guide explain how to set up the files before ordering.
Can I use athlete photos and team logos on my cards?
Use athlete photos, team logos, names and other artwork only when you own them or have written permission to reproduce them. Licensing and name, image and likeness rights remain the responsibility of the person placing the order.
