What’s the difference between painted edge cards and other cards?

Our painted edge cards have colour on the sides, top and bottom – all the “thin” dimensions that normally don’t have customizable colours.

Can I customize both sides of my painted edge cards?

Yes! We offer 2-sided printing for painted edge cards.

Which colours can I choose from?

You can pick from gold, silver, black, blue, teal, red, green and yellow.

How thick are painted edge cards?

These cards are 32pt (equal to .032 of an inch). To give you a frame of reference, each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch.

Can I have rounded corners or square-shaped painted edge cards?

No, those options aren’t available with these cards. The special way they’re made doesn’t allow for those custom shapes.

Can I write on my painted edge cards?

Yes! The matte laminate makes them easy to write on with any pencil, pen or marker.
