Custom Rack Cards Printing & Display Marketing: PrintStar Now

Your marketing material is more than just a flyer; it is your silent salesperson in the lobby. At PrintStar Now, we specialize in premium rack cards that professionals trust to get picked up. We understand that a flimsy card gets overlooked in a crowded display, but a high-quality, rigid card demands attention. Whether you are looking for affordable standard cards for a hotel brochure stand or dazzling Akuafoil cards for a VIP event menu, we offer the widest variety of specs in the industry.

The Right Card for Your Display (Use Cases)

We don’t believe in "one size fits all." We have categorized our products to help you find the perfect match for your specific industry:

• For Tourism & Hospitality: Capture the traveler's attention. Our 4 x 9 Standard Rack Cards are the industry standard size, designed to fit perfectly in hotel lobby kiosks and visitor centers. Use vibrant Gloss UV coating to make your attraction or tour photos shine.
• For Real Estate & Mailers: Provide a sleek takeaway. The slimmer 3.5 x 8.5 Standard Rack Cards offer a profile similar to a #10 envelope. They are easy to hold and perfect for summarizing property specs or price lists that potential buyers won't lose.
• For High-End Events & Nightlife: Show, don’t just tell. Use Akuafoil Rack Cards to add sparkling metallic gradients to your logo or headers. This finish catches the light in dimly lit venues, making it perfect for VIP drink menus or exclusive event invitations.
• For Spas & Service Menus: Present your services clearly.Rack cards make excellent service menus. Choose a Matte Finish on our standard cards for an elegant, readable look that lists your packages, hours, and contact info without the glare.

The finish changes how the card feels in your hand and how it stands in the rack.

• Standard Sizes:

• 4" x 9": The classic rack card size. Fits standard brochure holders without bending.
• 3.5" x 8.5": A slightly narrower option, often used for inserts or hand-outs.

• Metallic Effects:

• Akuafoil: A unique process that lets you add shiny metallic colors to any part of your design—not just gold or silver, but a full spectrum of metallic hues (blue, red, green, etc.).

• Rigid Cardstocks (14pt & 16pt):

• We print on thick stocks to ensure your rack cards stand upright and don't "flop" over in the display holder.

• Coatings:

• UV Gloss: High-impact shine that protects against scuffs.
• Matte/Dull: A sophisticated, non-reflective finish that suggests luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the standard size for a rack card?
A: The most common industry standard is 4" x 9". This size is designed specifically to fit into the standard brochure holders found in hotels, rest stops, and chambers of commerce.

Q: What is Akuafoil?
A: Akuafoil is a special technique where we apply a silver foil layer under the ink. This creates a shimmering, metallic effect on specific parts of your design, allowing you to have "metallic blue," "metallic red," or any other metallic color you desire.

Q: Will these cards stand up straight in a rack?
A: Yes. We use high-quality 14pt or 16pt cardstock. This thickness ensures the card is rigid enough to stand upright in a display holder without flopping over or curling forward.

Q: Can I write on these rack cards?
A: It depends on the finish. If you need to write prices or dates on the card, we recommend choosing a Matte or Uncoated finish. High Gloss UV coatings are difficult to write on as the ink tends to smudge.

Q: What rack card sizes are available?
We offer many sizes for rack cards. Use our pricing calculator to choose from a wide selection that suits your needs.
