Custom Flash Card Boxes

Packaging matters—especially for products meant to be reused, gifted, or sold. We offer a wide range of packaging styles to match your flash card set’s purpose and personality. Choose based on card count, intended use, and audience.

Tuck end box

Lightweight and cost-effective. Flaps fold into each end—great for small decks and simple retail display.

Telescope rigid box

A two-piece box with separate lid and base. Rigid, sturdy, and ideal for mid-range sets with a focus on presentation.

Magnetic closure rigid box

A premium option with a magnetic flap that keeps the box securely shut. Great for high-end educational kits or retail products.

Shoulder Neck Rigid Box

Offers an elevated unboxing experience. Features an interior tray (shoulder) that adds depth and structure.

Shrink-wrapped decks

Clean, transparent wrapping that protects the cards during shipping and offers a simple retail-ready solution.

Booster Packs

We also offer sealed packs with randomized or sequential card sets, ideal for gamified educational products or collector sets.

Need accessories? We can include sticker sheets, card rings, elastic bands, or printed booklets—tailored to your flash card goals.

Paper Options

Single Sheet Cardstock Flash Cards

For standard student flash cards, 300gsm or 350gsm premium cardstock works well. The coated paper helps maintain consistent print quality on both sides and provides enough thickness to withstand regular handling.

Single Sheet C1S Paper Flash Cards

If you need flash cards with images on one side and another side for writing, 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper is ideal. One coated side enhances print clarity, while the uncoated side better absorbs ink, making it easier to write on.

Mounted Double-Layer C1S Paper Flash Cards

By mounting two layers of 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper, you get extra rigidity that prevents bending over time—even when kids use them repeatedly. Each flash card’s thickness is around 0.8mm – 1mm. These cards typically feature rounded corners for added safety and longer-lasting durability.

Mounted Triple-Layer C1S Paper Flash Cards

For maximum strength, triple-layer 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper mounted is the best option. Each flash card’s thickness is around 1.2mm – 1.5mm. The additional layers make the cards sturdy enough for active play and frequent handling, especially by younger children. Rounded corners provide an extra measure of safety.

Surface Finishes for Flash Cards

Flash cards are used repeatedly and often handled by young learners or trainees. To make sure they stay in good condition, we recommend protective finishes on both sides. We also round off the corners as standard. If you’d like to add a punched hole for storage rings, just let us know—we’re happy to include this feature.

Matte varnish both sides

A non-glossy coating on both sides that offers a textured feel.

Varnish both sides

A glossy coating on both sides with a subtle texture.

Matte lamination both sides

A smooth, velvety matte film applied to both sides, offering durable, non-reflective finish.

Gloss lamination both sides

A shiny film applied to both sides, giving the card a sleek, high-gloss appearance.

Spot UV

A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.

Gold Foil Stamping

Metallic gold foil pressed onto the card for an elegant, eye-catching detail.

Silver Foil Stamping

Metallic silver foil applied to the card, adding a sleek, reflective accent.

Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Metallic foil applied to the edges of the card, creating a premium and polished look from every angle.

Holographic Paper Printing

Printed on holographic paper, which reflects rainbow-like colors when viewed from different angles.

2.50" x 3.50"

It’s important that you prepare your files correctly to make sure that your cards come out looking great. Here, we share a few important tips.

Export your files in PDF format for printing

Make sure that you change the color space from RGB to CMYK before you export

If you’re exporting bitmaps from Photoshop, for example — then make sure that you set the image resolution to 300 dpi

If you have a design with colors or images which extend all the way to the edge of the finished sticker, remember to add a 3 mm “bleed zone” to allow for die-cutting

If you’re working with a professional designer to create your files, they should understand what’s needed to make everything “print ready”. But if you’re working with design software yourself for the first time, these are the vital tips to remember before you submit your files. Still, our team of experts will always manually check all your files before we go to press. If we find any issues, we’ll let you know and help you resolve them.
We accept high-resolution PDF files with a minimum of 300 DPI in CMYK color mode and 3-mm bleed. Be sure to include bleed and crop marks for accurate printing.
Yes, absolutely! We offer full double-sided printing in vibrant colors and premium finishes, allowing you to maximize space for your designs or content. Choose a uniform backside design or multiple backside designs for even more creative flexibility.
Yes, we ship worldwide, including to the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia. We offer various shipping options, including combined sea and air freight, to suit your budget and timeline.
