Rack Cards (Rack Cards)
Rack Cards — Full-Color Rack Card Printing | 3.5x8.5 & 4x9 | 16PT
Custom rack cards printed full-color on heavyweight 16PT cover stock with your choice of UV coating on both sides for a glossy finish, UV front only, or matte/dull coating for a soft professional look. Available in 3.5" x 8.5" and the standard 4" x 9" rack card size, in quantities from 100 to 25,000 with full-color front and back (4/4) or front only (4/0).
The 16PT stock is thick and rigid enough to stand upright in hotel, retail, and visitor center display racks without curling or sagging — the critical physical requirement for rack placement. Both sizes fit standard wire and acrylic rack card holders.
Why Rack Cards Work
- 16PT cover stock — thick, rigid card that stands upright in display racks without curling; significantly heavier than standard flyer stock
- Three coating options — UV both sides (glossy, scuff-resistant), UV front only (gloss front, writable back), or matte/dull for a soft professional finish
- Two standard sizes — 3.5" x 8.5" and 4" x 9" (the standard rack card size); both fit wire and acrylic display racks
- Full-color front and back (4/4) — vivid imagery and sharp text on both sides; 4/0 front-only also available
- Wide quantity range — 100 to 25,000 with aggressive per-piece pricing on larger runs; suited for single-location and regional distribution campaigns
- 2–4 business day turnaround — fast production for restocking display racks and meeting distribution deadlines

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a standard rack card?
The standard rack card size is 4" x 9", which fits most wire and acrylic display racks found in hotels, visitor centers, and retail locations. A 3.5" x 8.5" size is also available and fits the same racks with slightly less height.
What paper stock are rack cards printed on?
Rack cards are printed on 16PT cover stock — a thick, rigid card stock that stands upright in display racks without curling or sagging. Available with UV coating on both sides, UV front only, or a matte/dull finish.
Can rack cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Full-color front and back (4/4) is available for maximum use of the printable surface. Full-color front only (4/0) is also available for simpler designs or when the back will be left blank.

Rack cards are used for hotel lobby displays, visitor center tourism guides, medical office waiting rooms, restaurant takeaway menus, retail promotions, and any setting where printed material needs to stand upright in a standard display rack for self-service pickup.

Rack cards start at 100 and scale to 25,000, with lower per-piece pricing on larger runs. Production turnaround is 2–4 business days before the order ships.
