Why Packaging Matters for Trading Cards
Trading card packaging is an extremely important part of trading card collecting, as it can mean the difference between a card that maintains (or increases) its money value and one that's damaged and has little to no value. Not only does high-quality trading card packaging protect the card inside, but it can enhance collectability and create a premium retail experience for collectors.
While many people default to baseball cards when they think about trading cards, there are actually several industries and use cases for trading cards, including collectible card games, sports cards, promotional cards, event giveaways, prototypes, and retail-ready packs. If you produce trading cards for any of these industries, CarePac's custom printed packaging for niche markets is the solution you're looking for.
Fin Seal Pouches for Trading Cards
Fin seal packaging is the gold standard packaging for trading cards, and it involves a raised, vertical seam at the back of the package. This forms a strong, tamper-resistant, and moisture-proof barrier along the sides for the cards inside. With CarePac's fin seal pouches, you can customize every square inch of your trading card packaging, including customizing the size, style, and color of the text on the pouch. Fin seal pouches are the same format used by major TCG brands, and it's the gold standard for a reason!
Whether you're looking for small run packaging or packaging for mass production, there is a lot of flexibility with fin seal pouches. By purchasing fin seal pouches from CarePac, there are extra advantages, including FDA compliant materials, durable seals, customization in CYMK or PMS colors, and the confidence that you're working with a tried-and-true packaging company.
Roll Stock Packaging Options
Another packaging option for trading cards is roll stock. Roll stock is a printed or unprinted flexible film that can be run through your own packaging machines. Since much of the control is in your hands, at least in terms of how and when the packaging is produced, this is a very cost-effective packaging option for high-volume production. Roll stock packaging is compatible with horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) equipment, and can be used with several material options, including metallic foil, matte film, or clear film if you want to show off branded inserts. If you're looking for scalability, efficiency, and a reduced per-unit cost, you can't go wrong with roll stock.
Customization & Add-On Options
Whether you opt for fin seal pouches, roll stock packaging, or some other type of trading card packaging, there are several customization and add-on options to consider:
As you can see, the sky is the limit when it comes to designing customizing your trading card packaging. From adding custom artwork on one side to incorporating a specific design or logo, no request is too difficult for the trading card packaging experts at CarePac.
