3, 2, 1, Action! Retro Action Figure Card Backs in Timelessly Modern Print
We know what it takes to make high-end replica style card backs and, from design through to print; we’re here to help you turn back the clock.
Starting with the design, you’ll either have a perfectly accurate 1970s/80s artwork print-ready and waiting to hit the press or you’ll be needing a designer with a bit of know-how to do the work for you. If you’re pre-designed and good to go, we’ll just need to work out your printing and finishing specifics to ensure you get a card back that looks as though it was released at the same time as Episode IV (albeit in excellent condition, of course!).
If you don't have a design ready and waiting, we’ll work with you to make sure your packaging is stylish and era-specific, paying meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of the design process.
Vintage Printing for the Future of Fandom
Together with our experienced print and finishing team, our designers will work tirelessly to make sure your finished product looks perfect, whether it uses your design or theirs.
We offer over 40 unique paper types which, together with finishing elements such as round-cornering and Euroslot hanging holes, your retro-style action figure card backs will have that timeless sheen that collectors love to see.
Pro tip: Depending on the weight of the action figure/novelty item that the card is intended to hold, we recommend ‘doubling-up’ for weighty items such as action figures. Double-thick options are available across all of our paper stocks and will provide you with more than the minimum weight of 600gsm, commonly recommended for action figure backing cards.
