Printing Action Figure Card Backs

  • Perfect for printing custom Star Wars card backs to bold novelty gift backs.
  • Over 40 hand-picked paper types to choose from, your GI Joe card backs will be uniquely yours.
  • Supply your own artwork via email or have our in-house design team work to create your perfect action figure card backs.

Whether you’re restoring and selling a carded vintage Admiral Ackbar figure or making novelty customised action-inspired portraits, our colour-pop, stylised card backs are a real winner when it comes to drawing the eye.

At Aura Print, we use the best-coloured inks for intense, vibrant, high-contrast print, matching the timeless, classic style you’d expect from a Kenner custom vintage Star Wars card back.

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.
