I was a little concerned about having my printing... I was a little concerned about having my printing done in the U.K. but Aura Print did a great job. The communication was good. The quality of their printing was much better than a popular American company I have been using. The product shipped and arrived quickly and was carefully packed. I recommend them.

What is a backing card and what are backing cards used for?
Custom printed backing cards are small pieces of card for product promotion and protection. You attach your goods to the card for visual presentation and they are usually used for small items such as badges and jewelry.
The space is a perfect backdrop for promoting your goods as well as brand promotion or product information.
They also serve a purpose too. Because your items are attached to the backing card, there is less chance of the goods being damaged during delivery to your clients.
Do you offer foil printed backing cards?
Yes we do. We offer metallic foil backing card printing with a choice of over 10 different foil colors.
