Rack Card Printing: The Perfect On-The-Go Advertising Tool

Rack cards are cost-effective tools that advertise your brand to people on the go. Place them strategically in locations with high foot traffic such as convenience stores, hotel lobbies, landmarks, and restaurants for potential customers to check out and keep. A well-designed rack card can give them a great impression about your business.

The handy 4” x 9” and 3.5” x 8.5” standard sizes of rack cards make it easier for people to hold and read. But, despite the small size, these promotional tools have enough space for a succinct summary of your products and services. Our custom rack cards are printed on thick and durable 16 pt. cardstock that is sure to endure long-term wear and tear.

How to Create Your Custom Rack Cards

Your rack cards must be able to grab the attention of your potential customers and compel them to respond to your call to action. How to pull it off? Here are a few easy steps that you can follow.

Step 1. Start with your design.
Make sure that your rack cards stand out. Create a design that will catch the eye of your target audience by using vibrant colors and high-quality images. Only the upper half of the rack cards is usually displayed, so placing the most important parts of your message at the top ensures visibility. Your rack cards should still be able to engage your potential customers even if the bottom half is hidden.

Step 2. Incorporate your branding.
You may be working with limited space, but there are several ways to incorporate your branding on your custom rack cards. Start with the color palette and then add your logo, slogan, or own artwork on your design. Pick the fonts that suit your brand and insert copy that can keep your audience reading.

Step 3. Create killer copy.
Use engaging copy in your rack cards. Create concise messaging that highlights the benefits and features of your products or services while providing vital information such as your company name and contact information. You may also include coupons, discounts, and other incentives on your rack cards.

Step 4. Make your call to action crystal clear.
Your potential customers should be able to know what to do next once they read your rack cards. The call to action must be clear whether you want them to drop by at your store, visit your website, subscribe to your newsletter, or participate in your promotion.
