What Do You Put On a Comp Card?
Your comp card should be both visually appealing and at the same time, include essential information that potential employers can reference. Here are some ways you can use your cards to land your next gig.
Use a variety of images in your model card.
Typically, you should include 3 or 4 images in every comp card you print. Vary your images with different types of shots, such as headshots and full-body shots, as well as different styles of hair and make-up. These images should show your experience and range as a model or actor. Consider using a larger size comp card if you want to feature more photos.
List your measurements and your contact information.
Include typical measurements such as height, weight, chest, waist, and hip size. You may also include eye color, shoe size, and dress size. For contact information, add the best way employers can contact you immediately. Finally, if you have a portfolio website, you need to include that as well.
Consider using a coating for your comp card.
Add a little more pizzaz to your comp cards by using paper coatings. Gloss and high gloss UV add shine to your images and makes them pop. Matte coating is subtle and subdued which adds a luxurious style to your card. Choose any of these comp card printing options to stand out from the crowd.
