Custom Sports Trading Cards for Australian Clubs

Player cards for footy, netball, cricket, soccer and surf clubs — in runs small enough for a single team, delivered in 7–14 working days.

Every club has the same photos sitting in a folder somewhere: action shots from the season, team photos, a kid holding a trophy. Player cards turn those into something families actually keep.

We print them in quantities that suit a club rather than a corporation. One team, one age group, or the whole association.

What clubs use them for

• Presentation nights. A card for every player instead of another certificate that goes in the bin.
• Fundraising. Sell packs at the canteen or the gate. Short runs mean you aren't carrying stock you can't shift.
• End-of-season gifts. Cheaper per player than trophies, and the kids swap them.
• Sponsor recognition. Put the sponsor's logo on the card back — it's in a hundred households rather than on a fence nobody reads.
• Academy and rep squads. Player profiles for trials, tours and talent days.

What goes on a club card

Front. Action photo, player name, squad number, club logo, season. Keep it simple — a card is small, and anything you cram in makes everything else harder to read.

Back. This is where clubs get creative: position, preferred foot or hand, years at the club, season highlights, a personal fun fact. The fun fact is the bit kids actually read.

The most common mistake we see is photos taken on a phone from the sideline, cropped hard. At card size a tight crop of a distant photo turns to mush. Shoot closer than feels necessary, or tell us early and we'll flag which images won't hold up.

Work we've printed

Specifications

Size. Standard poker size (63.5 × 88.9 mm) is what people expect from a sports card and what fits every sleeve and folder.

Stock. 300gsm as standard. Gloss laminate keeps photography sharp and saturated, which is usually what you want for action shots. Matt is softer and shows fewer fingerprints.

Finishing. Rounded corners as standard. Cards can be supplied loose, bundled by team, or sealed into packs for selling.

Quantities and turnaround

A single team is a completely reasonable order. So is a whole club.

Most card orders run 7–14 working days once artwork is approved. If you're printing for a presentation night, tell us the date first and we'll work backwards and give you an artwork deadline you can hold people to.

That last part matters more than it sounds. Club jobs are rarely late because printing was slow — they're late because the photos took three weeks to collect.

Getting photos and names right

Send a spreadsheet with the names and numbers, and the photos named to match. It sounds obvious; it's the single biggest time-saver on a club job.

Check spelling twice. A misspelled name on a trophy is embarrassing — on a card that goes home to a hundred families, it's worse, and reprinting one card costs nearly as much as the run.

Frequently asked questions

Can we do just one team?

Yes. Short runs are the point of printing locally.

Can we include sponsor logos?

Yes, and the card back is the best place for them.

Can you seal them into packs for fundraising?

Yes — tell us whether you want fixed or randomised contents, because that changes how we collate.

Will my job be printed in Australia or New Zealand?

Depends on the order size and what's running at the time. We'll tell you which before you commit. Either way the cards are couriered, not shipped in a container.

Who owns the photos?

You do, and you're responsible for having permission to use images of players. For junior teams, check your club's photo consent policy before sending anything through.
