What Backing Card Printing is and how it works
Backing Card Printing gives your products a flat, branded card to sit on, hang from or seal into a blister pack. The printed card supports the item, carries your logo and product details, and helps it stand out on busy retail hooks.
We produce Backing Card Printing in fully custom sizes and shapes. You can add euro slots, round holes, or custom die-cut cut-outs so your products hang neatly and stay level on pegs.
Each backing card is printed in full colour on rigid card, so it feels solid in the hand and doesn’t flop when displayed. You choose the board weight, finish and design, and we handle the printing, cutting and packing.
Because backing cards are flat, they ship and store easily. You can keep them ready in bulk and just attach products as needed, which keeps your packing line fast and consistent.
Best uses, industries and product types
Backing Card Printing suits any small or lightweight product that needs to hang or sit in a tidy display. Brands use them for jewellery, hair accessories, socks, fashion trims, electronics accessories, tools, craft items and more.
Retailers love backing cards because they keep SKUs organised. Barcodes, size labels and colour variants are easy to scan and re-stock. Your cards can carry all key details without cluttering the product itself.
If you sell on the high street, backing cards help you match the quality of big-brand displays. For online brands, they level up unboxing and product photography, giving every item a neat, on-brand frame.
You can also pair your Backing Card Printing with Product Packaging Boxes when you need both hanging cards and boxed options in the same range. This keeps your shelf look consistent across packaging types.
For bagged items like garments or accessories, consider combining backing cards with Header Card Packaging to create sets and multipacks under one strong brand look.
And when you want to roll your backing cards into wider campaigns or gift sets, you can link them with your main Custom Packaging Boxes to build a complete branded experience.
Materials, printing and finishing options
We print Backing Card Printing on high-quality folding boxboard and specialist display boards, typically from 300gsm to 400gsm, so your cards stay flat and feel premium. Recycled and kraft options are available when you want a more sustainable, natural look.
Printing is high-resolution CMYK as standard, with accurate colour matching for logos and brand palettes. You can print on one side or both sides – ideal if you want instructions, care details or multilingual text on the reverse.
Finishing options include:
- Matte or gloss lamination for added protection
- Soft-touch lamination for a velvet, luxury feel
- Foil stamping (gold, silver and colours) for logos and accents
- Spot UV to highlight key elements such as your brand mark
- Embossing or debossing for texture and depth
- Die-cut windows, slots and custom shapes
We’ll add hanging holes, euro slots or custom punch shapes exactly where you need them. Perforations, tear-off coupons or fold lines are also possible when you want your Backing Card Printing to work harder in-store.
