How to Choose Flash Card Paper
Single Sheet Cardstock Flash Cards
For standard student flash cards, 300gsm or 350gsm premium cardstock works well. The coated paper helps maintain consistent print quality on both sides and provides enough thickness to withstand regular handling.
Single Sheet C1S Paper Flash Cards
If you need flash cards with images on one side and another side for writing, 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper is ideal. One coated side enhances print clarity, while the uncoated side better absorbs ink, making it easier to write on.
Mounted Double-Layer C1S Paper Flash Cards
By mounting two layers of 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper, you get extra rigidity that prevents bending over time—even when kids use them repeatedly. Each flash card’s thickness is around 0.8mm – 1mm. These cards typically feature rounded corners for added safety and longer-lasting durability.
Mounted Triple-Layer C1S Paper Flash Cards
For maximum strength, triple-layer 300gsm or 350gsm C1S paper mounted is the best option. Each flash card’s thickness is around 1.2mm – 1.5mm. The additional layers make the cards sturdy enough for active play and frequent handling, especially by younger children. Rounded corners provide an extra measure of safety.

Surface Finishes for Flash Cards
Because of the context of use in which most flash cards are deployed, they need to be especially robust and resistant. For that reason, we always recommend that they are finished with either a varnish, gloss, or matte lamination on both sides. We will usually round off the corner, too, and if you’d like us to drill a hole through one corner of the cards so they can be collected onto a ring, just ask.
A non-glossy coating on both sides that offers a textured feel.
A glossy coating on both sides with a subtle texture.
A smooth, velvety matte film applied to both sides, offering durable, non-reflective finish.
A shiny film applied to both sides, giving the card a sleek, high-gloss appearance.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic gold foil pressed onto the card for an elegant, eye-catching detail.

Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Flash Card Sizes
To ensure every set of cards has smooth edges, we use an extrusion mold to die-cut each set of cards. Having produced cards for many years, we’ve accumulated numerous card molds, which helps you save on mold fees. We have molds for almost every card size. Here are some examples.
Custom Flash Card Boxes
Selecting the right box style for your flash card packaging is crucial for ensuring your flash card deck is both protected and stands out. Consider your card count, card size, and overall purpose to find the ideal solution. Below are some popular box styles for reference, and we can also collaborate on creating a custom box style tailored to your needs.
Tuck end box
A lightweight, economical box style with flaps that fold into each end, ideal for smaller decks and retail packaging.
Telescope rigid box
A sturdy two-piece box with a separate lid and base, offering premium protection and presentation.
Magnetic closure rigid box
A premium rigid box with a magnetic flap that snaps shut, perfect for collector's editions or high-end game sets.
Shoulder Neck Rigid Box
A premium two-piece box with a raised inner tray (shoulder) for added depth and a sleek, elegant unboxing experience.
Shrink-wrapped decks
Sealed in a tight, clear plastic film for protection during shipping or as a simple retail-ready option.

We can also offer a range of associated accessories you may find useful, such as stickers, rings, an elastic band, booklets, and more, to further support and enhance the educational value of your flash cards.
We’re always happy to discuss new formats or unusual specifications. If you don’t see what you’re looking for above, get in touch. Our team will be glad to help.

What is the minimum order quantity?
200 sets.
How long does it take to print and ship custom flash cards?
The production timeline typically ranges from 2-3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your order. Shipping times vary by location, but we provide estimated delivery dates upon order confirmation.
Can I order a sample deck before mass production?
Yes, you can order a sample deck before mass production! We offer various proofing options to help you review the design, colors, paper type, and print quality of the final product.
If you’re unsure about our paper types, finishes, or want to see examples of past projects, you can also request a paper sample pack for reference. This ensures you’re fully confident before moving forward with your order!
How to prepare files for flash card printing?
It’s important that you prepare your files correctly to make sure that your cards come out looking great. Here, we share a few important tips.
- Export your files in PDF format for printing
- Make sure that you change the color space from RGB to CMYK before you export
- If you’re exporting bitmaps from Photoshop, for example — then make sure that you set the image resolution to 300 dpi
- If you have a design with colors or images which extend all the way to the edge of the finished sticker, remember to add a 3 mm “bleed zone” to allow for die-cutting
If you’re working with a professional designer to create your files, they should understand what’s needed to make everything “print ready”. But if you’re working with design software yourself for the first time, these are the vital tips to remember before you submit your files. Still, our team of experts will always manually check all your files before we go to press. If we find any issues, we’ll let you know and help you resolve them.
What file format should I use for custom card designs?
We accept high-resolution PDF files with a minimum of 300 DPI in CMYK color mode and 3-mm bleed. Be sure to include bleed and crop marks for accurate printing.
Can I print on both sides of the cards?
Yes, absolutely! We offer full double-sided printing in vibrant colors and premium finishes, allowing you to maximize space for your designs or content. Choose a uniform backside design or multiple backside designs for even more creative flexibility.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide, including to the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia. We offer various shipping options, including combined sea and air freight, to suit your budget and timeline.
QinPrinting Reviews
When I received the books I could not believe the quality, much better than I anticipated. The printing quality is exquisite and we are over the moon to share the books with our school community. Each person that has reviewed the books so far has spoken highly of the quality.
Thank you so very much once more and we look forward to working with you on an annual basis.
Susan Han and Carol Li did amazing job to answer all our questions, patiently walk with us along with the project step by step, had a great communication, came up with great solutions and showed a high level of professionalism. The product is of amazing quality, and there were no unexpected delays on any level. We are planning to print our next game with them.

Most of all, we are so grateful for Nelson’s support throughout the entire process. He was consistently helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented — truly a pleasure to work with. Every step was made easier thanks to his guidance and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Highly recommend both the product and working with Nelson. We’ll definitely be back for future projects.
A special thanks to Nelson, who went above and beyond by sending us videos of the printed books and samples before shipping to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and dedication gave us great peace of mind.
We had a children’s book printed and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The print quality, vibrant colors, sturdy binding, and professional packaging exceeded our expectations. Delivery was timely and the pricing was very competitive, especially for the high level of quality and service we received.
We were so impressed that we didn’t hesitate to place a second order with them and once again, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a reliable, high quality, and customer focused printing company, QinPrinting is the one to go with. Highly recommended!
The product itself is so well made in terms of quality — Every detail was exactly as promised, if not better.
What really stood out to me, though, was the follow-up. Even after the purchase and delivery Nelson checked in to ensure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied. That level of care and commitment to customer experience is rare and truly appreciated.
