4" x 9" rack cards on 16pt stock, laminated on both sides, printed full color and full bleed. Tear and water resistant, silky smooth to the touch, and heavy enough to still look right after a week in a rack that a hundred people have picked through.
From $86 for 100 · 4" x 9" on 16pt
Full-color printing on the front, full bleed, and lamination on both sides are already included. A full-color back is added when you build, from $21. Choose your finish to see its price at every quantity, then add the detail that makes yours the one people take.
No quote request. No hidden setup step. Pick your finish below to see its price at every quantity, then add only the premium detail your project needs.
All rack cards are 16pt (350gsm), laminated both sides, and silk and gloss UV cost the same. Quantities run from 100 up to 5,000.

Silk lamination on both sides gives a smooth matte face that resists scratches and water. It is the default, the more durable of the two in a rack that gets picked over all day, and the better base for foil and spot UV.
Gloss UV lamination on both sides gives a high-shine face that pushes photography and saturated color harder. The right pick when the card is carried by an image rather than by type.
The standard rack card is 4 inches by 9 inches, and that is not an arbitrary number: it is the size that fits a standard brochure rack pocket and a business envelope. Unless you have a specific reason to deviate, this is the one. Standard 4" x 9" and die-cut shapes are priced on this page. Custom sizes are quoted.
102mm x 229mm. Fits standard brochure racks, counter displays, and a #10 envelope, which is why it became the standard in the first place.
Choose this size →Wider, shorter, or square, for a display you already own or a rack that is not a standard fixture.
Request a size →Standard or laser die cutting, plus rounded corners at 3mm, 6mm, or 9mm so the card stands out in a row of rectangles.
Request a shape →The whole SilkCards finish library applies here — same process, same craft. Add only the finishes that fit the piece; we confirm compatibility with your stock and size before production.
| Finish | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Foil (flat) | From +$48 | Metallic accents — gold, silver, copper, and 38 foil colors in all — that catch the light. |
| Spot-UV (flat gloss) | From +$48 | A high-gloss layer over matte — contrast you see as the piece turns. |
| Die-cut (custom shape) | From +$32 | A custom outline or rounded corners so the piece is not just another rectangle. |
| Emboss / deboss | +$48 | Pressed relief that adds dimension without ink. |

A rack card has one design constraint nothing else has: only the top third shows above the pocket, so that is where the name, the hook, and the image have to live. Our custom design service handles the layout with that in mind, plus correct bleed, safe zones, and any foil or spot UV set to register properly. Already have print-ready artwork? Upload it and skip the design charge.
Nobody hands out a rack card. It sits in a rack next to eleven competitors and waits to be picked, which makes it the rare piece of marketing where the physical object does the selling entirely on its own.
In a rack pocket most of the card is hidden. Everything that earns the pick has to happen in the top three inches, which is a design problem before it is a printing one.
Your card is never seen alone. It is seen beside eleven others, so the thing that gets it taken is whichever one looks least like a photocopy.
Racks get picked over, pushed back, and refilled. Lamination on both sides is why the last card out still looks like the first one in.
The same craft as our business cards: 38 foil colors, spot UV, emboss, die cut, and rounded corners. Same process, rack card size.
Every SilkCards rack card is 16pt (350gsm), laminated on both sides. The choice is not how thick it is; it is how the surface behaves under the lighting wherever your rack actually lives. Silk laminated is smooth, matte, low-glare, and the more scratch resistant of the two. Gloss UV laminated is high-shine and pushes saturated color and photography harder.
Smooth matte, low glare, more scratch resistant. The safer pick under overhead lighting, and the better base for foil and spot UV.
Maximum saturation and contrast. Strong for photography-led cards, though glare can be a factor in a brightly lit lobby.

Everything in the rack is 4 by 9 and full color. The finish is the only variable left, and it is the entire difference between the card that gets taken and the eleven that do not.
Any foil in the range, from classic metallics to holographic and patterned. Foil in the top third is the single highest-impact change you can make.
See in a sample →High-gloss detail over the matte face, on the headline or the logo where it will show above the rack pocket.
See in a sample →A custom outline, or a 3mm, 6mm, or 9mm corner radius that breaks the run of hard rectangles either side of you.
See in a sample →Pressed relief that registers by touch the moment someone pulls the card out of the rack.
See in a sample →A hotel lobby, a clinic waiting room, and a trade show table each reward a different finish. We help match the card to the lighting and the traffic.
The classic rack card use. Competing directly against a wall of local attractions, which is exactly where finish decides the outcome.
02Photography-led cards where gloss earns its keep, sized to fit every standard rack in the region.
03Service and program information on a wipeable, durable card that survives a busy waiting room.
04Listing and development cards for counters and open houses, in a size that drops straight into a #10 envelope.
05Menus, events, and takeaway information on stock that shrugs off a wet counter.
06The leave-behind that fits a display stand and still reads as considered rather than as a flyer.
A plain rack card competes on whatever the copy says, which nobody reads until after they have picked it up. Foil or spot UV in the top third is the change that gets it picked up in the first place, and on a run of a thousand it is a smaller line than most people expect.
Choose the finish, add the detail, and see your price as you build, then order the card your rack deserves.
