Custom sized cards for brands, promotions and specialist applications
Standard card sizes work well for many projects, but some applications need a format that is more visible, more practical or more distinctive. Custom sized cards give you greater freedom over presentation and can be a strong choice for retail promotions, event credentials, loyalty formats, branded handouts and bespoke campaigns.
If your cards will include barcodes, it is worth reviewing recognised barcode guidance to make sure the final design works well in use. Helpful reference: GS1 UK barcode guidance.
- Choose a size that suits the way the card will be used
- Make branded cards feel more distinctive and memorable

Custom sized card options
The right size depends on how the card will be handled, displayed, scanned or stored. Some projects need a larger format for visibility, while others need a compact size for packaging, wallets or key handouts. We can help you choose a practical specification that supports both presentation and usability.
When custom sized cards are the better choice
Custom sized cards are ideal when standard CR80 dimensions do not suit the application, such as oversized promotional cards, compact retail inserts, event passes or branded handouts that need to stand out more clearly.
Barcode, QR code and numbering options
If your card needs to be scanned or tracked, barcodes, QR codes and sequential numbering can all be added, subject to the layout and intended use of the finished card.
Choosing the right size for the project
We can advise on a size that balances visibility, handling and print practicality. This is especially useful if you know the purpose of the card but have not finalised the dimensions yet.
Projects that combine branding and function
Many custom sized cards are used for more than presentation alone, including loyalty schemes, ticketing, promotions, gift campaigns and event entry. Related options include Loyalty Cards, Gift Cards and Event Cards.
Eco-led material options
If sustainability is part of the brief, we can advise on suitable materials and keep claims specific. Explore Eco Cards, including Recyclable Cards and Wood Cards.
