Hard Card Material

Hard card is a rigid paperboard used when you want a cleaner and more substantial feel than standard text weight paper. It is ideal for temporary signage, handheld pieces, and in store promotions that do not need a plastic substrate.

The Sign Catalog produces hard card from your print ready artwork, cut to size for holders, easels, and handheld use.
