Hard Card
Rigid paperboard for point of purchase signage, short run promos, and handheld pieces.
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.
- Rigid look and feel without moving to plastic
- Full color printing, cut to size, optional rounded corners
- Cost effective for short to mid term programs
Hard card gives you structure and presence without jumping to plastic or rigid board. It works well when the sign needs to stand on its own, feel intentional, and still stay cost effective.
We print hard card from finished artwork and trim it precisely for frames, easels, and countertop use.
