Questions, answered
Do I need design skills to make a card?
No. The card builder does the design work for you. You choose a ready-made design, upload a photo, and fill in the text fields. Everything updates on screen as you type, so you can see the result without any design experience.
What sports can I make a card for?
CardStar has designs for a wide range of sports including football, basketball, cricket, American football, ice hockey, golf and tennis, among others. Each sport has its own stat labels and layout so the card fits the game.
Can I make a card for a child?
Yes. Cards for young players are one of the most popular uses. Parents can add their child's photo through the card builder, and for team orders a shared link lets parents upload photos privately.
What size should I order?
It depends on where the card will be displayed. Smaller sizes suit a desk or a gift. Mid-range sizes work well on a bedroom wall. The largest sizes are ideal for a clubhouse or a more prominent display. You can see the full size range, which runs from A5 (14.8 脳 21 cm, 5.8 脳 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 脳 118.9 cm, 33.1 脳 46.8 in), before you decide.
Can I make cards for a whole team at once?
Yes. The team orders tool lets you build cards for every player together. You can share a link so parents can add their child's photo, and you review everything before the cards go to print. You can include a card for a coach or manager as well.
Is the card delivered already cut to shape?
Yes. Every card is printed to order and cut to the outline of the card design, so it arrives ready to display or frame. You do not need to cut or trim anything yourself.
