Questions, answered
What sport can I make a card for?
CardStar covers a wide range of sports including football, basketball, cricket, American football and more. Each sport has dedicated designs built around its visual style. If you want something completely bespoke, the Create your own option lets you choose the shape and background yourself.
How do I add a young player's photo safely?
Parents can add their child's photo directly when building the card. For team orders, a shared link lets parents upload their own child's photo, and you review and approve each one before printing. No photo is shared beyond the ordering process.
What stats should I use for a child's card?
You can use whatever six stats feel right. Real game stats like goals or assists work well for competitive junior players. For younger children, you might prefer qualities like effort, teamwork or seasons played. All six fields are fully editable, so you decide what the card says.
Can I order a set of matching cards for a whole team?
Yes. The team orders tool lets you build every player's card together using the same design. Parents can add their child's photo through a shared link, and you approve each photo before the order is placed. Every card in the set is then printed and cut to order.
What sizes are available for kids' cards?
Six sizes are available 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). Smaller sizes work well as part of a birthday gift or on a desk. Larger sizes are popular for bedroom walls or display at a club. The preview is the same across all sizes, so you choose the size last based on where the card will be kept.
Can I preview the card before I order?
Yes. The live preview updates as you edit, so you can see exactly what will be printed before you place your order. You can change the photo, name, position and all six stats and check the result each time.
