Archivist Color Copy FAQs
Why use 4.25x5.5 quarter sheets for archival workflow cards?
4.25x5.5 quarter-page cards fit inside standard archival boxes, reading room trays, and acid-free folders without overlapping spine labels. Patrons can pocket finding aid excerpts while materials are pulled. The trim also matches many legacy accession card templates institutions already use. Tell us if you need exact margin specs in comments.
Can I order 1000 accession cards per processing backlog?
Yes. 1000 copies on 65lb cover supports a busy accessioning season across multiple collections. There is no minimum, so you can reorder when one series gets reclassified. Upload separate PDFs per collection type and approve proofs before interns start a major backlog push.
Will small call numbers and restriction codes stay readable?
Free Design Setup can enlarge critical restriction flags and add line spacing so alphanumeric call numbers scan fast at the reference desk. Send vector PDFs with embedded type when possible. Flag any line that must remain unbroken for barcode pairing. We proof tiny type before your full card run prints.
Should archival workflow cards be writable for processing notes?
Uncoated cover stock accepts pencil and pen for box location updates and processing stage ticks better than gloss. Many repositories leave blank rows for intern initials and completion dates. Say how much writing space you need in comments so margins stay usable on proof.
Can cards include color-coded restriction bands?
Yes. Restrained color headers for restricted, fragile, or open collections help reading room staff spot handling rules without opening every finding aid. Keep text high-contrast on the body. We proof that bands print consistently across cover stock batches for different repositories and exhibit seasons.
How do I update cards after a retention schedule revision?
Upload the revised PDF for affected series only and reorder the quantity you need. No minimum helps when one retention code changes but other accession cards stay valid. Version the footer so stacks in processing trays match the current policy document archivists cite during audits.
Can CheapRUSH rush cards before a major exhibit opening?
Rush and express turnarounds show on the calculator when capacity allows. Upload final art early, approve proof the same day, and pick the fastest ship option. Shipping transit is separate from print days. Enter repository zip at checkout before install week when caption proofs must land on curator desks.
