Low-Cost Itinerary Cards Printing

Itinerary cards are small-format event schedule cards printed on cardstock with the day's timeline, speaker order, or ceremony sequence for guests. They are not tickets and do not need perforation or sequential numbering. Select the closest card type in the calculator above, note your target card size and schedule layout in special instructions, and order with Free Design Setup included on qualifying orders.

Select the closest card type in the calculator above, note your target card size and schedule copy in special instructions, then upload a print-ready PDF or paste your schedule for Free Design Setup. We confirm card size, type layout, and stock choice on the proof before printing. Production starts only after you reply with written approval to the emailed proof.

Common sizes are 2x5.5 wallet cards for compact 4 to 6 item timelines, 4x6 half-letter for full-day schedules with room and session columns, and 5x7 for multi-day programs or elaborate wedding day timelines. Note your target size in special instructions; the calculator uses ticket type options as the closest cardstock proxy, and we size the job correctly from your comment.

Calculator stock options include 14pt Gloss, 14pt Matte, and Security/Numbered. For itinerary cards, 14pt Matte is recommended because dense schedule type reads better on a non-reflective surface under venue lighting. 14pt Gloss works when photo or color backgrounds anchor the timeline on the front panel. Security/Numbered stock is not standard for itinerary use.

Standard production for itinerary cards is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear in the calculator when available for your qty. Order at least 10 business days before your event to cover production plus ground carrier transit. Note your event date in order comments and we flag any timeline risk.

On this Low-Cost Itinerary Cards page, yes - every order gets a digital email proof showing layout, color, trim, and placement before anything prints. Reply with changes or written approval. No production starts while the proof is pending. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.

Print-ready PDF at your target card size with 0.125 inch bleed is ideal. For text-heavy itinerary cards, provide type in vector PDF so small schedule copy stays sharp through the printing process. If submitting copy for Free Design Setup, list schedule items in a plain text document or order comments and we build the layout and send a proof.

Calculator minimum is 100 cards, with tiers at 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000. Intimate weddings and private dinners typically need 100 to 250. Corporate conferences order 500 to 2,000 depending on registrant count. Order at least 10 percent above headcount to cover latecomers, vendor sets, and last-minute reprints before the event.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship itinerary cards to all 50 states. Enter your zip code at checkout for live ground and priority shipping rates. Rush carrier options are available when your event date is close and the carrier tier shows in the checkout after selecting production turnaround.

Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on all sides. Keep schedule text and logos at least 0.125 inch inside the trim edge. On narrow 2x5.5 wallet cards, margins matter especially on the long sides; keep type at least 0.1 inch from any edge to avoid text trimming. We mark safe zones on your proof and flag any content too close to trim.

Event planners most often ask whether wallet-size cards are readable at small type, whether two-sided printing fits the full agenda, and whether the 500-piece tier is worth ordering extra. We proof type size and leading for readability, map both card faces on the proof, and show per-card cost at multiple tiers live in the calculator for comparison.

The most common itinerary card mistake is fitting a 10-hour conference schedule into a 2x5.5 wallet card without reducing type size. Others order exactly to headcount with no backup cards. Plan a 10 percent buffer, use 4x6 or 5x7 for dense multi-session schedules, and confirm type size at 8pt minimum on the proof before approving.

Start with 14pt Matte, two-sided, qty 100 at Standard 3-5 day turnaround to keep base cost low for small events. Matte reads better than gloss for dense schedule copy. Upgrade to 4x6 card size only if your schedule exceeds six items on the 2x5.5 wallet format. Proof revision is included so confirm type legibility before committing to full quantity.

Send copy and art or Free Design Setup notes and receive a digital proof within about one business day on most orders. Review schedule layout, column alignment, type size, and card trim. Reply with changes or written approval. Production runs only after written approval. If you need physical approval before a large conference order, request a digital proof review first.

Itinerary cards are flat schedule cards with no perforation. Event tickets add perforated stub and sequential numbering for admission gate control. Vouchers carry redemption terms and a coupon zone. Wedding programs are folded booklets with multi-page ceremony detail. Choose itinerary card format when guests need a portable one-card agenda without ticket or coupon function.

Rush 2 to 3 business day production is available when the Rush tier shows in the calculator for your qty. Next-Day is listed when available for smaller runs. Add carrier transit time to get total delivery days. Note your event date in order comments; we review timeline and flag any delivery risk before the job enters production.

Free Design Setup is included on qualifying itinerary card orders. Send your event schedule in a document, logo files, and any color or font preferences. We build the card layout, balance type size for readability across the timeline, and send a proof for your review. Revision rounds are included until you approve before printing.

No surprise fees on itinerary card orders. Calculator total covers print, cut, and your chosen shipping tier. Free Design Setup for schedule layout is included on qualifying orders without a separate line item. Sequential numbering is not standard for itinerary cards; if requested, it carries a noted add-on cost before your order is placed.

Production time is our floor time to print, cut, and pack after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit from our Florida facility to your venue or address. A 3-day production order plus a 2-day shipping tier totals 5 calendar days from approval to your door, not 3. Factor both when planning around your fixed event date.

Vector PDF at final card size gives the crispest type for dense schedule copy on itinerary cards. High-res PNG at 300 dpi at final trim size works for photo-background designs. JPG is acceptable for full-bleed photography panels only. Free Design Setup works from plain text schedule copy, logo file, and design direction without requiring a finished PDF from you.

We price itinerary cards competitively through direct printing and quantity automation. Use the live calculator for your real-time total. Send a comparable shop quote with matching stock, qty, and card dimensions and we review for price alignment. Transparent calculator pricing means no hidden add-ons appear during checkout.

After proof approval your itinerary card order enters press, cuts to final card size, packs for shipment, and ships with a tracking email when the carrier scans the label. If you have a hard event-day deadline, note it in order comments before checkout and we confirm whether production plus transit fits your schedule before printing starts.
