Cheap Key Card Holders / Sleeves Printing

Sleeve dimensions follow your key card width and the Type you select, not a fixed size dropdown. Standard CR80 cards measure 3.375 by 2.125 inches. Note card thickness if you use RFID fobs thicker than a standard mag-stripe key. Shrink Sleeve wraps need flat art sized for wrap overlap; open sleeves need pocket depth in comments. We confirm opening width on the proof.

Material options are Standard for daily front-desk handling, Premium / Foiled for metallic logo accent on resort and luxury properties, and Eco / Recycled for sustainability programs. Shrink Sleeve wraps use flexible printable stock suited to tight card fit. Gift Card Packaging open sleeves use cardstock suited to slide-in presentation at check-in.

Standard production 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 and specs. Approval day is not counted as day one. Plan total calendar time as production days plus carrier transit from our Florida facility.

Yes, always. We email a digital proof showing sleeve layout, seam or opening placement, logo position, and material finish before anything prints. Key card sleeves need fit review so branding does not cover RFID tap zones. We check wrap registration and opening width on the same proof pass.

Vector PDF with flat wrap or sleeve layout labeled is ideal. High-res PNG at full layout size works when you send card dimensions separately. JPG works for property photography but loses crispness on small checkout-time type. Free Design Setup can size sleeve art from your logo and card measurements.

Calculator minimum is 25 sleeves, with tiers at 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,500. Short runs at 25 or 50 let you test sleeve fit on live keys before a full property reorder. Per-sleeve cost drops at 250 and again at 1,000 for multi-hotel brand refreshes.

We print in Florida and ship key card sleeves to all 50 states. Enter your zip code during checkout for live ground and expedited rates after production. Flat-pack shipping keeps freight cost manageable for sleeve restocks shipped to central hotel supply rooms or individual properties.

Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on all printed sleeve edges. Keep logos and property name at least 0.125 inch inside the safe line from any seam, fold, or opening edge. RFID tap zones should stay clear of heavy ink when noted in comments. We flag crowded artwork on the proof before press.

Property managers ask whether Shrink Sleeve stays on during tap-to-unlock use, how to size art for RFID fobs, and whether open sleeves cost less than wraps. We confirm fit on the proof, recommend noting card model in comments, and show Type options live in the calculator for cost comparison.

First-time buyers send folded sleeve photos instead of flat layout files. Others size art for CR80 cards when the property uses thicker RFID fobs. Upload flat art with card width noted, or describe fob dimensions in comments. We catch undersized openings on the proof before production.

Start with Standard material and Gift Card Packaging open sleeve at qty 100 to validate desk workflow before scaling. Open sleeves cost less setup complexity than Shrink Sleeve wraps for first orders. Reorder Shrink Sleeve at 250 once staff confirm wrap durability through a full guest stay cycle.

Upload sleeve layout or send card dimensions for Free Design Setup. We email a digital proof within about one business day showing opening width, seam placement, and bleed zones. Reply with changes or written approval. Production begins only after written approval. No time runs while the proof is pending.

Key card sleeves wrap or slide onto room keys at check-in. Key card holders are fold-over pocket formats under the same calculator family. Packaging insert cards ship inside retail boxes. Shrink Sleeve type gives a tight branded wrap; Gift Card Packaging gives an open slide-in sleeve. Pick sleeves when the key keeps branding through the stay.

Rush 2 to 3 business days after proof approval is available when the Rush tier shows in the calculator for your qty. Next-Day is listed when available for smaller quantities. Add carrier transit time on top of production days. Note any property relaunch date in order comments before checkout.

Yes on qualifying orders. Free Design Setup covers sleeve layout, logo sizing, opening dimensions, bleed, and wrap overlap at no separate design fee. Send logo vector and key card size in comments. Approve the finished proof before anything prints. Novel sleeve geometry may need extra prep time noted before we start.

No hidden setup fees on standard key card sleeve orders. The calculator total covers print and your selected shipping tier. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders without a separate design line item. Unusual wrap formats outside standard sleeve layouts may carry a quoted prep fee noted before order placement.

Production time covers printing, cutting, and pack time after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit from our Florida facility after the carrier scans the label. A 3-day production tier plus 3-day ground shipping totals 6 calendar days minimum after approval, not 3.

Vector PDF with flat sleeve or wrap layout is best. High-res PNG at full layout size works for photo art when dimensions are sent separately. JPG works for property images but loses crispness on small type. Free Design Setup can convert artwork and add bleed for sleeve panels.

We price key card sleeves competitively through direct manufacturing and quantity automation. Send a comparable itemized quote and we review when specs and material grade match. Live calculator totals show landed cost including shipping before you place the order.

After proof approval your sleeve order enters print production, passes QC on opening width and registration, packs for transit, and ships with a tracking email when the carrier scans the label. Reply to the proof thread with any property opening deadline so we can flag timeline risk early.
