Affordable Key Card Holders Printing

Pick Gift Card Packaging under Type, Material, and qty in the calculator above. Upload a print-ready PDF with fold lines and pocket opening marked, or send property logo and card dimensions in special instructions for Free Design Setup. We confirm holder layout, bleed on score lines, and foil zones on the digital proof before production starts. Written approval is required before anything prints.

Holder dimensions are driven by your key card size and fold style, not a fixed calculator size dropdown. Standard CR80 hotel key cards fit most Gift Card Packaging layouts when you note card width and pocket depth in comments. Custom tri-fold or gate-fold holders need dieline dimensions in special instructions. We size the pocket opening on the proof so the RFID card slides in without binding.

Material options are Standard for full-color logo and property name on smooth cardstock, Premium / Foiled for metallic accent on monogram or border, and Eco / Recycled for sustainability programs. Standard suits high-volume franchise properties. Premium / Foiled fits resort lobby presentation. Eco / Recycled supports green-brand hotels without a separate material quote.

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 holder layout, pocket opening width, fold score placement, logo position, and material finish notes before a single holder prints. Hotel key card holders need fold-line review so artwork does not crack at the pocket edge. We check front, back, and inside flap panels on the same proof.

Vector PDF with fold lines and pocket zone labeled is ideal for key card holders. High-res PNG at full flat layout size works when you send fold dimensions separately. JPG works for photographic property art but loses crispness on small type. Free Design Setup can build a basic fold-over holder layout from your logo and card dimensions.

Calculator minimum is 25 holders, with tiers at 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,500. A 25 or 50 unit run lets you test holder fit at the front desk before a full property reorder. Per-holder cost drops meaningfully at 250 and again at 1,000 for multi-property brand programs.

We print in Florida and ship key card holders to all 50 states. Enter your zip code during checkout for live ground and expedited rates after production. Flat-pack shipping keeps dimensional weight low for holder restocks across multiple hotel locations.

Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on all printed panel edges. Keep logos and property name at least 0.125 inch inside the safe line from any fold or score edge. Pocket opening and slot bridge areas must stay clear of heavy ink coverage. We flag artwork crowding the card slot on the proof before press.

Hotel managers typically ask whether holders fit standard RFID key cards, how to note tri-fold vs fold-over style, and whether Premium / Foiled costs more than Standard. We confirm pocket width on the proof, recommend describing fold style in comments, and show all material tiers live in the calculator for comparison.

First-time buyers often send a photo of a competitor holder instead of a flat layout PDF. Others place the logo over the pocket opening or forget bleed on inside flap panels. Upload a flat unfolded layout with fold lines marked. We catch artwork over score zones and flag fixes on the proof.

Start with Standard material and Standard 3-5 day turnaround at qty 100 to validate holder fit before scaling up. Standard material keeps base cost lower than Premium / Foiled while you confirm pocket depth at the front desk. Reorder at 250 or 500 once the proof is approved and staff confirm easy card insertion.

Upload holder layout or send card dimensions for Free Design Setup. We email a digital proof within about one business day on most orders showing pocket width, fold 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 holders wrap a room key in a branded pocket at check-in. Packaging insert cards tuck inside shipped boxes as thank-you notes. Belly bands wrap product cartons without a full sleeve. Gift Card Packaging type in the calculator covers fold-over holder formats. Choose holders when the key card itself needs branded presentation at the desk.

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 for total delivery time. Note any property opening date in order comments before checkout.

Yes on qualifying orders. Free Design Setup covers holder layout, logo sizing, fold-line placement, bleed, and pocket opening dimensions at no separate design fee. Send logo vector and key card size in comments. Approve the finished proof before anything prints. Complex custom dielines may need extra prep time noted before we start.

No hidden setup or plate fees on standard key card holder orders. The calculator total covers print, scoring, and your selected shipping tier. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders without a separate design line item. Completely novel holder geometry outside standard fold formats may carry a quoted prep fee noted before order placement.

Production time covers printing, scoring, optional folding, and pack time on our floor after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit from our Florida facility to your address 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 a flat holder layout is best for fold accuracy. High-res PNG at full layout size works for photo panels when you send fold dimensions separately. JPG works for property photography but loses crispness on small checkout-time type. Free Design Setup can convert artwork and add correct bleed for packaging panels.

We price key card holders competitively through direct manufacturing and quantity automation. Send a comparable itemized quote from another shop and we review when print specs, material grade, and holder complexity match. Live calculator totals make it easy to compare landed cost including shipping before you place the order.

After proof approval your key card holder order enters print production, passes QC on fold registration and pocket alignment, packs flat for transit, and ships with a tracking email when the carrier scans the label. Reply to the proof email thread with any property opening date so we can flag timeline risk before printing starts.
