Standard trading card size is 2.5 by 3.5 inches per face on the layout proof, matching sleeve and top-loader formats collectors expect. The calculator has no per-card trim dropdown.

Enter zip during checkout for ground and expedited options after production completes and cartons leave our facility.

Add bleed on card corners in the trading card template so color reaches edges after cut. Keep stat lines and logos inside safe zones marked on the proof. Back art needs separate bleed on edges. Rounded corner radius follows standard sleeve-compatible trim shown on the layout proof before production.

League buyers ask why the calculator shows Custom Puzzle, whether stats fit at readable size on 2.5x3.5 faces, and if cards match standard sleeve size. We explain the proxy item, confirm 2.5x3.5 trim on proof, and flag undersized type before print so roster stats stay legible at arm length.
