Pro Tips
Popping Out Cards: Fold the sheet slightly along each perforation line before popping out cards — this releases the perforations cleanly for a smooth rounded edge on every card.
Print Order: Print the back side of your sheets first, then flip and print the front faces — this prevents white edges if your printer's alignment shifts slightly between passes.
Template Choice: Use the rounded edge PDF for playing cards and tarot decks — use the square edge PDF for flashcards and game reference cards where sharp corners are preferred.
Printer Setting: Use Heavyweight or Cardstock mode for smooth feeding and best ink adhesion on 70 lb. matte stock.

How many cards are in a pack?
Pack Yield: 14 sheets with 8 cards per sheet — 112 pop-out cards total, each 2⅛" x 3⅜" with rounded corners.
How do I separate the cards from the sheet?
Pop-Out Separation: Each card is micro-perforated on the sheet — fold slightly along the perforation lines and pop the cards out by hand. No scissors or cutting tools needed for clean separation.
Can I print on both sides?
Double-Sided: Yes — the 70 lb. matte cardstock is printable on both sides for full front and back card designs. Print the back side first, then flip and print the fronts for the most consistent alignment.
Are these cards durable enough for gameplay?
Durability: Yes — the 70 lb. matte cardstock provides the snap and rigidity needed for repeated shuffling and active gameplay. For extended use, consider sleeving finished cards in standard hobby card sleeves.
How is this different from the standard printable playing card sheets?
Product Comparison: These hobby cards (2⅛" x 3⅜") are a smaller action card format — micro-perforated for pop-out separation, ideal for community chest style decks and game event cards. Our printable playing card sheets are standard poker size (2½" x 3½") on a 6-up layout.
