4x9 Rack Card Printing for Businesses, Churches and Events
Flyover Print prints custom rack cards in the standard 4" x 9" size, the card that fits every brochure rack, literature display and #10 envelope. Print in full color on one or both sides, on thick 14PT Cardstock Uncoated as standard, or step up to 14PT Satin, 16PT Uncoated or 16PT Gloss. Add round corners for a softer, finished look. Order as few as 50 cards or up to 10,000, with 5-day, 3-day or next-day production, all printed in-house in Highland, Indiana.
Why 4 x 9?
4" x 9" is the standard rack card size. It slides into the brochure racks you see in hotel lobbies, visitor centers, waiting rooms and church welcome centers, and it fits in a standard #10 envelope for mailing with a letter or invoice. The tall, narrow shape gives you room for a headline at the top, where it shows above the rack, with your details, map or menu below.

Choosing the right paper
| Paper | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14PT Cardstock Uncoated (standard) | Thick, smooth, non-glare finish you can write on | Most rack cards, appointment details and cards people jot notes on |
| 14PT Cardstock Satin | Thick, with a soft low-sheen finish | Photos and rich color without glare |
| 16PT Cardstock Uncoated | Our heaviest uncoated card, extra stiff | A premium feel in hand, writable |
| 16PT Cardstock Gloss | Our heaviest card with a bright, glossy finish | Bold photos and color that pop in a rack |

Add round corners
Choose round corners and all four corners are cut to a 1/4" radius. Rounded corners give your rack cards a softer, finished look and help them hold up to handling in a busy rack. Keep important text and logos away from the very corners of your design.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a rack card?
The standard rack card is 4" x 9". It fits standard brochure racks and literature displays, and it slides into a #10 envelope.
Which paper should we choose?
14PT Cardstock Uncoated is our standard: thick, smooth and easy to write on. 14PT Cardstock Satin has a soft sheen that shows photos without glare. 16PT Cardstock Uncoated and 16PT Cardstock Gloss are our heaviest cards, with gloss giving the brightest color.
Can rack cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Choose front only, or front and back to put your headline and photo on the front and details, a map or a menu on the back.
Do you offer round corners?
Yes. Choose round corners when you order and all four corners are cut to a 1/4" radius. Keep important text and logos away from the very corners.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum is 50 rack cards, and you can order up to 10,000. The price per card goes down as the quantity goes up. Choose your paper, sides and quantity in the calculator above to see your exact price.
How should we set up our rack card file?
Build your file at 4.25" x 9.25" so color runs past the trim line, and keep text and logos at least 1/8" inside the 4" x 9" trim edge. Use images at 350 dpi for the sharpest print. Our Artwork Guidelines walk through every step.
Do you check our file?
Yes. You approve a free online proof at checkout, then a real person checks your file for size, resolution and print setup before it prints. We do not proofread your text, so please check spelling, dates and phone numbers on your proof.
Can you design our rack cards?
Yes. Upload your own print-ready file, start from a free template, or choose "Let us Design for You" and our team will design it with your logo, photos and details. If you want design help, the fee is added to your order.
How fast can we get them?
Choose 5-business-day, 3-business-day or next-business-day production when you order. Production time does not include shipping, so if you are ordering for an event, add UPS transit time and leave a little cushion. You can also pick up at our Highland, Indiana shop Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Up against a deadline? Email info@flyoverprint.com and we will tell you what we can do.
