A useful starting system
What belongs on a complete trading card?
Tell the player story
Add a short bio, real stats, one memorable quote or moment, a collector number, and the season or year.
Protect the important details
Keep essential text inside the dashed safe area. Confirm bleed, color, and export requirements with the printer you choose.
Want the experience, not the layout work?
Turn three photos into the whole card.
TradingCardsRUs builds a coordinated front and back, then lets you download it or take it into print, a sealed pack, or a holographic 1/1.
Template questions
Free trading card template FAQ
Is the trading card template free?
Yes. Both SVG files can be downloaded without an account or email gate.
What size is the template?
The artboard uses the standard 2.5-by-3.5-inch trading card proportion at 750 by 1050 pixels. Ask your chosen printer about any bleed they require before production.
Can I edit the SVG files?
Yes. SVG is a vector format that can be opened in many design tools. Text handling and font substitution depend on the software you use.
Can TradingCardsRUs make the finished card for me?
Yes. If you would rather skip manual layout work, use the online builder with three photos and your player details to create a coordinated front and back.
