What Is a Palm Card?
A palm card is a compact printed card designed to be handed directly to customers, voters, attendees, or community members. Businesses, campaigns, organizations, schools, churches, and event organizers use palm cards to share promotions, important information, services, event details, and calls to action.
Most palm cards can be printed on both sides, giving you space for an eye-catching headline or design on the front and additional information on the back.

Palm Card Specs and Options
Cardstock weight, finish, size, and printing options all affect how your palm card looks and feels. Use the available options to create the right card for your campaign, business, or event.
Cardstock Weights
Custom palm cards print on premium cardstock in three weights:
- 14pt for affordable, lightweight palm cards ideal for high-volume distribution.
- 16pt for a sturdy everyday option suitable for business promotions, campaigns, and events.
- 18pt for a thicker, more premium feel when presentation and durability are important.
Finishes
Choose a matte, gloss, or uncoated finish.
Matte: A smooth, low-glare finish that gives palm cards a clean and professional appearance.
Gloss: Adds shine and enhances colors, photos, and graphics for a vibrant finished look.
Single-Sided or Double-Sided Printing
Choose single-sided printing for a simple message or double-sided printing when you need additional space.
Use the front for your headline, logo, candidate name, promotion, or main message. Use the back for contact information, services, campaign priorities, QR codes, event details, or calls to action.
Custom Sizes
Choose from our available palm card sizes or request a custom size for your project. Different sizes allow you to balance portability with the amount of information you need to include.
Choosing the Right Cardstock Weight
The right cardstock weight depends on how your palm cards will be distributed and used.
Choose 14pt cardstock for large-volume promotions, political campaigns, community outreach, and events where you need an affordable card that is easy to distribute.
Choose 16pt cardstock for everyday business marketing, real estate promotions, church outreach, and campaign materials where you want a stronger and more substantial card.
Choose 18pt cardstock when you want a thicker, more premium card that creates a stronger first impression.
Heavier cardstock costs slightly more per card but can provide a more durable and premium presentation.
What to Put on a Palm Card
Keep your main message clear and easy to understand. The front should immediately communicate your most important message, while the back can provide supporting information.
Consider including:
- Logo or organization name
- Candidate or business name
- Main headline or promotional message
- Products or services
- Campaign priorities
- Event information
- Special offers or discounts
- Phone number
- Website
- Email address
- Social media information
- QR code
- Address or location
- Call to action
Use readable fonts, strong contrast, and concise messaging so your palm card is easy to understand at a glance.
