Commercial Print and Play
Card Templates
Preparing cards in a game or creation for print and play can go wrong in many ways. If you don't know
what you're doing, your customers won't either, and bad templates may cost you negative reviews
and future sales.
But with a template prepared by DanDMadeEasy that costs you between nothing and much less than you may expect, you can expect customers wanting to come back for more and leaving reviews like the following.
DanDMadeEasy Commercial Print and Play Card Templates let you create print and play templates
for your customers that explain the process of making cards at home with near-perfect double sided printing
on any printer. With flexible pricing options, costing far less than you might expect, and potentially
saving you hours tediously aligning files, getting DanDMadeEasy to prepare a template
for you and your customers is a no-brainer.​
THE BEST APPROACH FOR DOUBLE-SIDED PRINTING
Most print and play cards are formatted in one of two ways, both of which have significant downsides.
​
Using the Gutterfold method, which makes it easy to prepare files, but often gives ugly cards with visible
seams, and yields extra costs for glue for every card made.
​
Adding bleed to card front or back images, which limits design choices for card fronts or backs, pretty much
ensures that fronts and backs will be poorly aligned, and adds extra costs in ink due to the bleed.
​
The DanDMadeEasy method avoids those issues almost entirely, yielding high quality, near-perfectly aligned cards with lower costs as there's no need for glue, and significantly less excess ink compared to the bleed method.
The catch? Users need to work out their printer's alignment. Once per printer.

HOW IT WORKS
Using the images you provide, I prepare a print and play card template for you to share with your customers. You have 100% ownership of the final template (but can only use it for that project).
The template includes detailed guides for your customers of every step in the process, links to explainer videos, and a troubleshooting guide.
All you need to provide is the card images – I sort everything else out.
Pricing is flexible, and in some cases, I'll even prepare templates for free.
Pricing depends on factors like the following:
-
Your project. If I love what you're doing, I'll want to be involved! If your project is not commercial and is designed for kids of other pro-community purposes, I'd probably be happy to prepare a template for free - supporting the upcoming generation of gamers is a big part of my mission.
-
If you want custom branding on the template (at a minimum, templates will include attribution to DanDMadeEasy).
-
How much DanDMadeEasy branding you want in the template (by default, templates include links to card-related DanDMadeEasy products, videos, and blogs including links to products that support making cards).
-
If needed, I can host the files for the template, and deliver them to your customers for you. These incur additional costs.
So how do you make print and play card templates for commercial use with DanDMadeEasy?
