Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about upper deck custom cards

Can I create cards that look like vintage Upper Deck designs?

Yes, our template collection includes designs inspired by classic trading card layouts from various eras. You can achieve that authentic vintage look while featuring your own custom photos and information.

What photo quality do I need for the best upper deck custom cards?

Higher resolution photos produce the best results, but our platform can work with most digital photos. We recommend images that are clear, well-lit, and at least 300 DPI for optimal printing quality.
