DEADLINES AROUND TIME? TRY NEXTDAYFLYERS! August 31, 2024 by Gail ( TX )
“We ordered custom double sided postcards on a Saturday and we needed them to arrive at our destination by Thursday. I had never used NDF before so it was with a bit of anxiety that I paid and pushed "submit". They did not disappoint! Our post cards were delivered Wednesday before noon and they look great! I will definitely use NDF again for our printing needs.”

Grab the Spotlight With Comp Cards

Everyone who works in the entertainment business knows it’s all about making a great first impression. With comp card printing, you can increase your marketability by showing off your best photos and highlighting the most important information about yourself. They’re an important tool for creative professionals in these industries.

Comp cards (also known as composite cards, zed cards, and model cards) are the business cards for models, artists, and actors. Some examples of comp cards include the best images from a model’s portfolio, including headshots and full-body photos. A professional comp card is the key to potential employment opportunities. Use it to achieve the best first impression and land your next gig.

Grab the spotlight today. NextDayFlyers guarantees high-quality and cheap comp card printing for any budget. Our model cards are made with premium and thick cardstock in customizable sizes and glossy coatings. Upload your photo or design now and our printing experts can proof your file for free.


What Do You Put On a Comp Card?

Your comp card should be both visually appealing and at the same time, include essential information that potential employers can reference. Here are some ways you can use your cards to land your next gig.

Use a variety of images in your model card.
Typically, you should include 3 or 4 images in every comp card you print. Vary your images with different types of shots, such as headshots and full-body shots, as well as different styles of hair and make-up. These images should show your experience and range as a model or actor. Consider using a larger size comp card if you want to feature more photos.

List your measurements and your contact information.
Include typical measurements such as height, weight, chest, waist, and hip size. You may also include eye color, shoe size, and dress size. For contact information, add the best way employers can contact you immediately. Finally, if you have a portfolio website, you need to include that as well.

Consider using a coating for your comp card.
Add a little more pizzaz to your comp cards by using paper coatings. Gloss and high gloss UV add shine to your images and makes them pop. Matte coating is subtle and subdued which adds a luxurious style to your card. Choose any of these comp card printing options to stand out from the crowd.

The standard printing turnaround time for these is 3 business days. The shipping turnaround time would depend on the shipping method chosen and the location. Assuming that there will be no file issues, as long as the proof or file is approved and the payment meets the cutoff time of 6 PM PST, this will be in the queue for printing the next business day upon order placement.

Yes, we offer 16 pt cardstock on this product; this would be 0.016" thick, regardless of the coating option you select.

Great question. For comp card printing, our system is set up to take press ready artwork. Press ready artwork is sized to fit the comp card that will be printed and features graphics, images, and text in 300 dpi resolution or higher. Press ready artwork is typically created using design software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. If you do not have access to design software, we offer a free design tool that can be accessed on the comp card printing page by selecting Create Design Online - Be sure to select the correct size on the pricing calculator before accessing the design tool. Or, if you would like to be quoted on graphic design services, select Use Our Design Services Team. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to answer this important question about comp card printing.
