Ripcards

These cards punch above their price. They print full color on any of 12 stocks, the tear-off builds redemption right into the format, and one card replaces a card plus a separate coupon. Want to see how rip cards sit next to the rest of the family? Browse the full Rip Cards Printing lineup, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $60.42, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full case for a store rollout or an event costs far less per card than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Is a Rip Card?

A rip card is a single-piece card printed with a built-in perforation so a portion tears away cleanly by hand. At 4OVER4 rip cards print full color on one or both sides at a fixed 3.5" x 8.5" size, on any of 12 stocks, with the ink coverage, finish, rounded corners and turnaround all set in the live configurator.

Think of a rip card as a card and a coupon joined into one piece. The perforation is the whole point: your customer tears the offer, ticket, or tab off along a clean line, keeps that piece, and the rest of the card carries your name or your terms. It prints at one size, 3.5" x 8.5", which leaves room for a headline up top and the detachable section below. You set the ink to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4, pick the stock, choose a finish, and the price updates live as you go.

What Size Are Rip Cards, and Can You Round the Corners?

4OVER4 rip cards print at one finished size, 3.5" x 8.5", the same tall footprint as a rack card, with the perforation built in so a section tears off. You can leave the corners square or round them to a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, and the finished cards can be bundled into handout stacks.

That tall shape is deliberate, since it leaves room for a message across the top and a tear-off section below, all on one card. If you want a softer edge, round the corners to a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, or leave them square. Need the finished cards banded into handout stacks? Turn on bundling. Every size, corner and finishing choice is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For the same 3.5" x 8.5" card without the tear-off, meant to sit in a display rack, the Standard Rack Cards cover that.

Already have your artwork? Skip straight to a press-ready blank instead. The blank rip card template is built at the real 3.5" x 8.5" trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the perforation. Grab it below, drop your art in, and upload.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?

4OVER4 offers 12 stocks for rip cards: gloss and uncoated covers, cream uncoated, recycled 30% and 100% post-consumer options, textured white linen, and a durable 15pt synthetic plastic. Finish options are Standard or High Gloss UV Coating. Ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.

The stock list runs 12 deep and covers a real range. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap, with 16pt and an 80# gloss cover for more weight. Uncoated covers, including cream, give you a natural surface that takes a pen. If sustainability matters, the 30% and 100% post-consumer recycled stocks are here too. The 14pt White Linen and 18pt Premium White Linen add a woven texture you can feel, and the 15pt Synthetic Plastic shrugs off water and tearing for a card that has to survive a wallet or a glovebox. For the finish, pick Standard or a High Gloss UV Coating that makes color snap and resists the fingerprints a handled card collects. Then set your ink to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back.

How Much Do Rip Cards Cost?

Rip cards start at $60.42 for 50 at 4OVER4, about $1.21 per card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000.

What Do People Use Rip Cards For?

Because a rip card tears cleanly in two, it does the job of a card and a coupon at once. The perforation lets a customer keep the detachable piece, a code, a voucher, or a stub, while the rest of the card stays in hand or on display.

Retailers print a discount code on the tear-off strip so shoppers walk away holding the offer. Event organizers use the detachable end as a ticket stub or a raffle entry. Gyms and cafes run them as punch or loyalty cards where a section comes off with each visit. Service businesses put a referral code or an appointment reminder on the piece that leaves with the customer. Run 4/4 full color and the back of the tear-off carries terms, a QR code, or a phone number. For a taller tear-off card that hangs at a store shelf, the Rip Hangers carry the same idea to the point of purchase, and for a simple card people keep by the phone, the Appointment Cards fit that reminder job.

How Do Rip Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Rip cards are the pick when the format itself does the work, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a plain rack card, a hanging tear-off, or a small card people keep, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up rip cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Rip Cards Printed?

Standard production for rip cards is 5 business days, and when a date sneaks up you can move to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day, or full Same-Day. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need approval by the daily cutoff to ship that afternoon from the NYC plant. And 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time, with 82% shipping early, so you are not gambling on the date.
