What Rip Cards Are and Why They Work
Rip cards are two-part printed pieces joined by a perforated tear-off section. One half stays in your customer's hand. The other half comes back to you as a coupon, an appointment reminder, a ticket stub, or a response card. That built-in split is the whole point. The perforation practically asks people to interact, which is why rip cards pull better response than a flat postcard for the same promotion.
Real estate agents hand them out at open houses with a tear-off contact card. Salons pair an appointment reminder with a loyalty offer. Event teams run them as RSVP cards with a detachable stub. Whatever the use, you get a business card and a coupon fused into one piece.
The Rip Cards in This Category
This category groups the perforated formats 4OVER4.COM prints. Standard Rip Cards are the flat, wallet-friendly version, a full-color card with a clean tear line for the coupon or reply half. Rip Hangers add a hang-tag style so the piece can loop onto a handle, a rack, or a doorknob while still carrying that same tear-off.
Both share the same idea: one keepable half, one detachable half. Pick Standard Rip Cards when the piece lives in a pocket or purse, and Rip Hangers when you want it to hang in plain sight until someone tears the offer free.
Stocks and Finishes Across the Range
Stock choice sets the feel. A heavier cover stock in the 14pt to 18pt range stays sturdy through pockets, purses, and car dashboards without curling. Thinner sheets keep the cost per piece down for big mailings. Across the line you get 60+ paper types, from gloss and matte cover to uncoated, linen, and even a synthetic plastic option.
Finish changes the look and the job the card can do. High gloss UV coating makes colors pop and shrugs off fingerprints. Matte reads softer and more premium. Uncoated is the one to reach for when someone needs to write on the tear-off half, like an appointment slip or a feedback card. Recycled PCW stocks are on the menu too if a greener piece matters to you.
Getting the Perforated Tear-Off Right
A strong rip card starts with a clean file. Build to the correct trim size, add 0.125 inch bleed on every edge, and keep text and logos at least 0.125 inch inside the trim so nothing gets clipped. Mark the perforation line on its own layer or guide so the prepress team can place the tear exactly where you want it.
Design both halves as if each stands alone. The main side is the hook: bold headline, strong image, one clear ask. The tear-off should carry standalone value, a coupon code, a QR link, or the contact details that still make sense once the two halves separate.
Order Small Runs or National Mailers
Rip cards scale to the campaign. Print a couple hundred for a local promotion or a test drop, or run tens of thousands for a nationwide mailer, all from the same product. Every order includes a free digital proof, so you approve the design and the perforation placement before anything goes to press. No hidden setup fees, no surprise art charges.

What paper stocks and materials can I choose?
Across the rip card line you get 60+ paper types, from gloss and matte cover to uncoated, linen, and a synthetic plastic option. Thicker stocks in the 14pt to 18pt range feel more premium, while thinner stocks keep the cost per piece down for large mailings. Recycled PCW stocks are also available.

What finishes are available?

What is the minimum order?
Minimums vary by product configuration but typically start at small runs suitable for local promotions or test campaigns. Both short-run and high-volume rip card orders are supported, so you can order what you need without overcommitting.
