Tear Cards are printed on flat, rectangular, heavy weight stock in full color. They are perforated 2" from the end, which makes it convenient to include a coupon or contact information. This way, customers do not have to keep the whole card just to get the information they want to hold on to.
UV 1 Side Coating
UV is short for Ultra Violet Light-Cured Coating. This is a high-gloss coating applied over the front of the printed piece. It is not recommended for printed material you need to write on after being produced.
UV 2 Sides Coating
UV is short for Ultra Violet Light-Cured Coating. This is a high-gloss coating applied over the entire front and back of the printed piece. It is not recommended for products you need to write on after being printed.
AQ 2 Sides Coating
AQ is short for Aqueous Coating. This is a semi-gloss, environmentally friendly, water-based coating applied over the entire front and back of the printed piece. It provides additional gloss and protection, and it can be written on with a ballpoint pen.
Satin AQ Coating
AQ is short for Aqueous Coating. This is a matte finish, environmentally friendly, water-based coating applied over the entire printed piece. It reduces the gloss of the printing and it can be written on with a ballpoint pen.

Marketing Tips
Tear Cards are a fun way of creating more interaction with customers, as the customers actually engage with your advertising. A perforated section 2" from the end tears away from the card and creates a business card size piece for customers to keep. This is a great place for a coupon, promotion, or contact information. They also make high-quality raffle tickets for special events.
