How to Create and Sell Custom Flashcards
Wanting to create and sell your own flashcards? We know this is a growing market but we also know that knowing where to start can be overwhelming.
From creating a concept and designing to getting the final design print ready, there are key features that make a big difference between something that sells and something that doesn’t.
The most common flashcards we’ve had customers create are flashcards for learning language, children’s education and wellbeing products like affirmation cards.
Hands-on learning tools have a strong demand now, so flashcards give a great opportunity for healthy profit margins and to help you stand out more.
Why Flashcards work so well
Flashcards are used by a wide range of people and they are a popular choice for promoting health, mindfulness and personal development. As a learning tool they have a big impact because they’re designed to keep people engaged which makes them easier to learn from and remember.
They’re portable and convenient, but also a smart product for sellers because of the growing demands for hands-on resources. They give you the perfect chance to expand your product range and reach new audiences.
How can you make your flashcards stand out?
Target a specific audience– One of the best ways to make sure your flashcards stand out is to focus on a specific audience. By creating products tailored to an established audience you can make it more specific to help the product resonate with them more.
Focus on creative design- Because everything we print is made to order, why not get creative? You have the opportunity to choose any colour, typography or distinctive illustrations you want to help your flashcards stand out. You can also experiment with formats and features, like exploring custom shapes, rounded corners, dry-wipe finishes or add hinge rings and lanyards. This could help improve the usability of your product and make it appear more thoughtful to the customer.
Packaging- With the perfect packaging, your product becomes more than just a set of flashcards, it becomes an experience for the customer.
Well thought out, well presented packaging makes your product look premium and reflects the quality of your flashcards better to create a stronger impression. We recommend designing your packaging with your branding because it makes your flashcards look more professional.
If you choose to add packaging then we ship them to you pre-collated and inserted into the box ready to sell.
Available options
Our standard flashcards are printed on 350gsm silk finish that is smooth and sturdy. This is our most cost effective option for perfect, high quality flashcards.

Pricing
We know that price is a big factor to consider when creating a new product. Costs depend on size, number of cards per pack, quantity, materials chosen and any additional features. We do offer more cost effective options as well as premium options for stock.
Like most print, the more you order, the lower the overall cost is per pack.
Just Starting Out?
If flashcards are a new product for you, then starting small is the best approach. This gives you a chance to understand how well they sell for you before committing to ordering larger quantities. This is why we offer our starter bundle, which is an initial bundle of 10 packs of your custom printed flashcards. This way you can see the quality and have a test run before increasing your order.
A quick overview
Custom flashcards are an effective way to offer a new product that people want to use. Because they are in strong demand they have potential for a high profit margin.
