Big impression, pocket-sized takeaway

Getting through to people on the go isn’t easy – and leaving a lasting impression can be even harder. But rip cards (sometimes called perforated rack cards) give you a simple, convenient way to do both. Tell your story with eye-catching imagery and a memorable message in the main section. Share your contact info, event details or valuable coupons with the pocket-sized tearaway tab at the bottom. If you’ve gotten the attention of would-be customers, rip cards help keep you top of mind – and make it easier for them to follow up.

Portable & versatile

One of the best things about perforated rip cards is how many different ways you can use them. You can put them in high-traffic areas to get lots of eyes of them, and add a coupon or important info to the tearaway section to make it worth hanging onto. Catch customers on their way in or out by placing them on front counters and reception desks. Include them in trade show displays to get event-goers excited. Or leave them in lobbies and public spaces to get the attention of people passing through.

Easy-to-design sections

Our perforated rip cards may have 2 separate sections, but they’re not twice as hard to design. We’ve created a variety of templates that give the tearaway piece and the rest of your rack card a consistent, complete look. You just plug in the images, information and any other custom touches you’d like. And if you’re not sure how to get just the look you want, we’re always standing by to help.

Approved Proof Did Not Match Final Product

May 30, 2026 | Nikki O. |

Verified Buyer

I have been a loyal Vistaprint customer and have generally had good experiences, which is why this situation was so disappointing. I created a custom marketing flyer for my business and spent a significant amount of time refining the design. The proof I approved had the text centered properly and looked polished and professional. However, the printed product arrived with the text noticeably lower than shown in the approved proof, which threw off the entire layout. Additionally, the first batch I received did not include the perforated tear-off edges that I had specifically ordered and approved. While customer service representatives were responsive, the frustrating part was being repeatedly told that the printed product matched the approved design when the differences were clearly visible in the photos I provided. I had to submit the same photos multiple times for review. A reprint was eventually sent, but the alignment issue remained. Because of the placement, some of the lettering was also affected by the perforated tear-off section, resulting in a less professional appearance than intended. I understand that printing errors can happen. What disappointed me most was the lack of acknowledgment that there was a production issue in the first place. As a business owner, I need confidence that what I approve is what will ultimately be produced and delivered. I appreciate the efforts made by the customer service team after I escalated the issue, but after this experience, I will likely look elsewhere for future marketing materials. I hope Vistaprint takes this feedback seriously and improves both quality control and the way customer concerns are evaluated when discrepancies are reported.

Keep the front side simple. Include an enticing headline and tagline, but don’t overwhelm readers with too much text.

Define your target audience. Tell customers how your product or service can help them. Add benefits. It’s good practice to use the back side of your rack cards to communicate some of the key benefits you offer.

Use inspirational imagery. An attractive, relevant photo will help your rack card stand out and convey the benefits of your product or service.
