Does anyone know of any trading card printing companies?
We're doing headshots of the staff of a restaurant (waitresses).
I have to get trading cards printed of a them and the size is 3" x 3.5". Weird size. I need like, 8,000-12,000 of them.

Preferably wholesale as this is a commercial job with potential future orders.
They (the company) have to be fast too.
Thanks for any input you guys can give me.
Sam

Uprinting.com (external link) will let you print on different card stock with any dimensions you choose (1/4" increments). I've used them before for their "club card flyers" and they turned out great. They're a budget "gang-run" place, so their prices are pretty cheap too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yeah, i saw Uprinting after a google search. It seems they go under several different names. I might be trying them out if our usual company is unable to make such an unusual size.
Thanks again.

Haha...yea I think they must have bought up a bunch of local printing press companies at some point. Ours around here is "Los Angeles Printing", which is nice cause it's just 10 min down the street!

I have used Mpix. You can make a custom card there but it involves some complexity.
