Basically i was wondering does anyone know the exact material select print their cards on?

does anyone know any professional prinitng companies i may be able to take this too?

does anyone know the printing company select use?

i know this year it was in china but it hasnt always been that way has it?

You want to use a graphic cardboard. There are a number of different grades though.

Go to Printing. Commercial Printing Services in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Australia and shoot them an email - tell them what your doing and they should be able to help. I use these guys to print things and i could not be happier with their results and service.

They look really good man - you have done a great job.

Nice work GiRDS-:thumbsup:

IMO, one thing that lets them down a bit is using mirror reverse pictures of the players.

Taking into account victors comments i have altered the design a little.

also calling them a Game Breaker Signature Series. makes it more interesting.

Their is a web site in America that lets you design your own cards & downlond the grahics & they print your cards & they post them out to you in 2-4 weeks at a very reasonable cost.
A mate of mine did this & was very happy with quality & price & delivery. I'll ask him over the weekend & get the details for you.
 
Cheers for that george would be great.

i have emailed the company oneil linked so waiting to hear back fro them. happy to get them done twice though to test out how they come out.
 
Hate to put a dampner on your cards but just be careful on what you do with these as if you decide to sell these for a profit and the NRL get wind of it you could be up for a lot of money in court costs and other expenses as there are licence fees to use a players picture for profit ...

There is copy write on the NRL Logo , Team Logos and all the sponsers names .....If it was that easy to make the cards don`t you think someone else would have produced different cards before now ....

As Select has the licence for the next few years I guess we will just have to put up with what they produce until another company get the licence from select ....

Good idea and I guess a lot of effort but just something to think of before you go ahead with your plans ......

Right on the button there Warren, you might want to get yourself some advice from an appropriately qualified person to make sure you are not going to step on any landmines
 
they arent going to be for sale or anything.

just for me to keep at home, maybe on display.

i understand what your saying though

Cheers for the advice.
