How it works
How are Future Talent different to other custom sports cards providers?
Quality is everything when it comes to these cards. We spend much more than double what anyone else does on their product, using cutting-edge printing technology and premium print stock to ensure these feel like the real deal – and trust us you can tell the difference.
So do you create the cards, or do we?
Our website is designed to put you in control. You upload your photo, choose your template, add the text for each team member, and then when you’ve placed your order we take care of the rest and have them printed and delivered to your door within days.
Can we save our progress as we go?
Yes, once you create your account everything you do will be saved. This makes it easy to continue what you’re working on later, but also makes it easy for reordering later.
Do Future Talent check the cards prior to printing?
We can not check the cards prior to printing. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure that the images used on the card and all the text details are correct. As the cards are all created by the customer online, Future Talent do not alter them after the order has been received. Please make sure to check carefully that all of the spelling is correct, that there is no text running over the edges and that all images are placed as you require them.
Future Talent will not be held responsible for customer errors.
What’s the minimum number of cards we can order?
We have a minimum 10 card order, however these can all be entirely different cards and is only the limit for the entire order – not per player.
Do you have special prices for clubs?
Yes, we do we offer special partnership pricing for some clubs. Please contact us if you’d like to learn more.
Creating a custom team template
How do we create a custom template for our club?
We can create a custom template, featuring your team logo and colours, for a one-off fee of $30.00. Once this is created it will be available on the website for anyone in your club to use, and the cost simply covers our expenses for an external designer to create the template.
What do you need to create a custom template and how long will it take?
We simply need your club logo, and any specific details you would like included in the cards. The design takes around 5-7 days to complete and will then be uploaded to the website.
Can I start creating my cards whilst the custom template is being built?
Definitely. You can start creating your cards in the meantime, choosing any template and then simply switch it over when your team template is ready with a click of a button.
Can other teams in our club use the template?
Absolutely. Once it’s created it will remain on the website for you and your club to use indefinitely.
Printing, Packaging and Delivery
What are the card specs?
We print on a heavy duty 350GSM stock, then cards are hand-laminated with a high gloss finish. The cards are 63.5mm width x 88.9mm height.
How long will it take to receive my order?
All print orders up to 100 cards received before midday Wednesday will typically be printed the following Monday and either ready for collection that week or sent to your desired address within 10-15 business days.
All print orders of 100+ cards received before midday Wednesday will typically be printed the following Monday and either ready for collection that week or sent to your desired address within 7-10 business days.
The cards are sent by Australia Post with tracking. If you’d like the tracking details to follow its progress just let us know when ordering.
Can we pick up the cards?
Unfortunately, we no longer offer free pick-up. All orders will be posted/shipped to the address supplied by our customers.
What areas do you ship to?
We ship all over Australia, from Bachus Marsh to Broome, we can usually deliver within 10 business days to almost any region. (some rural regions may take longer depending on Australia Post delivery guidelines)
Fundraising and on-selling cards
Can we use these as a fundraiser for our club?
Absolutely. Many clubs have turned these custom sports cards into a big fundraising opportunity by on-selling these cards to parents in their club. We charge you $1.50 per card, and often teams sell these individually at up to $5 per card – contact us with any questions.
If we want to on-sell these at a higher price is that an issue?
Not at all. We know how important it is for grassroots clubs to find ways to fundraise, and we always sell to you at the price we advertise, and then you are welcome to add whatever mark-up you like.
Capturing imagery and photography
What file format is required for the images, and can I use ones from my phone?
We accept any file formats, and photos you’ve taken on your phone will be perfect. We have a maximum upload size of 2MB per image.
What size should the photos be?
The card dimensions are portrait so this is worth considering when shooting. We also have a maximum upload size of 2MB per image, and the larger the file the longer it may take to load.
Can you provide a photographer?
We have relationships with many club photographers from across Australia, and they really are the best of the best. If you’d like us to connect you with one please let us know.
