Table of Contents
Custom accessories build your brand by putting one logo everywhere a buyer sees you: on the mat and backdrop during a stream, on the sticker that seals their card, and on the banner and shirt at your table. Below is every custom product we print, what each one is made of and where it does the most work.
These products were built for card breakers and card shops. They work the same way for anyone who sells live or at shows, such as comic, video game and other collectibles sellers.
Why Use Custom Accessories for Branding?
A card shop or a breaker competes with every other seller a buyer follows. A logo that shows up in the same colors on your stream, in your packages and at your table tells the buyer that all three are the same seller.
Custom accessories are a practical way to do that, because they are things you already use. You need a mat to open cards on, a background behind you and a way to seal a holder. Printing your logo on those items puts your brand in view without adding anything to your routine.

On Camera: Mats, Backdrops and Card Stands
If you sell live, the table and the wall behind you are the two things viewers look at for the whole stream.
- Mat. Our Custom Sports Card Break Mats are 4 mm thick neoprene with an anti-slip backing and a hemmed edge. You choose a color and add your logo. Sizes are 12 x 18, 12 x 22 and 16 x 32 inches. For trading card games, the Custom TCG Playmats use the same 4 mm neoprene and can be printed with a custom image, a logo or a color of your choice.
- Backdrop. Our Custom Backdrop is 100% polyester microfiber, printed edge to edge, with hems on all sides. It comes in four sizes: 26 x 36, 50 x 60, 68 x 80 and 88 x 104 inches.
- Card stand. Our Custom Card Stand is a two-piece hardboard stand with a plastic leg, a one-sided print and a glossy finish.

In the Package: Stickers and Labels
The package is the one piece of your brand a buyer holds. A sticker on the holder travels with the card.
- One-touch stickers. Our Custom One Touch Stickers come 80 to an order on sticker paper. Use them on a one-touch holder or a toploader.
- Circle labels. Our Custom Circle Label Stickers come 24 to an order on sticker paper.
Do not need a logo? Our Premium One-Touch and Toploader Stickers come 50 to a pack in multiple colors. See everything in the stickers collection.
In Person: Banners and T-Shirts
At a card show or behind a shop counter, buyers see you before they see your inventory.
- Banner. Our Custom Vinyl Banner is 10 oz scrim vinyl with heat-welded hems and grommets, in horizontal or vertical orientation. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Hanging strings are not included.
- T-shirts. Our Custom T-Shirts are unisex heavy cotton tees with a classic fit and a tear-away label. You upload a logo or design and choose a background color, size and quantity.

Design Tips Before You Order
- Use one logo and one set of colors. The mat, backdrop, stickers and shirt should match, so a buyer connects the stream to the package.
- Use a white or black background on mats. Our mats and playmats are printed with sublimation. We recommend a white or black background, because dark patterns can show faded color around the seams.
- Measure first. Check the table area your camera shows before you pick a mat size, and the wall area before you pick a backdrop size.
- Order for how you sell. A breaker gets the most use from a mat, a backdrop and one-touch stickers. A shop or show seller gets more from a banner, shirts and circle labels.
Bundles: Several Custom Pieces in One Order
The Starter Breaker Bundle includes a custom 16 x 32 inch card mat, a custom 26 x 36 inch backdrop, 80 custom one-touch stickers and custom circle labels.
