Retail packaging often needs a rigid card behind the product to give it shape on a hook or peg, and that's exactly what backing card printing solves. Auckland retailers, distributors and product brands use these cards to package everything from hardware items to craft supplies, giving loose or awkward-shaped products a clean, hangable retail presentation.
Common uses include:
Hang-sell packaging for hardware, electronics and small parts
Craft and haberdashery product backing
Retail blister pack bases
Point-of-sale product mounts
Trade show and market stall product display
Sample or swatch cards for showrooms
Card stock options run from 300gsm through to 400gsm DCP Offset, with satin or uncoated finishes depending on how the card needs to handle and print. A centred 5mm hole punch is available for pegboard hanging, along with rounded corners in 3mm or 5mm, and matt, gloss or anti-scuff matt laminating for cards that need to survive extra handling on the shop floor. Every job runs through digital printing at our Auckland facility, and the product page's Instant Price Calculator shows Rush, Express, Standard and Economy turnaround options with real dates and pricing before you commit. If your packaging also needs matching product labels, we print those in-house too.

“Josh from Direct Print never ceases to amaze me. I had an urgent job that needed completing overnight and he went above and beyond - figuring out the right sizing, printing the materials and even delivering them to the city I was flying to the next day for a keynote. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. So thankful to have someone like him on my team. Highly recommend!”
