Making Custom Card Backs

Here is a short video of how I make my custom Backing Cards for my Vintage Collector Enamel Pins. Printing, Mounting, & Cutting.
Check out my merch here: leftcoastgraphics.bigcartel.com
I print my card back artwork on semi gloss adhesive backed 12" x 19" paper. I then set up a simple jig/guide so I can easily mount the adhesive backed paper to my chipboard. Except for the updated digital printing technology these are made the same way our vintage Kenner action figures card backs were, just on a much smaller scale.
After I have finished mounted the backing card they are now ready to be cut on 'BIG MOMMA' and once the cutting is complete I can then round the corners quite quickly.
Thanks for watching. Feel free to ask any questions or inquire to have your own custom card backs made.

[@SeriouslyStarWars]

Using that industrial paper cutter must be so satisfying! Great video!

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

It actually is lol

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

It also saves me 20 hours of cutting by hand which is how it all started.

[@1000thGhost]

I could NEVER trust myself with that big of a sticker! I mess up the ones on my LEGOs

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

Its not that bad once you get the hang of it.

[@SeanSolo8]

Extremely cool! But yikes! I’d be worried about fingers!

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

It is all very safe actually. The most unsafe is me with an xacto knife lol.

[@johnblack9885]

Hi Rick what thickness of cardstock do you use? 22pt?

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

I’m actually mounting adhesive backed paper to chipboard stock just like the original Kenner cards. I think it’s 90pt

[@aldosenor5776]

What paper is the sticker paper you’re using?

[@LeftCoastGraphics]

Adhesive backed paper from my printer mounted on chipboard
