Production Card Details

Let's take a look at what a Production Card is, and which parts make up the Production Card Details!

What are Production Cards and where do they come from?

Production cards are the building blocks of a Job. They provide a flexible way to visualize and organize work the needs to get done.

Production cards are automatically generated once an order is placed. You can have a maximum of 4 production cards per product due to print location (i.e. front, back, left sleeve, right sleeve.) A production card will be generated for each design location for every unique item within the order (Note: Production Cards cannot be created manually).
