FAQ

Timeframes depend on artwork approval, production, and shipping.

🖊️ You Design It Yourself

Review your on-screen proof before placing your DIY order. Placing the order approves that artwork for printing.

🎨 We Design It For You

We email your proof for approval. Printing begins after you approve it; proof preparation and revisions add time.

📦 Production & Delivery

Standard production typically takes 1–3 business days after artwork approval. Standard U.S. shipping typically takes 5–7 business days after shipment and is included for 70 lb stock. The 14 pt cardstock option uses paid Priority shipping, typically 2–3 business days after shipment.

⚡ Want your order faster? Rush production often prints and ships the same or next business day after approval, but same-day dispatch is not guaranteed. Production and transit are separate estimates. Contact us before ordering if you have a deadline.

Understandably, we cannot offer refunds or returns on custom-printed items, unless the error is on our end — meaning the final product differs from the approved proof — or if you cancel your order before printing begins.

If we design your BILL-BOARD® for you, you’ll always receive a proof to review and approve before anything goes to print. We don’t print until you’re 100% satisfied with the design.

If you design your own using our Online Designer, your on-screen layout serves as your final proof. In other words, what you design is what you’ll get, so double-check spelling, images, and layout before placing your order.

Once an order has been approved and sent to print, it becomes final and non-refundable.

No. After printing, each BILL-BOARD® card is run through our precision die-cutting machine to achieve its unique shape. Because of the small size and custom design, they can’t be folded automatically by machine.

Not to worry — BILL-BOARD® cards are quick and easy to fold by hand. You’ll be surprised how many you can fold in just a few minutes!

We do our best to get orders out quickly! Our standard production time is 1–3 business days after artwork approval, plus shipping time.

• Standard U.S. shipping: typically 5–7 business days after shipment; included for 70 lb stock.
• Priority shipping: typically 2–3 business days after shipment; paid shipping is required for 14 pt cardstock.

🚀 Want Your Order Faster?

Opt for Rush Production to move your approved order to the front of the production queue! Rush orders often print and ship the same or next business day, depending on workload and approval time; same-day dispatch is not guaranteed.

For 70 lb stock, rush is $9, or $12 for rush plus Priority shipping. For 14 pt cardstock, rush is $9 plus the applicable Priority shipping charge. Review your selected option and total before ordering. Production and transit are separate estimates.

💡 Pro Tip: Please plan ahead. If you have an upcoming event or need your cards urgently, contact us first to confirm whether your deadline can be accommodated.

We’ve retired the previous-style money design because demand for it has steadily dropped to almost zero over the years. Rather than splitting our time and materials between two versions, we made the decision to focus 100% on the current-style money that’s actually in circulation today.

This lets us streamline production, keep quality and turnaround times high, and avoid any confusion about which design customers are receiving. In short, almost everyone now chooses the current style—so we’ve followed that natural shift and dedicated our efforts to making that version the best it can be.

No — and there’s a good reason for that.

The BILL-BOARD® card isn’t real currency — it’s the delivery vehicle for your message. The denomination printed on the outside doesn’t need to match a discount, coupon, or dollar amount — it’s simply the hook that gets your prospect to pick it up and read what’s inside.

After extensive field testing, the $100 design proved to be the clear winner. It carries the strongest perceived value and gets the best reaction. People love the feeling of finding a $100 bill — it immediately captures attention and curiosity. A $5 or $10 bill just doesn’t create that same excitement.

If lower denominations worked better, we’d print them — our presses don’t care what’s on the bill. But we know from experience that $100 works, and that’s why we stick with it. Don’t fall for imitations or gimmicks offering different amounts. The $100 BILL-BOARD® is the one that gets noticed, gets picked up, and gets results.

For the best print quality, we recommend images with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and, when possible, a transparent background.

• Color artwork/images: Use CMYK color mode.

• Black & white artwork/images: Use grayscale.

• Accepted file formats: .TIF, .TIFF, .EPS, .AI, .PSD, .JPG, .PNG, .PDF.

🚫 Important: Avoid using images or logos saved from websites. They might look crisp and clear on your screen, but to a professional printer, they look blurry, pixelated, and low-quality.
That’s because most web graphics are purposely saved at low resolution (72 dpi) so pages load quickly online — great for the web, terrible for print.

If you’re not sure about your file quality, send us what you have. We’ll review it before printing and let you know if there’s anything that might affect your final result.

💡 Pro Tip: Zoom in on your image — if it looks fuzzy or jagged up close, it will print that way too.

You can print just about anything you’d like — full-color logos, photos, text in any font or color, and more. Your imagination is the only limit!

💡 Quick Tip: While it’s tempting to include lots of details, remember — less is more.

These cards are designed to spark curiosity and inspire action, not to tell your whole story. Keep your message short, clear, and focused on a call to action — like “Call now,” “Visit our website,” or “Watch this short video.”

Think of your BILL-BOARD® as a card of action. The goal is to get your prospect to reach out or learn more — not to do all the talking for you.

BILL-BOARD® money cards are designed to fit perfectly in a standard wallet—right where you keep your credit cards. When folded, they slide neatly into a card slot, staying protected and ready to impress whenever you open your wallet.

Because of the unique die-cut shape, exact measurements can vary slightly depending on where they’re taken. At their widest and tallest points, they measure approximately:

• When open: 4.5" wide × 3.2" high

• When folded: 2.5" wide × 3.2" high

• Custom print area*: 3" wide × 2" high

*For reference, the customizable print area for your message is slightly larger than a standard business card.
