One pack. Multiple ways to explore it.

How Can I Print Them?

Designed Around a 2:3 Master Format

GMS Card Forge cards are created using a 1024 × 1536 pixel / 2:3 master format, allowing the artwork to scale proportionally into different physical sizes.

Recommended standard:

2.5 × 3.5 inches
63.5 × 88.9 mm

This is the recommended size for experiencing the complete educational content of the card, particularly the detailed information presented on the back.

You can also scale the cards proportionally for smaller or larger applications.

QUESTION 4 — What Printable Formats Can I Use?

QUESTION 5 — Can I Print Them as Trading Cards?

Yes.

The 2.5 × 3.5-inch format is the recommended standard for physical GMS Card Forge trading cards.

Printed cards can be:

• Placed into trading-card sleeves

• Stored in collectible binders

• Kept in card storage boxes

• Displayed individually

• Arranged as complete collections

• Used as physical educational resources

Standard Forge Format

2.5 × 3.5 inches / 63.5 × 88.9 mm

Front + Back → One complete educational card.

QUESTION 6 — How Do I Use the Cards After Printing?

COLLECT

Build complete themed collections and series.

LEARN

Explore facts, explanations, comparisons and scientific concepts on the card backs.

TEACH

Use cards as supplementary educational resources and discussion materials.

DISPLAY

Show individual cards, selected favourites or complete collections.

EXPLORE

Use cards as prompts for quizzes, identification activities, discussions and subject exploration.

ARCHIVE

Store cards in sleeves, binders, boxes or other collection systems.

One card can become part of a much larger learning collection.

QUESTION 7 — Can I Print Them Smaller?

Yes — but there is a trade-off.

Because GMS Card Forge uses a proportional 2:3 format, the cards can be scaled down while maintaining the same overall design.

However:

Smaller physical size means smaller text.

The artwork can remain visually effective at smaller sizes, but the detailed educational information on the back becomes progressively harder to read.

GMS Practical Readability Guide

2.5 × 3.5" — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Full educational reading experience.

2 × 3" — ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good compact format with reduced text size.

1.75 × 2.625" — ⭐⭐⭐
Suitable for compact collecting; detailed reading becomes more demanding.

1.5 × 2.25" — ⭐⭐
Primarily suited to visual collecting and display.

Small-Format Disclaimer

Smaller formats remain printable, but readability decreases as physical size decreases. For the complete educational experience, GMS recommends the standard 2.5 × 3.5-inch format.
