Hobby shops, online retailers, and other businesses that resell BCW products can apply for a wholesale account to get great pricing on BCW products and have their order shipped directly from BCW’s Indiana warehouse. Once approved for a wholesale account, customers can sign-in to their bcwsupplies.com account and the pricing and Free Shipping details adjust to wholesale levels.

Achieving Free Shipping is important for retailers, so shipping expenses do not cut into their profits. BCW wholesale orders achieve Free Shipping when the bcwsupplies.com shopping cart reaches $1,000, or $500 of the items designated with a green key symbol.

Introduction to LaserWeld Insert Sleeves for Mini Cards

Posted on by

Standard trading cards are 2 1/2” x 3 1/2”, but cards of smaller sizes exist. In fact, the original trading cards were smaller than this at about 1 5/8″ x 2 3/4″. A major issue facing anyone collecting these “mini” cards is the simple fact that most supplies are designed for cards significantly larger. Everything from boxes, sleeves, binder pages, and card holders are too large for safe use. However, BCW produces LaserWeld Card Insert Sleeves for these smaller cards. A U-shaped pattern is laser-welded into the center of thick polypropylene sleeves, which creates a pocket to center the mini card in a 2½” x 3½” form. The card is placed in the pocket, and then the sleeve can be placed in any standard Magnetic Card Holder, LaserWeld 9-Pocket Page, or other storage solution.
