What information should be included on the program card for the summer festival?
A good program card includes the name or theme of the event, the date and location, the schedule with program numbers, and any practical information, such as meal times or a dress code. A clear layout helps guests get their bearings for the day at a glance.
When designing the program card for a summer festival, it’s best to keep the information concise yet comprehensive. Text that’s too long tires the reader, while a program card that’s too sparse leaves guests in the dark. A good rule of thumb is to give each program item its own line, including the time.
What information is typically included on a program card?
- Name, theme, or slogan of the event
- Date, time, and place
- Program numbers in chronological order
- Meals, coffee service, or other refreshments
- Host, chairperson, or emcee
- Potential performers or speakers
- Practical information, such as parking or dress code
What should you leave out?
A program card is neither a brochure nor an invitation. Long descriptive texts, logos from various sources, or excessive illustrations take away from the essential content. Keep the visual design clean and the text concise, so the program card serves its purpose best.
What is the appropriate size and paper type for program cards?
The most common size for summer festival program cards is A5 or smaller, such as A6 or business card size. These fit comfortably in your hand or on a table without taking up too much space. The choice of paper affects how the card feels and looks.
The right size depends on how much content is in the program and whether you want a single-sided or double-sided printout. A long program fits better on an A5-sized card or a folded A4 sheet. For a shorter program, A6 or postcard size is often sufficient.
When it comes to paper, we'll help you find the right material to match the atmosphere of your celebration. We'll explain the characteristics of the different options and recommend the best solution when you place your order.
How much do printed program cards cost?
The price of printed program cards depends on the quantity, size, paper quality, and whether the card is single-sided or double-sided. Generally speaking, a larger order quantity significantly lowers the unit price, so ordering for larger events is cost-effective.
Even for small orders, you can get an affordable solution if you know what you want. The price also depends on whether you need graphic design services or if you already have the materials ready. We offer design services separately, so you can choose exactly the level of support you need.
The best way to find out the price is to request a quote from us. Let us know the size of your event, the number of items you’d like, and your design preferences, and we’ll quickly calculate a price that works for you.
What is the best way to design a program card?
When designing a program card, it’s best to start with the content: write down all the necessary information first, before thinking about the layout. Once the content is ready, it’s easier to choose the right size, font, and color scheme that complement the atmosphere of the celebration.
If you already have a design concept or previous printed materials, it’s a good idea to keep the program card consistent with them. A consistent visual style gives the event a professional look.
Will you do the design yourself, or will you order it from us?
If you have your artwork ready, you can send it to us directly for printing. We accept the most common file formats and provide a free proof for every order before printing, so you can check the final result before the products are completed.
