Grading Compatibility
Protection solutions sized for PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, and TAG graded slabs. Every design is dimension-mapped to the holder and confirmed on physical samples before volume production.
Slab Compatibility Overview
The five major graded card slab systems we design protection around — with public reference dimensions. Because holders vary between runs, final fit is always confirmed on a physical sample.
| Grading Brand | Slab Type | External Footprint (Reference) | Key Fit Note | Compatible Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA | Standard sealed graded card slab | Approx. 140 × 83 mm (5.5 × 3.25 in) | Industry-standard slab; single-grade label. Most common format. | TPU · Silicone · Acrylic · Metal |
| BGS | Sealed slab with sub-grade label | Approx. 140 × 83 mm (5.5 × 3.25 in) | Sub-grade label sits higher than single-grade holders — fit must account for the label area. | TPU · Silicone · Acrylic · Metal |
| CGC | Trading card sealed holder | Approx. 140 × 83 mm (5.5 × 3.25 in) | Same slab family footprint; sealing structure differs — check the exact holder version. | TPU · Silicone · Acrylic · Metal |
| SGC | Compact sealed holder | Compact profile — smaller than the PSA/BGS/CGC family | Distinctly smaller footprint; PSA-style protectors typically do not fit. Kept as a separate track. | TPU · Silicone · Acrylic |
| TAG | Standard trading card window holder | Standard card window 63.5 × 88.9 mm (2.5 × 3.5 in); outer profile varies by generation | Newer holder family — verify against a physical sample before volume ordering. | TPU · Silicone · Acrylic |
Footnote: Dimensions above are public reference values for comparison. Material availability varies by product line and slab type — confirm on the product page or with our team before ordering. Final fit is validated with physical samples before bulk production.
