Product Description

About the Aluminum Graded Card Protector

Product Overview

We supply aluminium graded card protector cases designed for collectors, trading card retailers, and wholesale distributors who need to store and display PSA and BGS standard graded cards. The case is built from metal with a clip closure and is offered in 3 in, 4 Inch, 5 inch, and 6 Inch sizes, covering the most common graded card formats. A laser-printed, transparent pattern gives the surface a clean look while keeping the card visible. Each unit weighs 0.106 kg and measures ~9 mm in thickness, so the case adds a solid, protective layer around a graded slab without turning the display into a bulky object. The metal body resists flexing and impact better than thin plastic sleeves, which matters when cards are handled at shows, shipped between buyers, or stored in retail displays. Applications include office, party, gift, sport card, game cards, photo card, collectibles, trading cards, card protectors, and playing cards.

What Makes This Product Different

Metal body resists bending and impact

A metal shell holds its shape under handling pressure, unlike flexible sleeves that crease and lose form after repeated use.

Shatterproof UV protection layer

The protector is built to shield graded cards from UV exposure and shattering, which helps preserve card surface and print color over time.

Compatible with PSA and BGS slabs

Sizing is matched to PSA and BGS standard graded cards, so the case fits the two grading formats most traded in the sports and collectibles market.

Four sizes cover common card formats

3 in, 4 Inch, 5 inch, and 6 Inch options let buyers stock one product line across multiple card categories instead of sourcing separate cases.

Laser printed transparent finish

Laser printing adds surface detail and branding space while the transparent pattern keeps the graded card fully readable.

Customization Options

Logo & Branding

Laser printing on the metal surface supports custom logos, patterns, and brand marks for private-label card case lines.

Size Adjustments

Production can be aligned to the existing 3 in, 4 Inch, 5 inch, and 6 Inch formats or adjusted to match a buyer’s graded card dimensions.

Surface Finish

Transparency and laser-printed pattern options can be combined so the card stays visible while the case carries branded detail.

Application-Based Packaging

Cases can be prepared for sport card, game card, photo card, collectible, and playing card programs, with packaging matched to the target retail or gift channel.

Packaging & Shipping

Cases ship from Guangdong, China, with packaging arranged to protect the metal surface and the transparent pattern during transit. Standard export cartons, retail-ready boxes, and display packaging can be discussed according to the sales channel, and the 0.106 kg unit weight keeps parcel and freight costs manageable across larger shipments. Buyers can specify labeling, carton marking, and mixed-size packing when ordering the 3 in, 4 Inch, 5 inch, and 6 Inch options together.
