• Shelf cards

  Display these in plexi holders wherever you want to convey to your customers how their purchase will become " a gift to the world."

  These 4" x 6" full-colour shelf cards can be printed directly to your colour printer, or burned onto a CD and taken to your local business supply outlet or printer.

  There are 11 MCC projects to choose from in two formats:

  1. One per page (PDF)
     use this format if you only want to print a particular card/s
  2. Three per page (PDF)
     this format saves paper if you want to print all of them or the page combination
