A practical checklist for card selection, protection, packaging and submission documentation.

Deine Karte Unser Prozess

Preparation protects both the card and the workflowCareful preparation reduces avoidable transport risk and makes the receiving process clearer.Review the card under clean, neutral lighting and avoid unnecessary handling.

Use suitable card protection that keeps the card secure without creating excessive pressure.

Package cards so that they cannot move freely inside the shipment.

Include the required submission information and retain your tracking reference.

Preparation does not change a card’s condition, but it helps preserve the condition that is already present.
