Archery Club Membership Card Printing
CP Cards have been supplying Archery Club membership cards to UK clubs and organisations for over 30 years.
Every card is printed here in England, no overseas production and delays.
Orders start from just 25 cards, free delivery is included as standard, and we'll email you a photorealistic proof before anything goes to print.
Archery clubs use membership cards primarily as proof of insurance and safety accreditation when accessing a shared range or ground, since many ranges require visible proof of current membership before anyone is permitted to shoot. Clubs often print a member's award or classification level (beginner, improver, or club colours) alongside standard membership details, and some include an emergency contact field on the reverse given the nature of the sport. Junior archers are frequently issued a differently coloured card to help range officers quickly identify who requires closer supervision.

Archery Club Membership Cards printed
Archery club cards tend to be ordered once and then reissued each year with a new date, because the layout barely changes — what changes is who is on the list and what classification they have reached.
We print for target clubs, field clubs and university clubs, from a couple of dozen members upward. Solid PVC, full colour on both sides, free delivery within Great Britain, from 25 cards.
There are archery club membership card examples lower down this page, and the full specification is on our membership card printing page.
What an Archery Club Membership Card Needs to Show
The front of an archery card usually carries the club name and badge, the archer’s name, a membership number and the shooting year. The one field that sets archery apart is classification: beginners’ course completed, improver, club colours, county or regional badge. Range officers and away-shoot organisers genuinely use it, so it is worth giving it room rather than squeezing it into a corner.
Most clubs also show governing-body affiliation on the front, because insurance cover follows from it and any shared or hired ground will want to see proof before anyone is allowed to shoot.
The reverse is where the safety information goes. An emergency contact is close to universal in archery, since a field course can be a long way from the nearest road, and many clubs add the venue address in a form that can be read out to an ambulance dispatcher. A short reminder of the whistle protocol is common too, along with the safety officer’s number. Clubs with a junior section almost always issue juniors a card in a different colour, so a range officer can see at a glance who needs closer supervision without having to read anything.
Why Plastic Beats Laminated Card on an Archery Field
An archery membership card lives in a quiver pocket, a bow case or a tab pouch, and it comes out at every venue the club visits. Field shoots mean a full day outdoors in whatever the weather decides to do. Laminated paper does not cope: the pouch curls, the seal lifts at a corner, and once damp gets behind the film the printing is gone.
Our archery club cards are 760-micron solid PVC — bank card thickness — with the design sealed beneath the surface rather than printed on top of it. It will not crease when it is folded into a back pocket on the shooting line, and it does not fade over a summer of outdoor shoots.
If your club shoots mainly outdoors, the matt finish is worth a thought over the gloss. Matt throws far less glare when a range officer is checking cards in bright sun, and it does not show fingerprints from hands that have been handling a bow all morning.
Extras Archery Clubs Find Useful
Two signature strips is a pattern that suits archery particularly well. One is signed by the archer; the second, labelled alongside, carries the current classification or expiry year written in pen. Because a strip takes an ordinary biro, a member who earns their club colours mid-season can have the card updated on the spot instead of waiting for a reprint. A typical strip is 75mm x 8mm, and although we cannot print onto the strip itself, wording can be printed directly above or below it.
Hole or slot punching is the other one clubs ask for. A 5mm hole punched 6mm in from the edge, or a 15mm x 3mm slot, lets the card hang from a lanyard so it stays visible on the shooting line and at away shoots instead of living in a pocket.
Where a club shoots at a shared or publicly accessible ground, a photoseal is worth considering — it attaches a passport-sized photograph to the card, which is the simplest way to identify someone at a gate when there is no access control system to check against.
Sequential numbering can be printed in any CMYK colour, and matching it to a colour taken from your club badge makes it read as part of the design rather than something added afterwards.
Archery club Membership Card Examples
Two patterns dominate archery club cards. The
first puts the club badge and colours front and centre and keeps the reverse for
range protocol. The second is built around classification, with the award level
given real prominence because that is what gets checked at an away shoot.
Both are shown below, and either can be rebuilt around your club’s badge and
the junior colour split you use.
Get your Quotation Now!
For an archery club, the price moves on quantity, on whether juniors get a
separate card colour, and on how many signature strips you want — most clubs
specify two, one to sign and one to carry classification.
Tell us your membership number and whether you want the junior cards in the same
order, and we will price it as one run, which is normally cheaper than two.

Design Service
Only got a club badge?
Our Design Service takes it from there
for just £29 +vat
Archery clubs usually arrive with a badge, sometimes a county or regional emblem
as well, and a list of what has to fit. We will lay out both sides, place the
classification field where a range officer will actually look for it, and get the
range protocol on the reverse without setting it so small nobody reads it.
Nothing prints until you have approved it.
Artwork Fixing Service
Archery club badges are often heraldic — a shield, a motto scroll, fine line
work — and that is the artwork most likely to give trouble at card size.
Thin lines and small lettering that look crisp on a banner can close up when the
same file is dropped to 25mm across.
We will tell you if that is going to happen, and our artwork fixing service can
redraw or simplify the detail for just £10 +vat, along with
sizing, bleed and colour corrections.
Free Photorealistic Email Proof
To give you complete confidence before we go to print, we’ll email you a
free, high-quality, computer-generated photorealistic proof of your full colour plastic Archery club membership cards.
This realistic mock-up shows how your finished Archery club membership cards will look, so you can check and approve the layout, text and overall design before production begins.
Fast Production Time
Most archery clubs work to two seasons — indoors over winter, outdoors from
spring — and renewals usually land against one of them.
Production is 7 working days from proof
approval, with a 4 working day express option,
and everything is printed here in England.
If your cards need to be in hands before the first outdoor shoot, work back three
weeks from that date and you will never need the express option.
Free Delivery
FREE DELIVERY anywhere in Great Britain, on any
quantity.
Archery clubs rarely have a staffed address to deliver to — grounds are often
shared or hired, and the clubhouse may be a container. Cards therefore go to the
records officer or secretary at home, which is fine: everything is sent in plain
unbranded packaging with no paperwork inside.
If juniors’ cards need to go to a different person from the seniors’,
say so and we will box them separately.
Made in England
The value of printing in England shows up on the
second order.
Club colours on an archery card are usually taken from the badge, and badge colours
are exactly the thing that drifts between suppliers. Because every run comes off
the same press from the same stock, a card printed three years after the first one
still matches it in a quiver pocket.
We keep your artwork, so reissuing is normally just a date change and a new list.
100% Recyclable
A club reissuing annually gets through one card per archer per year. It is not a
large number, but it is a permanent one, and it is worth the cards being
recyclable.
Ours are solid PVC and go through
standard household and commercial recycling.
Laminated paper cards do not: the film is bonded to the card and the two cannot be
separated.
Biodegradable cards are also available
and print identically if you want to go further.
Optional Extras
Three extras earn their place on an archery card beyond the obvious ones.
A punched hole or slot lets the card hang from a lanyard on the
shooting line, which matters at away shoots. A
second signature strip gives a place to pen in a new
classification without reprinting. And a photoseal — a
passport photograph attached to the card — is worth considering for clubs
shooting on publicly accessible ground.
Barcodes,
QR codes and numbering are all available too.
Our vast range of optional extras combined with our competitive prices and fast, friendly service makes us a market leader which keeps our customers returning time after time as well as recommending us.
The majority of cards that we print have a signature strip and also a unique number which is usually sequential however you can supply an Excel document and we can print the details from the document onto the cards so each one has unique details. For example, their name, membership number, expiry date, level of membership etc.

760-micron solid PVC, printed
Full Colour (CMYK)
on both sides at no extra cost, design
sealed beneath the surface.
For a club that shoots outdoors, premium matt
is usually the better finish. It throws no glare when a range officer reads a card
in bright sun, which is precisely the moment the card has to work.
High gloss looks richer indoors and costs the
same, so it comes down to where you shoot most.
Bureau Personalisation Service
Archery clubs take most new members through beginners’ courses, which run a
few times a year rather than continuously. That leaves you either ordering a
handful of cards after every course or holding blanks and writing on them.
Our Bureau Personalisation Service is the
middle road. We print and hold your card stock, and after each course you email us
the names; we print those onto your cards and post them
within 3 working days.
No blank stock to look after, no minimum per course.
A Plastic Card to Approve
There is one thing an emailed proof cannot settle on an archery card, and it is
whether the junior colour is different enough.
A colour that looks clearly distinct on a monitor can be far less obvious as a
printed card seen across a shooting line at twenty metres. Holding the adult and
junior cards side by side is the only real test.
We can print one of each from your artwork and post them to you before committing
to the full run.
Artwork Specifications & Guides
Two points from the artwork guide matter most for an archery club.
Vector artwork wins. If anyone still has the original badge file
as vector artwork, use it — heraldic detail survives scaling, a JPEG does
not.
Leave room for the strips. A signature strip is typically 75mm x
8mm and has to stop 4mm from the edge. Two strips need planning into the layout
rather than being squeezed in afterwards.

How to Order your Membership Cards
At most archery clubs this lands with the records officer, who is already keeping
the classification list that the cards are being printed from.
So it is short: send the badge and the list, tell us the quantity and whether
juniors are a separate colour, approve the emailed proof, and the cards arrive.
We hold your artwork afterwards, so the next year’s reissue is an email with
a new date and an updated list.

Tell us which one and we will start from it rather than from nothing.
Usually that means keeping the structure that works — where classification
sits, how the range protocol is laid out on the reverse — and substituting
your badge, your colours and your own junior colour split. It is all part of the
Design Service.
Archery Club Membership Card FAQs
Can archery club cards show a member's classification or award level?
Yes. Classification — beginner, improver, club colours, county or regional badge — can be printed on the card, or written onto a signature strip in pen so it can be updated as an archer progresses without reprinting.
Can junior archer cards look different from adult cards?
Yes, and most clubs do it. Both sides are printed in full colour as standard, so a different card colour for juniors costs nothing extra and lets a range officer identify them instantly.
Can we include an emergency contact on the card?
Yes. The reverse is full colour at no extra cost, so there is room for an emergency contact, the ground address in a form that can be read to an ambulance dispatcher, and the safety officer's number.
Do archery club cards need to show current insurance status?
Many clubs choose to, because insurance cover follows from governing-body affiliation and shared grounds often ask for proof before anyone shoots. We can print affiliation details and the membership year on the front.
Can we print the whistle commands or range rules on the back?
Yes. A condensed range protocol on the reverse is one of the most common requests we get from archery clubs, and it costs nothing extra since both sides print in full colour.
Can a member's classification be updated without reprinting the card?
Yes, if you specify a signature strip for it. The strip takes an ordinary pen, so a club officer can write in a new classification or expiry year on the spot. Many clubs order two strips — one to sign, one to update.
Can the cards be worn on a lanyard at the shooting line?
Yes. We punch a 5mm hole 6mm in from the edge, or a 15mm x 3mm slot centred on an edge, so the card hangs from a lanyard and stays visible throughout a shoot.
What's the minimum order for archery club cards?
25 cards. That suits a small club ordering for its current members just as well as a county-level club ordering several hundred.
