While I'm stuck in this eternal writing block funk and while my thumb heals up I've been working on other bits and pieces that might be useful and doesn't require me to be able to draw or write. One thing I've been working on is designing ID cards (I had the idea I could use them as a quick and cheap way of introducing new characters).
Then I had the idea, hey, this might be a nice bit of merch! I could offer to sell custom student ID plastic cards with the customer's chosen name, faculty of study and artwork for the photo added to the blank card. So I did some research but so far, I've only found places that will print a minimum batch size of 10 cards. Obviously nobody's going to want 10 copies of the same card so that isn't a great option, also getting 10 cards printed costs 50 quid!
So, does anybody know if you can get plastic cards printed on an individual basis and for less than that? Otherwise I'd have to offer such a thing (if I ever did) on heavy card stock, which just wouldn't be as good.
Also, would this be the sort of thing somebody would actually want, merch wise?
