SoloEncapsulation™ is our unique program designed for entrepreneurs who want to start their own card grading business. You grade the cards yourself using your own standards and brand, create custom labels, and send them to us for professional encapsulation. This allows you to launch a grading service with minimal startup costs while leveraging our expertise in secure, high-quality encapsulation.

For custom labels, you provide us with your design specifications and we'll work with you to create labels that match your brand identity. You can choose from our standard label template with your logo, or design a completely custom label. We offer three art label options for custom card makers, allowing you to create a unique look that sets your cards apart.

We accept custom label designs in high-resolution PDF, PNG, or AI (Adobe Illustrator) format. Specific dimension requirements and design guidelines will be provided when you enroll in the SoloEncapsulation™ program. Our team is here to help ensure your labels look perfect.

Currently, submissions are processed through direct communication with our team. Simply contact us at [email protected] to begin your submission. We'll guide you through the entire process and provide all necessary forms and instructions.

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and other secure payment methods. Payment details and options will be discussed when you submit your cards and receive your quote.

Yes, our encapsulation cases are designed with security in mind. Once sealed, the cases cannot be opened without visible evidence of tampering. This protects the card's condition and gives you and future buyers confidence in the card's authenticity.

Our encapsulation cases are made from archival-quality materials designed to protect your cards for a lifetime. The crystal-clear cases are UV-resistant and will not yellow or degrade over time, ensuring your valuable cards remain in pristine condition for generations to come.
