Printing the Wallet and Dining Cards
Step-by-step directions for prepping AlphaGalData cards at home or through a print service.
Use these instructions to print durable wallet and dining cards that stay legible when you need them. You can print at home or send the PDFs directly to a local or online print shop.
Gather supplies
- Heavy 80 lb cover stock or pre-scored business card paper for the wallet card.
- 4x6 inch index cards or photo paper for the dining card.
- A sharp paper trimmer or scissors, plus laminating sleeves if you want extra durability.
Print at home
- Download the PDFs below so you can print the original resolution files.
- Set your printer to landscape orientation and 100% scale (no fit-to-page).
- Print a test sheet on plain paper to check alignment before moving to heavier stock.
- Trim along the guides, fold the wallet card, and laminate if desired.
Send to a print service
- Share the PDF with your provider. Mention that the wallet card should stay true credit-card size and the dining card should remain 4x6 inches.
- Ask for matte or satin finishes so you can write on the back.
- Request a few spares so you can stage cards in travel bags and vehicles.

Store a digital copy of each card in a shared family folder so someone else can reprint if you lose yours. Include a note about the date you last updated medications.
