Custom Placard Backgrounds
We have the ability to place a customized background on your Golf Cart placards.
Accepted formats: `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp` (checked in that order; first match wins).
Recommended Image Specs
| Attribute | Recommendation |
| Aspect ratio | 11:8.5 (landscape letter) — any other ratio will letterbox with white bars |
| Resolution | 3300 × 2550 px (300 DPI) for crisp print quality |
| Minimum resolution | 1650 × 1275 px (150 DPI) |
| Format | PNG — preferred for logos and graphics; supports transparency |
| File size | Keep under 2 MB; images are served over the network at print time |
| Color mode | RGB |
The image is rendered with `background-size: contain`, meaning it scales to fill the page without cropping while preserving the aspect ratio. Designing the image at exactly 11:8.5 (or 1.294:1) avoids letterboxing.
The Cart Name text overlays the image in the center of the page and is printed in black. Leave the central area reasonably open, or use a subdued/faded design, so the bold assignment name remains legible over the background.
The Wings over Houston logo is printed in the bottom-right corner of every placard (rondel ≈ 25 mm diameter, full logo ≈ 77 mm wide). When designing a background image, keep the bottom-right corner clear — roughly the rightmost 80 mm × 30 mm of the page — so the logo prints cleanly over the background without obscuring important design elements.
