Along with [print books](https://support.rpgtrader.com/t/preparing-your-books-for-print/51), **accessories** are a great way to allow your buyers to get the most out of your games.
> ℹ All accessories are printed on-demand by [The Game Crafter](https://www.thegamecrafter.com/) and shipped from their location in Wisconsin, USA.
>
> _If you already sell products on The Game Crafter, you can use the same print files on RPG Trader._

_You can use the [print price calculator](https://rpgtrader.com/print-price-calculator/) to get an estimate of what each accessory would cost to ship to different locations around the world._
# Accessories print templates
You can find templates for all accessory types and size on our Print templates pages here:
> **[Print templates](https://rpgtrader.com/print-templates/)**
>
> Download templates for creating new print-on-demand books and accessories on RPG Trader.
The templates include the relevant bleed, margins, and trim lines for each accessory and can be used as a guide when creating your print files.
Like with books, once you upload files, you will see an interactive print preview with overlays for any bleed, trim, and margins applied to the print:
Game boxes and dice will also have a 3D-rendered preview of what the finished product will look like that can be rotated, with the boxes showing how they open too:

Do the cards have the UV coating, so they could be used with dry-erase markers?

Thanks for asking about this.
We actually have had the option for that in our TGC integration, but we didn’t display the option in the setup interface. We’ve now exposed that option in the UI, so you can have UV coating on any size card to create dry-erasable cards, along with an option to include any number of dry-erase markers along with them (just like with the screens):
The UV coating will always apply to both sides of all cards in the deck.
