Beyond the Pull: Designing the Ultimate Aesthetic K-pop Collection
If you’ve stepped foot into the world of K-pop, you know that the music is only half the fun. The real thrill? The Photocard (PC) pull. That small piece of cardstock featuring your "bias" is often the most prized possession in a fan's collection.
But as any seasoned collector will tell you, not all photocards are created equal. Whether you are looking to protect your collection or create your own "fan-made" merch, understanding sizes and quality is key.
Understanding the Standard: K-pop Photocard Sizes
While sizes can vary slightly depending on the entertainment agency (SM, HYBE, and JYP often have their own quirks), there is a "Golden Standard" that most collectors follow:
-
Standard Photocard: 54mm x 85mm (roughly the size of a credit card).
-
Japanese Releases: Occasionally slightly wider or taller, but usually fit standard sleeves.
-
Postcards/Mini-Postcards: Usually 100mm x 150mm or 70mm x 100mm.
-
Lucky Draws/POBs (Pre-order Benefits): These typically stick to the 55mm x 85mm format but may be made of thicker PVC material.
Pro Tip: Always measure your cards before buying binders or "toploaders." Even a 1mm difference can be the reason a card doesn't fit!
