Window cards were displayed in locations OUTSIDE of the theatre. They were printed on a heavier, cheaper card stock. They were placed in the windows of stores, barber shops. beauty salons, doctor and dental offices, bakeries, on telephone poles, etc. in and around a community. Since they were distributed in large numbers, theatres would normally purchase them in bulk. Because so many more window cards were needed, they were printed using a cheaper process. Thus, window cards lack the color, detail and splendor of other sizes of movie art. This is particularly true of the window cards produced by the independent printers.

There are three basic sizes of window cards:

STANDARD

14" x 22"

MIDGET

8" x 14"

JUMBO

22" x 28" (vertical)

The artwork on the window cards released by movie studios and/or the NSS may or may not be the same as that of the one-sheet. They are normally printed in full color, but lack the detail, color and artwork found on other size posters. The standard window cards have a top blank border of approximately 4" to 6" inches. This border was used by the theatre to write in the dates and show times of the featured film. Sometimes the theatres would staple paper banners with the theatre's name in this blank area. Midget window cards also have a border on the top. Jumbo window cards do not.
