I know this is something which probably gets asked all the time on the boards, and a search yielded me too many results to sift through and after reading through many threads I can't find any definitive sources for the information. I would like to create this thread to be the source all tankers can use for every generation of file card, and card back creation.
This sharing ground can help fans of any era of Joe and collect our knowledge in one place. I am aware of the file card generator which is available on JoeCustoms. I just do not like it. I'm looking for something else. The generator doesn't space things correctly or resize fonts. I want free rain in my creative process, to add as little or much as I want too. I am looking for the Joe Peach or Silver (preferably silver) basic File card template with no writing on it if possible. The font I will be using for the writing will be Courier (T1 in bold), I am told American typewriter works well too. For the bold lettering I will use all caps Franklin Gothic. If I could get a jpg, or even a photoshop file that would be great. Links to sources would be useful too. I need this information so I can go to print tomorrow on a custom plaque I am making for a soldier who is retiring. All help is appreciated. It is my hopes this thread gets a sticky to aid people in the future and reduce the redundancy of this question in everybody's lives.

Joecustoms is the only one I know of and have 0 issues with it.

I believe Joecustoms parameters are based on Hama's guidelines Larry Hama's Tips for Writing Filecards - JCWiki

i would still suggest the joecustoms but if you do photoshop at all it wouldn't be hard to edit it to your liking

I did a quick scan of one a peach File Card. I edited out the text and pic best I could. It may need a little bit more tweeking to get it just right. Hope this helps.
