cartón único

English translation: top/head billing

Spanish term or phrase: cartón único
This phrase comes from a contract, which for some reason has been given to me to translate in pieces, so there is no context in this point whatsoever, not even a full sentence. It is a work contract for an actor in a film.

" en primer lugar y en cartón único al 100%."

I think it is referring to where his name will be displayed, but I could be completely wrong on this. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much.

English translation:top/head billing
Explanation:
I included the following example because I think that opening credits is different from cartón unico. I think its more like being the only headliner. No star of equal billing.

Hacer constar en los títulos de crédito iniciales del largometraje y en el propio cartón único la expresión "Con la colaboración del Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales", el nuevo logo “INCAA”, según se dispone en la Resolución 3764/04/INCAA, así como el logotipo definido para el Programa Raices 2006

Explanation:
Checking on Google, this is the clearest impression I get. Perhaps the "al 100%" refers to a "stand-alone mention". I suggest you read my link and wait for further answers from colleagues.
Luck!

"Las películas estudiadas presentan un único cartón, donde aparecen: el título de la película, el nombre de la productora (con carácter de firma) y el orgulloso gallo, emblema de la casa, con la inscripción «trademark» en su base, que aparece, además, por duplicado a izquierda y derecha."
