Custom Card Deck Printing: Every Format, One Configurator

One order form, five worked examples

Each format is priced at its own card count, not from the 78-card tarot ladder. All five use our standard laminated card stock, a printed box, and a 12-deck (or 12-set) minimum.

Prices are per deck at 12 decks, for your own artwork in a printed box. The tarot and card game rows include a printed booklet from your text; switch it off in the order form and the price drops. The trading card, playing card and flashcard rows are cards and box, no booklet; you can add one in the order form. Delivery is extra: for 12 decks in the 30 to 60 card formats, about $50 by UPS Express, 5–9 business days to the US. The order form shows the exact amount before you pay.

Every size in the table above prices at least two ways

Every row above comes in more than one size. Two presets work for any format: standard 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm, our tarot size) and compact 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm). Any custom size from 1.57 × 1.57 in up to 12.2 × 18.5 in (40 × 40 mm to 310 × 470 mm) is priced too, including the classic poker/trading size, 2.5 × 3.5 in (63 × 88 mm). The table shows both prices per deck at 12, compact 50 × 90 mm first.

The poker/trading size (63 × 88 mm) and the compact preset (50 × 90 mm) are priced separately. At 12 decks the 63 × 88 mm size costs 3 to 5 cents more per deck, and from 24 decks it costs far more. Both are priced at once in the order form, with no wait for a quote.

What every format shares

Regardless of format: printing starts only after you approve the exact artwork, orders run in multiples of 12 from a 12-deck (or 12-set) minimum, and everything is made in Ukraine. Printing takes 3–4 weeks after you approve the proof, then 5–9 business days by UPS to the United States, insured. Card count, box and finish are each priced from what you enter in the order form, not assumed from the format's name.

If tarot or oracle is your format, the full price ladder and worked totals are in tarot deck printing cost and MOQ and oracle card deck printing cost.

Start with your card count and the size you actually need, not the format's name. If you already know the count, price it directly on our custom printing page; if you want a person to confirm the number before you commit, start a quote instead.

Common questions

Is there one price ladder for every card format?

No. Our published $15.90-a-deck-at-12 tarot ladder is a 78-card price. Every other format is priced at its own card count: trading and collectible cards at $11.77 a deck (60 cards), playing cards at $10.72 (54 cards), card games at $14.67 (60 cards) and flashcards at $7.45 (30 cards), all at the compact 50 x 90 mm size and the 12-deck minimum; the 63 x 88 mm size is $11.82, $10.77, $14.72 and $7.48. Card games include a printed booklet from your text; the other three are cards and box, no booklet.

What sizes does the order form price instantly?

Two named presets, standard 70 x 120 mm (our tarot size) and compact 50 x 90 mm, plus any custom size from 40 x 40 mm to 310 x 470 mm, entered directly. That custom range includes the classic poker/trading size, 63 x 88 mm, which is priced separately from the compact preset (3 to 5 cents more per deck at 12 decks, far more from 24).

What is the minimum order across all formats?

12 decks (or 12 sets) of your design, in multiples of 12 above that, for every format.

How long does any custom card print run take?

3 to 4 weeks after you approve the proof, then 5 to 9 business days by UPS to the US, insured. Delivery for 12 decks is about $50, shown before you pay.

Where do I start if I don't know my exact card count yet?
