How much does it cost to make your own conversation cards?

A 52-card conversation deck at our compact 50 x 90 mm size with a printed box is $10.43 a deck from a 12-deck minimum: $125.16 of goods. At our standard 70 x 120 mm size the same deck is $10.64 a deck.

What size should a conversation card be?

Between compact 50 x 90 mm and our standard 70 x 120 mm the price difference at 52 cards is twenty-one cents a deck, so it is a design choice rather than a budget one. The large 89 x 127 mm card that the coaching market treats as standard costs noticeably more: $17.06 a deck for 50 cards.

Can I print a conversation deck that is not 52 cards?

Yes. Any count from 30 to 1,500 cards works, and a different count gives a different price than the 52-card figure above. 30 is the minimum.

Is a box included in the price?

Yes. The $10.43-a-deck figure includes a printed folding box for the deck.

What is the minimum order for custom conversation cards?

12 decks of your design, then multiples of 12 up to 192 per online order. The same minimum applies to every card family we print.

Size moves this price more than card count does

A conversation deck can be printed at very different prices depending on how big the card is. The printed box is included in all three; the first two rows are 52 cards, the large size is priced at 50 cards.

Finished card size	Per deck at 12	Goods at 12
Compact, 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm)	$10.43	$125.16
Standard, 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm)	$10.64	$127.68
Large, 3.5 × 5 in (89 × 127 mm), 50 cards	$17.06	$204.72

The first two rows are within twenty-one cents of each other — so for a conversation deck the choice between compact and our standard tarot size is a design decision, not a budget one. The third row is the large card the coaching and reflection market treats as its own standard, and it costs noticeably more. Our full working of that size is in coaching and reflection card printing.

What happens at twenty-four decks

Twenty-four compact 52-card decks are $142.08 in goods against $125.16 for twelve. Doubling the order adds $16.92, so per deck that is $5.92 against $10.43. If there is any chance you will want a second dozen, order them in the first run.

That is specific to this card count and size at these two quantities. For your own count and size, the order form shows the exact price.

You choose the card count

How many cards is a number you set, and the price follows it: 30 to 1,500, at standard 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm, our tarot size), at compact 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm), or at any custom size from 1.57 × 1.57 in up to 12.2 × 18.5 in (40 × 40 mm to 310 × 470 mm). The smallest deck we print is 30 cards. Each card count has its own price.

What is included, and what is not

Included at $10.43 a deck: your artwork printed front and back on 52 cards, and a printed folding box for the deck. Deck prices here are cards and box, no booklet; the order form adds one if you want it. Not included at that price: layout work, if you need us to design rather than print.

Design work is separate from printing and is charged once: $50 for a printed box layout, $50 for a card back, $150 for a booklet layout. From sixty decks all three are waived, which is a deliberate step rather than an accident of the price list. A deck supplied print-ready against our template never meets the charge at all; the template is on the printing specification page.

Minimum order is 12 decks of your design, then multiples of twelve up to 192 per online order. Made in Ukraine. You keep ownership of your artwork and you set your own retail price.

Lead time and proof

Printing takes 3–4 weeks from the day you approve the digital proof, not from the day you order. After that, insured UPS delivery to the United States takes 5–9 business days. The proof is digital. If you want to hold a deck first, one sample of your own art is $79 plus $19.99 shipping.

No account, no application, no approval, and no resale certificate or company registration is asked for. For a price at a different count or size, the wholesale order page reaches a person who answers within 12 hours.
