Custom Card Game Printing: Cost and Minimum Order
A 60-card game deck with a 48-page rules booklet, in the common 63 × 88 mm component size or our compact 50 × 90 mm preset (identical price either way), prints at $14.82 a deck from our 12-deck minimum: $177.84 in goods, plus $49.82 insured delivery to the United States, for $227.66 delivered. Priced for the independent tabletop-game designer who needs a real number before a crowdfunding launch or a first retail print run, not a per-card quote with the rules book added afterward.

Why 60 cards and a booklet, not the tarot ladder
This figure prices in two sizes at once: the common card-game component size, 2.5 × 3.5 in (63 × 88 mm, entered as a custom size), and our compact preset, 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm) — both return the identical $14.82 a deck with the booklet included, tested live while building this page. Standard 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm) prices too, and any custom size from 40 × 40 mm to 310 × 470 mm is priced the same way.
60 cards is a working core-set size for an original card game; your own game may run smaller or larger, and the configurator prices whatever count you enter directly — it does not carry the $14.82 figure over to a different card count. The rules booklet is included in this worked example because most card games ship with one; it is a separate configuration you can remove if your rules live on the cards or the box instead, and a build without it costs less.
What is included, and what is not
Included at $14.82 a deck: your artwork printed front and back on 60 component cards, a printed folding box, and a 48-page rules booklet. Not included: any card-back, box or booklet layout design beyond print-ready files — the file specification is on our custom printing page.
Minimum order is 12 sets of your design, in multiples of 12 above that. Made in Ukraine; production starts only after you approve the exact artwork.
How long it takes
15–20 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5–9 business days in transit to the United States by UPS, insured. That is enough runway to plan a crowdfunding fulfilment date around; it is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed delivery date.
