The short answer: 36 cards at $11.39 a deck
| A 12-deck Lenormand run, 36 cards | Amount (USD) |
|---|---|
| 36 printed cards × 12 decks | $117.48 |
| Printed box × 12 | $19.20 |

The basis: 36 cards a deck at our standard 70 × 120 mm finished size, 350 gsm laminated card and a printed folding box. At twenty-four decks it is $10.17 a deck, $244.08 of goods; at sixty, $8.45 a deck, $507.00.
Why a Lenormand deck is cheaper than a tarot deck
Because it is 42 fewer cards. Our published tarot ladder — $15.90 a deck at twelve — is a price for a 78-card set, and it does not carry across to a shorter deck. Cards are priced by the card, so a 36-card Lenormand is the single biggest saving available in the whole esoteric family: the box costs the same, but there are fewer than half as many cards.
| Deck | Cards | Per deck at 12 | Goods at 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tarot, standard | 78 | $15.90 | $190.80 |
| Oracle example | 44 | $12.75 | $153.00 |
| Lenormand | 36 | $11.39 | $136.68 |
All three rows are the same box and the same card stock. Only the card count changes.
You choose the card count and the size
You enter the card count yourself instead of choosing from a list. Anything from 30 to 1,500 cards is possible, at either of two named sizes — standard 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm, our tarot size) or compact 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm) — or at any custom size between 1.57 × 1.57 in and 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.
Lenormand in practice is not always 36. Grand Tableau variants, added signifier cards and modern expansions push the count to 38, 40 or higher, and each count is priced at its own number rather than rounded up to ours. The compact 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm) preset is worth a look for Lenormand specifically: a 36-card deck at that size is $11.29 a deck, $135.48 for 12 decks, and a smaller card suits a nine-card spread on a small table.
What is included, and what is not
Included at $11.39 a deck: your artwork printed front and back on 36 cards, a printed folding box. This price includes a printed booklet from your text. No booklet? Switch it off in the order form and the price drops. Not included: layout work, if you need us to design rather than print.
A one-off preparation charge applies only where layout work is actually needed: $50 for a printed box layout, $50 for a card back, $150 for a booklet layout. All three are waived from sixty decks, deliberately — sixty is where a deck becomes a stocked line rather than a trial. Print-ready artwork built on our template carries none of it; the template is free and needs no signup, 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, printed only after you approve the proof.
Selling it afterwards
You keep ownership of your artwork, you set your own retail price, and resale carries no territory or channel condition — see resale rights. If you are also stocking finished decks to sell alongside it, the ready-made side of the business is the 24-design tarot wholesale catalogue.
No application stands between you and the print price. It begins at twelve decks, is charged automatically at the normal checkout, and asks for no resale certificate and no company number. If you want the exact figure for a count other than 36 before ordering, the quote form is answered by a person within 12 hours.
Lead time and proof
Printing takes 3–4 weeks from the moment you approve the digital proof, not from the moment you order, and UPS delivery to the United States adds 5–9 business days. Destination and carrier service move the transit half. A ready-stock tarot design ordered alongside it leaves within 1-2 business days of the order and will usually arrive first. One sample of your own art is $79 plus $19.99 shipping.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to print a Lenormand deck?
A 36-card Lenormand deck at our standard 70 x 120 mm size is $11.39 a deck from a 12-deck minimum: $136.68 for 12 decks, printed box included. Delivery for 12 decks to the US is about $50 by UPS Express, 5–9 business days.
- Why is a Lenormand deck cheaper to print than tarot?
It is 42 fewer cards. Cards are priced by the card, so a 36-card deck costs less in cards at 12 decks than a 78-card tarot set, while the printed box costs the same on both. That is the whole difference.
- Can I print a Lenormand deck that is not 36 cards?
Yes. Any count from 30 to 1,500 cards works, and a 38-card or 40-card variant is priced at its own figure rather than at the 36-card number above. The smallest deck we print is 30 cards.
- What sizes can a Lenormand deck be printed at?
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. A 36-card deck at the compact size is $11.29 a deck, $135.48 for 12 decks.
- What is the minimum order?
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.
