Custom Trading Card Printing: Cost and Minimum Order

A 60-card trading or collectible card set, in the classic 63 × 88 mm trading-card size or our compact 50 × 90 mm preset (identical price either way), prints at $11.82 a deck from our 12-deck minimum — $141.84 in goods, plus $39.67 insured delivery to the United States, for $181.51 delivered. That is a complete run: your artwork on 60 cards plus a printed box, priced by the same live configurator that prices every card format we print, not a quote you wait on.

Why a card count, not a fixed ladder

The figure above prices in two sizes at once: our compact preset, 1.97 × 3.54 in (50 × 90 mm), and the classic trading-card size, 2.5 × 3.5 in (63 × 88 mm), entered as a custom size — both return the identical $11.82 a deck for a 60-card set, tested live while building this page. A third preset, standard 2.76 × 4.72 in (70 × 120 mm, our tarot size), is also available. Any other size from 1.57 × 1.57 in up to 12.2 × 18.5 in (40 × 40 mm to 310 × 470 mm) prices the same way, as a custom entry.

Trading and collectible card sets are not all the same size, so we do not restate a single tarot-sized figure for every one of them. The cards line is priced per card count: a 60-card set is $11.82 a deck, and a different set size — a 30-card starter set or a 120-card expansion — gets its own figure from the same configurator, not the $11.82 above.

What is included, and what is not

Included in the $11.82 a deck: your card artwork printed front and back on 60 cards, and a printed folding box for the set. Not included at this price: a booklet or rules insert (add one if your set needs it — it is a separate configuration, priced on its own), and any card-back or box layout work if you need us to design rather than print supplied files. Print-ready artwork that matches our template carries no extra charge; the file specification is on our custom printing page.

Minimum order is 12 decks (sets) of your design, and new production runs in multiples of 12, the same rule that applies to every format we print. Made in Ukraine, produced only after you approve the exact artwork.

How long it takes

Plan for 15–20 business days of production after you approve the artwork, then 5–9 business days in transit to the United States by UPS, insured. That is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed date; destination and carrier service move the transit window.
