Therapy Card Deck Printing: Cost and Minimum Order

The short answer: 50 cards, $210.45 delivered to the US

A printing service is all this page describes: count, size, box, booklet and the order process. It makes no claim about method, outcome or practice, and it does not supply the content. What is printed on the cards, and what it is for, are entirely yours.

Nothing here is a clinical claim, a therapeutic outcome or a statement about what a card deck does in a session. We print cards.

With the booklet, or without

This is the decision that moves the price most on a therapy deck, because the booklet is where the practitioner guidance usually lives.

Three dollars a deck for 48 printed pages is usually the cheapest way to add instructions that stay with the deck instead of being lost as a PDF. The booklet is laid out on the same canvas as a card, which means a paragraph that looks short in a word processor is not always short on the page — the page geometry is below.

Our card size against the larger one this market often uses

Many published therapy and reflection decks use a noticeably larger card, 3.5 × 5 in (89 × 127 mm), because an adult holds it at arm's length across a table. That card size roughly doubles the price: 50 cards with a booklet at 89 × 127 mm is $20.11 a deck, $241.32 of goods, read live on the same day as everything else on this page. Our own 70 × 120 mm standard is $13.40. Neither is more correct; the larger card is a legibility and presence decision, and it costs about seven dollars a deck. The larger size is worked through in coaching and reflection card printing.

Card count and size are both fields

Both the count and the size are fields rather than fixed options. Any count from 30 to 1,500 cards prices live, 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 between 1.57 × 1.57 in and 12.2 × 18.5 in (40 × 40 mm and 310 × 470 mm). Thirty is the floor and a twelve-card deck is refused. Each count returns its own figure, so the 78-card tarot price is never carried across to a shorter deck.

Therapy decks are rarely a round number. Emotion-card sets run to 60 or 70, a short practice deck may be 30, and a two-part deck with prompts and images can be higher again. Each prices at its own count.

What is included, and what is not

Included at $13.40 a deck: your artwork and text printed front and back on 50 cards, a printed folding box, and a 48-page booklet. The card is 350 gsm laminated with a hidden black core — relevant here because a card that is handed across a table and turned over repeatedly should not show its face through its back. Not included: layout or design work.

There is one preparation charge, and only where layout is needed rather than printing: $50 for a printed box layout, $50 for a card back, $150 for a booklet layout — the last of which matters most here, since the booklet is usually where the practitioner notes live. All three are waived from sixty decks, on purpose. Print-ready files against our template avoid them entirely; the template is free on the printing specification page.

Minimum order is 12 decks, then multiples of twelve up to 192 per online order. Made in Ukraine. You keep ownership of your artwork and your text, and we do not license, resell or train on it — see artwork rights and proof approval.

Lead time and proof

The proof comes first and everything is counted from it: 15–20 business days of production once you approve the digital proof, then 5–9 business days of insured UPS transit to the United States. Treat both as planning estimates rather than guaranteed dates. Nothing is printed before your approval, which matters most on a deck whose text you are still editing. Physical printed samples are not offered at present.

You do not apply for trade pricing here, and there is nobody to be approved by. From twelve decks the checkout charges the trade price, with no resale certificate and no company number involved. For a deck with an unusual count, or a two-part set of prompts and images, the quote form is answered by a person within 24 hours on business days.

Common questions

How much does it cost to print a therapy card deck?

A 50-card deck at our standard 70 x 120 mm size with a printed box and a 48-page booklet is $13.40 a deck from a 12-deck minimum: $160.80 of goods plus $49.65 insured delivery, $210.45 delivered to a US address. Cards and box only, without the booklet, is $10.40 a deck, $164.30 delivered. Read live on 24 September 2026.

What size are therapy and counselling cards usually printed at?

Many published decks use 89 x 127 mm, a noticeably larger card meant to be read across a table. That size costs about seven dollars a deck more: 50 cards with a booklet is $20.11 a deck against $13.40 at our standard 70 x 120 mm. Both price live in the same configurator.

Can I include a practitioner booklet with the deck?

Yes. A 48-page booklet adds $3.00 a deck at 12 decks - $13.40 with it against $10.40 without. It is laid out on the same canvas as a card, so text usually needs editing to the page rather than the page being stretched to the text.

Can I print a deck that is not 50 cards?

Yes. The configurator prices any count from 30 to 1,500 cards, so a 30-card practice deck or a 70-card emotion set prices at its own figure rather than at the 50-card number above. A 12-card deck is refused.

Do you make any claim about what these cards do?

No. This is a printing service. We print the cards and the booklet you supply; the content, the method and any claim attached to it are entirely yours, and nothing on this page is a clinical or therapeutic statement.
