Your artwork, our press
Custom tarot cards, printed to your own artwork from twelve decks.
Custom tarot cards here are a real print run, not a one-off copy. A complete 78-card deck with a printed box and a 48-page booklet is $15.90 a deck at twelve decks: $190.80 of goods plus $36.00 of insured delivery, $226.80 delivered to a US address, falling to $10.90 a deck at 192. You send print-ready artwork, approve a digital proof, and the run is made in Ukraine.
Price your exact deck on the printing configurator: card count from 30 to 1,500, two stock sizes or your own, box and booklet on or off. These are current prices.
What custom tarot cards cost here
A complete custom tarot deck here is 78 cards at 70×120 mm (2.76 × 4.72 in), a printed tuck box and a 48-page booklet, printed from your own artwork. The smallest order is twelve decks, and orders run in multiples of twelve up to 192 in one run.
| Decks in the order | Per 78-card deck | Goods total | Delivered to a US address |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 — the minimum | $15.90 | $190.80 | $226.80 |
| 24 | $14.90 | $357.60 | $429.60 |
| 48 | $12.90 | $619.20 | $763.20 |
| 96 | $11.90 | $1,142.40 | $1,430.40 |
| 192 — the largest single run | $10.90 | $2,092.80 | $2,668.80 |
One ladder, the same whether you are printing your own artwork, taking one of our made-to-order designs or buying finished stock. Insured delivery is quoted separately by destination and sits outside the deck price: twelve decks to a United States address is $36.00 of delivery on top of $190.80 of goods, so $226.80 delivered — $18.90 a deck, all in. Every figure on this page is our current price.
Leaving the booklet out lowers the deck: 78 cards with the printed box and no booklet is $13.00 a deck at twelve, $156.00 of goods, $192.00 delivered to the US. Nothing else changes: same card stock, same box, same proof.
When we say a custom tarot card deck, that is the whole object and not a part of one: the 78 printed cards, the printed box they sit in, and the booklet, quoted as one line.
Card counts, sizes and the artwork you send
The card count is a field, not a fixed product. The configurator prices any deck from 30 to 1,500 cards, so a 78-card tarot, a 44-card oracle, a 36-card Lenormand and a padded major-arcana set are all the same route with different numbers in it. Two stock sizes are priced instantly:
| Size | Finished card | In inches | What it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 70 × 120 mm | 2.76 × 4.72 in | Tarot, oracle, Lenormand |
| Compact | 50 × 90 mm | 1.97 × 3.54 in | Playing-card and game formats |
| Custom | Your own dimensions | Priced on the same route | Large affirmation and coaching cards |
To make your own tarot cards you send print-ready files, not sketches. Each card is supplied on a canvas 4 mm larger than the finished card on both dimensions, 74×124 mm for the standard size, which gives 2 mm of bleed on every flat side, with a 4 mm safe area inside the trim where nothing important sits. Artwork goes in at 300 DPI. A 78-card deck arrives as a single card PDF of exactly 156 pages: pages 1 to 78 the faces, pages 79 to 156 the backs. The full template pack, with the box panel maps and the booklet geometry, is on the print specification page.
You can design your own tarot deck to any brief you like. There is no house style to fit, no watermark and no approval of your imagery. What we do not have is an online editor: this is a press with a proof step, not a drag-and-drop card builder.
The printed box and the 48-page booklet
Both are real printed objects, not add-ons dressed up as features. The standard tuck box is printed on all panels from your own artwork. The booklet is 48 pages, page 1 the front cover and page 48 the back cover, which is enough for 78 card meanings written short or fewer written long.
Laying out those pieces is a service, and it is priced openly: $50.00 to lay out the box, $50.00 to lay out a shared card back, $150.00 to lay out the booklet. All three are free from 60 decks in one order. If you supply the files yourself, none of them applies at any quantity.
Proof, lead time and where the cards are made
The order of work never changes. You upload the artwork, we produce a digital proof, you approve it in writing, and only then does the run start. Production is 15 to 20 business days after proof approval. Insured UPS transit to a United States address is a further 5 to 9 business days. Neither is a guaranteed date; both are the windows we plan against.
The cards are made in Ukraine. Part of our own finished catalogue is held on the United States side and ships domestically, which matters if you also want ready-made decks on the same account, but anything printed to your artwork is a new run and travels from the factory.
Send a question in writing and you have an answer inside 24 hours on a business day.
Custom tarot cards against print on demand
Search for print on demand tarot cards and you will find services that print a single deck when a customer buys it. That is a different business from this one, and it is worth being plain about which one you need.
| Print on demand | A run of twelve here | |
|---|---|---|
| Smallest order | One deck | Twelve decks |
| Price a deck | Highest per unit, no volume relief | $15.90 at 12, $10.90 at 192 |
| Box and booklet | Often unavailable or charged extra | Printed tuck box; 48-page booklet priced in |
| Who holds the stock | Nobody, it is printed on the order | You do, and you set the shelf price |
| Proof before printing | Usually none | Digital proof, approved by you |
If you need one deck for yourself, print on demand is the right answer and we are not it. If you are putting a deck on a shelf, into a shop or onto your own store, twelve is the point where a real print run becomes cheaper than paying a per-copy premium forever. The longer comparison is in batch production against print on demand.
How to order
Price the exact deck you have in mind on the custom printing page: card count, size, box, booklet, quantity. The figure it returns is the figure we invoice. If you would rather have the delivered total for your own address confirmed in writing first, the quote form is answered within 24 hours on business days. Finished designs on the same trade ladder are in the wholesale catalogue, and the trade terms are on the order terms page.
Common questions
- How much do custom tarot cards cost?
$15.90 a deck for a complete 78-card deck with a printed box and a 48-page booklet, at the twelve-deck minimum. That is $190.80 of goods, plus $36.00 of insured delivery to a United States address, so $226.80 delivered. The per-deck price falls to $14.90 at 24, $12.90 at 48, $11.90 at 96 and $10.90 at 192. That is our current price.
- Are you allowed to make your own tarot cards?
Yes. Tarot imagery in general is not owned by anybody, there is no licence or guild to join, and printing a deck of your own artwork breaks no rule of ours. What you send us stays yours: we take no rights in your designs, we put no watermark or logo of ours on the cards or the box, and we do not reuse your files. The one thing you have to own is the artwork itself, so a deck traced from a copyrighted modern deck is your problem, not a printing question.
- What is the minimum order for a custom tarot deck?
Twelve decks, and orders run in multiples of twelve up to 192 in a single run. There is no application and no trade account to open: twelve is simply where the price ladder starts.
- Can I make my own tarot cards with my own artwork?
Yes, and the artwork stays yours. You supply print-ready files: each card on a canvas 4 mm larger than the finished card, 2 mm of bleed on every side, 300 DPI, and a 78-card deck as one 156-page PDF with the faces first and the backs second. We print exactly what you approve on the proof.
- Do you have an online tarot card designer?
No. There is no drag-and-drop editor here. You send finished files and we send back a digital proof to approve before the run starts. If you need the layout done for you, laying out the box is $50.00, a shared card back $50.00 and the booklet $150.00, and all three are free from 60 decks.
- How long does a custom tarot deck take?
15 to 20 business days of production after you approve the digital proof, then 5 to 9 business days of insured UPS transit to a United States address. Both are planning estimates rather than guaranteed dates.
- Where are the cards printed?
In Ukraine. Part of our own finished catalogue is additionally held on the United States side and ships domestically, but anything printed to your own artwork is a new run and travels from the factory.
