Yes. We can print fully custom CCG cards, token cards, counters, ability cards, and other supporting components for a wide range of collectible card games and tabletop games.
Many of our customers are independent game developers, Kickstarter creators, trading card designers, and hobbyists producing original games, custom expansions, fan-made sets, and prototype decks. Every card in your deck can feature completely unique artwork, game text, abilities, statistics, layouts, and gameplay elements.
Whether you're producing a small prototype to test new mechanics or preparing a retail-ready trading card game for launch, we offer the flexibility, print quality, and expert support to help bring your project to life.
Most CCG cards are printed at the standard trading card size of 64 × 89 mm (2.5 × 3.5 inches). This format is widely used because it's easy to shuffle, fits standard card sleeves, and is compatible with most deck boxes, binders, and tabletop gaming accessories.
However, you're not limited to a standard size. Many of the game developers and publishers we work with choose custom card dimensions to suit their gameplay, artwork, or game mechanics. Larger cards provide more room for detailed illustrations, rules, and abilities, while smaller cards are ideal for token cards, reference cards, status effects, or compact game systems.
If you're still deciding on the best dimensions for your project, our paper size guide can help you compare common card sizes before preparing your artwork.
Choosing the right card stock depends on how your CCG cards will be used. For most trading card games, customers look for a balance of durability, rigidity, print quality, and a smooth shuffle feel. 300gsm silk (14pt) is one of our most popular options, offering vibrant print reproduction and a professional finish that's comparable to many commercially produced trading cards.
For premium collector's editions, limited releases, or retail products, you may prefer a heavier or more specialist card stock. We also offer a range of luxury finishes, including metallic foil, soft-touch lamination, and other premium options to help your cards stand out.
Whether you're producing token cards, prototype decks, or a complete trading card game, we'll help you choose the most suitable material for your project. If you'd like to learn more about the different finishes available, our guide to silk, gloss, or uncoated paper explains how each paper stock affects both the appearance and feel of your printed cards.
Absolutely. Every card in your deck can feature completely unique artwork, names, abilities, statistics, rarity levels, descriptions, layouts, and gameplay mechanics. This flexibility is one of the key advantages of custom CCG printing, allowing you to create a fully original trading card game.
Many of our customers produce large card sets featuring different factions, characters, creatures, items, spells, abilities, and token cards, each with its own unique artwork and game information. As long as your artwork is supplied correctly, we can print fully variable designs throughout the entire deck.
From our experience printing custom trading card games, maintaining a consistent layout, typography, icon placement, colour palette, and card structure helps create a more polished, professional, and enjoyable gameplay experience. This consistency makes cards easier to read, quicker to understand, and more immersive for players while giving your finished game a premium, retail-quality appearance.
Yes. Many game developers choose to print a prototype deck before committing to a larger production run. This is particularly popular for Kickstarter campaigns, playtesting, convention demonstrations, publisher presentations, and independent game launches.
A prototype allows you to evaluate your game's mechanics, card layout, readability, colour accuracy, paper stock, finish, and overall handling before moving into full production. It's also an excellent opportunity to gather feedback from playtesters and identify any improvements to the artwork, typography, or gameplay while changes are still easy to make.
Because there are fixed setup costs involved in printing, small prototype runs have a higher cost per deck than larger production quantities. However, many creators find that testing a physical prototype before launch saves both time and money by helping refine the final product.
Before submitting your artwork, we also recommend reading our guide on print vs screen colours. It explains why colours can appear differently in print and offers practical advice to help your finished CCG cards look exactly as intended.
Absolutely. We regularly work with game developers and publishers producing booster packs, starter decks, expansion sets, faction packs, and other custom trading card game products.
Many CCG projects evolve over time with new card releases, expansion waves, and additional game content. To help maintain a professional appearance, we ensure consistent card sizing, print quality, colours, paper stocks, and finishing options across production runs wherever possible, so every release feels like part of the same game.
To complete your product, we also offer a range of complementary print solutions, including custom printed playing card boxes, packaging, rule booklets, instruction leaflets, product inserts, and promotional materials. Whether you're launching your first prototype or preparing a retail-ready trading card game, we can help you create a polished, professional product that's ready for players.
Yes. We offer a wide range of premium finishing options to help your custom CCG cards stand out, including metallic foil, holographic foil, lamination, and Colorplan and colour core card stocks. These finishes are particularly popular for rare cards, collector's editions, alternate artwork, special promotions, and limited-release sets.
Our metallic foil printing is available in 12 foil colours, including holographic foil. Unlike the transparent holographic films used on some commercially manufactured trading cards, our holographic foil is fully opaque. This creates bold holographic effects that are ideal for logos, card borders, icons, symbols, titles, and other highlighted design elements, delivering a striking premium finish.
We also offer Colorplan and colour core stocks, which feature a coloured core visible around the edge of the card. These premium materials are an excellent way to distinguish different factions, rarity levels, special editions, or premium card types while giving your deck a unique, high-quality appearance.
If you're preparing artwork for foil printing, our guide on how to check your foil printing proof explains how to set up your artwork correctly and avoid common issues before production begins.
Yes. Our custom CCG cards can be produced in standard trading card dimensions, making them compatible with most card sleeves, deck boxes, binders, and other tabletop gaming accessories. This makes them ideal for playtesting, tournaments, casual games, and retail products.
Because collectible card games involve frequent shuffling and handling, choosing the right card stock and finish is essential. We'll help you select the most suitable materials based on how your cards will be used, whether you're creating prototype decks, competitive play sets, or premium collector's editions.
Many game developers also choose smooth finishes to improve shuffling, reduce friction during gameplay, and provide a professional feel that's comparable to commercially produced trading card games.
Yes. Before production begins, our team reviews your supplied artwork to ensure it's ready for print. We check important elements such as bleed, card dimensions, alignment, image resolution, and overall print quality to help achieve the best possible results.
CCG cards often contain much more detail than standard playing cards, including small text, icons, statistics, abilities, and game mechanics. Because of this, careful artwork preparation is essential. One of the most common issues we see is text or symbols that appear clear on screen but become difficult to read once printed at the final card size.
For the best results, we recommend keeping important gameplay information well inside the safe area, using clear, legible fonts, and ensuring all artwork is created at the correct print resolution. If you're unsure whether your files are ready, our guide on how to check your artwork for print explains the most common artwork issues and how to avoid them before production begins.
Production times for custom CCG cards vary depending on your order specifications, including the quantity, paper stock, finishing options, and whether you're supplying print-ready artwork or using our design service.
Once your artwork has been approved, estimated production times are shown in our online calculator before you place your order. Projects featuring premium finishes such as metallic foil, duplexed card stocks, or multiple decks with different card designs may require additional production time due to the specialist processes involved.
From our experience printing custom trading card games, allowing sufficient time to review your artwork before production can help avoid delays. Final adjustments to game mechanics, card layouts, or text are much easier to make before printing begins.
