Custom Tarot Card Printing for Personal Decks
Custom tarot card printing creates illustrated decks for readings, oracle projects, spiritual brands, artists, and retail collections. It exists for designs where the card size, artwork detail, material choice, and finish all shape the handling experience, making the deck feel connected to the practice or product behind it.
Create a Tarot Deck with the Right Feel
Tarot decks often need more visual space than standard playing cards, with stock and finish choices that support illustration, symbolism, and repeated handling. Compare the wider Custom Playing Card Printing range if you are choosing between traditional cards decks, game cards, or custom-sized playing card formats.

Whether you’re producing tarot cards, oracle decks, or other spiritual card collections, selecting the right material helps achieve the ideal balance of durability, shuffle feel, colour reproduction, and long-term performance. Explore our premium card stocks to find the perfect foundation for your custom tarot deck.
What Size Are Tarot Cards?
The standard size for tarot cards and oracle cards is 2.75 x 4.75 inches (70 x 120 mm). This is the most popular format for professional tarot decks, offering plenty of space for detailed artwork, symbolism, and card meanings while remaining comfortable to shuffle and handle.
If you're looking for something different, we also offer fully custom sizes. Simply enter your preferred width and height in our online calculator, and we'll print your tarot cards to your exact specifications. Whether you're creating a compact travel deck or an oversized collector's edition, we can produce a deck tailored to your project.
How Many Tarot Cards Are in a Deck?
A traditional tarot deck contains 78 cards. These are divided into:
- 22 Major Arcana cards, typically numbered from 0 to XXI.
- 56 Minor Arcana cards, arranged into four suits with 14 cards in each suit.
However, your custom tarot deck does not have to follow the traditional 78-card format. At Aura Print, you can choose the exact number of cards you need, whether you're creating a compact tarot deck, an expanded oracle collection, or a completely original card system.
Simply enter the number of cards required per deck, along with the quantity of finished decks, into our online calculator.
What Type of Paper Are Tarot Cards Printed On?
One of the most popular paper stocks for custom tarot card printing is 14pt silk paper. Its smooth satin finish delivers outstanding print quality, vibrant colours, and a professional feel that's similar to traditional playing cards. For added durability, 14pt silk can be enhanced with lamination and is fully compatible with our metallic foil printing process, making it an excellent choice for premium tarot and oracle decks.
At Aura Print, we offer a wide range of premium card stocks to suit different styles, budgets, and creative projects. Whether you're looking for a smooth coated finish, an uncoated tactile stock, a textured paper, or a recycled option, you'll find a material that complements your artwork and brings your custom tarot deck to life.

Are Tarot Cards Collated?
Yes. Every order of custom tarot cards is professionally collated into complete decks before dispatch, so your cards arrive in the correct sequence and are ready for packaging, retail sale, or immediate use.
Your tarot cards will always be collated in the exact order that your artwork files are supplied. Whether you're printing a traditional 78-card tarot deck, a custom oracle deck, or a bespoke card collection with any number of cards, we'll ensure every deck is assembled accurately as part of our production process.
Are Tarot Cards Supplied with Boxes?
Playing card boxes are available as an optional extra and can be fully customized to complement your tarot deck. Because every tarot card project is unique, each custom printed playing card box is produced to your exact deck size and artwork, creating a professional presentation that's perfect for retail, gifting, or crowdfunding campaigns.
You can personalize your box with your own branding and choose from a range of premium finishing options, including soft-touch lamination, gloss or matte lamination, and metallic foil to create a cohesive look that matches your tarot cards.
