In order to get your playing cards printing, you’ll need to configure your order below, letting us know which paper type you’d like us to print your playing card design on.

FAQS
Can I order a non-standard playing card-size deck?
If you’re looking for playing cards in a unique, custom size, you’re in the right place. When it comes to choosing your playing card size, select the ‘custom size’ option and enter your required width and height in mm – our live order calculator will estimate the cost of your order as you add additional finishes.
What is the minimum order quantity for playing cards UK?
There is no minimum order quantity, however there is a minimum order charge. For example, we can print around 150 of one card in the same design for the minimum order charge. If you have multiple cards per deck, use the configurator tool above to enter how many playing cards you have per deck and how many decks you need.
If I order playing card boxes with my playing cards, can they be sent together?
Yes, of course they can! If you’re ordering playing cards and accompanying boxes, we can even tape, build, and add your playing cards to their boxes if you need us to, saving you a lot of work! If you’re interested in this service, get in touch with a member of our team and they’ll advise you further.
How many cards are in each deck?
There is no limit to how many playing cards we can print in each deck. If you’re printing a standard playing card deck, you may expect to print 54 cards per deck, and if you’re printing tarot cards, you’re likely to want 78 cards per deck, but in reality that’s entirely up to you! Simply enter the number of cards you would like per deck along with the total number of decks you require, and we’ll get to work!
Does cards per deck equal one design?
Essentially, one card means one design. If you choose 54 cards per deck, this will equal 54 unique cards per deck, all with their own unique design. Each card can have a unique front and rear design.
How do I use your playing card template?
Our playing card template has been designed to help you correctly set up your playing cards for print. This includes bleed zone, trim line, and our safe zone, ensuring your artwork isn’t going to be affected by any print movement, guillotining, or any other parts of the printing and finishing process. We recommend using Adobe Illustrator to open and edit the template.
