- 310 gsm / 114 lb black core paper
- 300 gsm / 110 lb gloss or matte art paper
- 350 gsm / 129 lb gloss art paper

Tarot Card Surface Finishes
We offer several possible finishes for your tarot cards. The corners of your cards may be square or rounded, as you prefer, although we recommend them to be rounded off as it’s more aesthetically pleasing and makes the cards easier to handle. Most tarot cards are varnished or laminated on both sides. Our special finishes include:
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for cards is a competitive 200 sets. But it gets more cost-effective if you order 1,000 units or more, as the price-per-unit goes down against the one-off set up cost of creating the plates for offset printing.
How to Prepare Your Files for Tarot Card Printing
It’s important that you prepare your files correctly to make sure that your tarot cards come out looking great. Here, we share a few important tips.
Export your files in PDF format for printing
Make sure that you change the color space from RGB to CMYK before you export and take care your CYMK color data is the same in each layer
Export images as vectors whenever possible
If you can’t use vectors — if you’re exporting bitmaps from Photoshop, for example — then make sure that you set the image resolution to at least 300 dpi
If you have a design with colors or images which extend all the way to the edge of the finished cards, remember to add a 3 mm “bleed zone” on all sides to allow for die-cutting
If you’re not exporting your artwork as vectors, you must separate the special finish design and the printable artwork into two layers
Remember that post-printing lamination, while we recommend it to protect your cards, can change the appearance of the colors a little
If you’re working with a professional designer to create your files, they should understand what’s needed to make everything “print ready”. But if you’re working with design software yourself for the first time, these are the vital tips to remember before you submit your files. Still, our team of experts will always manually check all your files before we go to press. If we find any issues, we’ll let you know and help you resolve them.
Tarot Card Packaging
To prepare to ship your finished tarot cards, we’ll package them in the box of your choice—a tuck-end box, cardboard box, a telescope rigid box, or a magnetic closure rigid box—before shrink-wrapping the package. We can also print an instructional booklet to accompany your tarot decks. Your booklet may be the same size as your cards, so that it fits snugly inside the same box, or it can be larger, in which case we can design a special insert to carry both the card deck and the booklet inside a larger box. If you’d prefer them packaged in a simple plastic bag, or simply shrink-wrapped, we can do that, too.

Tarot Cards VS. Oracle Cards
According to New York’s Metropolitan Museum, the first known tarot cards date back to 15th-century Italy. But by then the cards were already well-developed, so scholars believe that they existed in some form before that date. From the earliest days, tarot cards—which were originally hand painted—were used both for playing games and for fortune-telling. Oracle cards are a newer development, inspired by the tarot, but not limited to the traditional 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. When you design oracle cards, you’re free to choose the number of cards, the names, and the images according to your own invention. The first oracle cards appeared in France during the late 19th century. Oracle cards are never used for playing games, but always as tools for divination, personal development, or positive affirmations.
