Tarot Card Paper Options
Choosing the right cardstock is essential for the durability and look of your custom tarot cards. We offer a range of high-quality papers designed to meet the expectations of both collectors and daily users.
- 350 gsm premium cardstock – A thick, smooth card that balances durability with flexibility, suitable for most tarot applications.
- 310 gsm black core paper – Designed to block light and maintain opacity, ideal for decks used in professional readings.
- 300 gsm premium cardstock – Slightly thinner than 350 gsm, good for larger decks where manageability matters.
These materials offer good ink absorption, vibrant color reproduction, and a professional hand-feel. All paper types can be finished with lamination or varnish for additional protection.
| Paper | Weight | Thickness (mm) | Thickness (pt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Cardstock | 250gsm | 0.225mm | 9pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 300gsm | 0.27mm | 11pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 350gsm | 0.41mm | 16pt |
| Black Core Paper | 310gsm | 0.325mm | 13pt |
Specialty Papers
We also offer unique materials for standout designs:
Holographic paper
Reflects a spectrum of colors from different angles; popular for collectors' editions.
Gold foil cardstock
Adds a metallic gold sheen to the surface for a luxurious look.
Silver foil cardstock
Similar to gold foil but with a polished silver appearance.
Surface Finishes for Tarot Cards
Surface finishing adds visual appeal and extends the life of your custom tarot cards. Most decks are laminated or varnished on both sides. Rounded corners are standard, but we can also produce square corners upon request.
A non-glossy coating on both sides that offers a textured feel.
A glossy coating on both sides with a subtle texture.
A smooth, velvety matte film applied to both sides, offering durable, non-reflective finish.
A shiny film applied to both sides, giving the card a sleek, high-gloss appearance.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic gold foil pressed onto the card for an elegant, eye-catching detail.
Metallic silver foil applied to the card, adding a sleek, reflective accent.
Raised designs for added texture and elegance.
Metallic foil applied to the edges of the card, creating a premium and polished look from every angle.
Printed on holographic paper, which reflects rainbow-like colors when viewed from different angles.
We’ll help you choose a combination of finishes that best complements your design and fits your intended use.
Custom Tarot Card Boxes
A well-designed box protects your cards and enhances presentation. Most custom tarot decks are packed in magnetic rigid boxes, but we offer several styles to match your budget and target market.
Magnetic closure rigid box
A premium rigid box with a magnetic flap that snaps shut, perfect for collector's editions or high-end game sets.
Tuck end box
A lightweight, economical box style with flaps that fold into each end, ideal for smaller decks and retail packaging.
Telescope rigid box
A sturdy two-piece box with a separate lid and base, offering premium protection and presentation.
Shoulder Neck Rigid Box
A premium two-piece box with a raised inner tray (shoulder) for added depth and a sleek, elegant unboxing experience.
Shrink-wrapped decks
Sealed in a tight, clear plastic film for protection during shipping or as a simple retail-ready option.
Booster Packs
If you're releasing collectible card sets, we can produce booster packs with randomized or sequential card assortments.
We’re always happy to discuss new formats or unusual specifications. If you don’t see what you’re looking for above, get in touch. Our team will be glad to help.
Tarot Cards VS. Oracle Cards
While both are used for guidance and reflection, tarot and oracle decks differ significantly in structure and function:
- Tarot decks follow a traditional format of 78 cards divided into Major and Minor Arcana. Each card has established meanings and symbolism.
- Oracle decks are entirely creator-driven in card count, content, and theme, offering flexibility and simplicity.
We print both types with the same attention to quality, detail, and customization.
