What Would You Like to Create?

From Custom Tarot Cards to Custom Game Cards, we provide premium Tarot Card Printing & Custom Card Game Printing solutions for every type of card project.

CUSTOM TAROT CARDS:

Custom tarot cards consist of 78 cards, standard measurements being 2.75 x 4.75 inches, which is the most common custom tarot cards size. Most of the custom tarot cards are made from 350 gsm art paper, a thick cardstock that provides durability. Custom Tarot cards are designed to be soft to the touch, making them easy to shuffle and handle. They are also easy to store and built for long-lasting use

TWO PIECE BOX

First Impressions Matter—Start with the Box
Your custom tarot deck’s packaging is the first thing people see—and feel. At The Ace Card Company, every box is custom-made to suit your unique vision. We offer a wide range of materials, thicknesses, and finishes to ensure your box not only looks exceptional but also feels premium in hand. You can take a high gloss to a matt finish look for your custom tarot card boxes. We can do spot uv to foil printing on the boxes to give them a premium feel and finish.

For ease of use, please make your box at least 15mm larger than your card dimensions on each side. This extra space allows users to easily remove and replace the full deck.

Our team will guide you through choosing the ideal box size and style to perfectly complement your custom tarot cards.

MAGNETIC BOX

Magnetic boxes are an ideal packaging solution for custom tarot cards, offering both protection and an elegant presentation that enhances the mystical allure of the deck. Designed with embedded magnets for a smooth and secure closure, these boxes ensure the cards stay safe from damage and wear, whether stored at home or carried on the go. The rigid structure of the box provides durability, while the exterior can be customized with artwork, foil stamping, or matte finishes that reflect the unique style and symbolism of the tarot deck inside. This combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal makes magnetic boxes a popular choice among tarot creators and collectors who value both form and function.

TUCK BOX

Standard tuck boxes are a classic and cost-effective packaging option for custom tarot cards, offering a compact and lightweight solution that’s easy to produce and carry. Made from folded cardstock with a tuck-in flap, these boxes are simple yet functional, providing basic protection for the deck while keeping production costs low. Tuck boxes are highly customizable, allowing for full-color printing, unique artwork, and finishes like gloss or matte lamination to showcase the deck’s visual identity. While they may not offer the same durability as rigid or magnetic boxes, tuck boxes are ideal for mass production, indie creators on a budget, or those seeking a traditional, portable option for their tarot decks.

SURFACE FINISHES:

When producing custom tarot cards, choosing the right coatings and finishes is essential not just for protecting the cards, but for enhancing their aesthetic appeal, tactile quality, and overall user experience. Several options are available depending on your deck’s theme, style, and target audience:

Matte Lamination

offers a soft, non-reflective surface that gives the cards a smooth, refined look. It reduces glare, fingerprints, and smudges, making it ideal for decks with delicate or intricate artwork.

Gloss Lamination

provides a shiny, high-gloss surface that amplifies color contrast and visual depth. It’s especially effective for vibrant or high-contrast designs that benefit from a polished, bold appearance.

Soft-Touch Lamination

adds a velvety, luxurious feel to the cards while maintaining a matte appearance. Often used for collector or high-end decks, this finish elevates the sensory experience and adds a touch of sophistication.

Spot UV Coating

It is a clear, glossy layer applied selectively to highlight certain areas of the card, like titles, symbols, or artwork details—creating a contrast against a matte background. It enhances both the visual and tactile impact of the design.

Foil Stamping

Involves applying metallic or holographic foil to specific elements of the card design using heat and pressure. Common foil colors include gold, silver, copper, and holographic rainbow, which add brilliance and a touch of mystique.

Embossing & Debossing

Create raised (embossed) or indented (debossed) patterns on the surface of the card, adding texture and depth. These techniques are often combined with foil stamping to give the artwork a three-dimensional, tactile elegance.

Varnish Coating

It is a lighter, less tactile coating option that can be applied over the full surface or in spots. Matte varnish tones down brightness, while gloss varnish enhances shine, all while offering protection from handling and wear.

Spot UV Coating

It is a clear, glossy layer applied selectively to highlight certain areas of the card, like titles, symbols, or artwork details—creating a contrast against a matte background. It enhances both the visual and tactile impact of the design.

These finishing options allow tarot creators to fully customize their decks, turning them into true works of art. Whether you’re aiming for subtle elegance or bold luxury, the right combination of coatings, foil, and gilding can elevate your tarot deck into a standout, premium product.

BOOKLETS

Booklets are an essential companion for custom tarot cards, offering guidance, interpretations, and insights that enrich the user’s connection with the deck. Typically included inside the packaging, these booklets can range from simple black-and-white folded leaflets to full-color, professionally bound mini-books. Custom tarot booklets often include card meanings, spreads, background lore, and instructions, tailored to the unique symbolism and themes of the deck. They can be formatted in various sizes to fit inside tuck boxes, rigid boxes, or magnetic boxes, with options for gloss or matte finishes, custom illustrations, and personalized writing styles. A well-designed booklet not only enhances the user experience but also adds value and depth to the overall presentation of the tarot deck.

The difference between Tarot Cards, Affirmation Cards & Oracle Cards

Tarot Cards

Tarot cards consist of a 78-card deck divided into Major and Minor Arcana, each with specific symbolism and imagery. Traditionally used for divination, tarot cards offer structured insights into various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal growth. We specialize in custom tarot card printing.

Affirmation Cards

Feature concise, positive statements designed to inspire confidence and a positive mindset. These cards often include uplifting messages like “I am enough” or “I choose joy,” making them ideal for daily motivation and self-empowerment.

Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are similar to tarot cards but are more flexible and intuitive. They don’t follow a standardized structure, allowing for a broader range of themes and interpretations. Oracle decks can be customized to fit various themes or systems, making them a more personal and adaptable tool for guidance.
