Reprinting your oracle or tarot deck: a second edition in a small-batch run — Melbourne, Australia
Published 27 October 2026Can I reprint a small first-edition oracle deck without a big factory run?
Yes. Inkwattle makes second editions of oracle and tarot decks in small-batch runs — cards, guidebook and box — with your approval on a proof before production. Decks are designed in Melbourne, Australia, made with our production partner and shipped Australia-wide and worldwide.
What to decide before a second edition
Whether to keep or change the card size, card stock and edge finish (gilded edges, rounded corners); guidebook corrections readers sent after the first edition; tuck box or rigid two-piece box; and the quantity: your pre-orders plus a buffer for shop stock.
How it works
Send your first-edition files and spec. We check bleed, safe areas and colour, and send a digital proof with up to 3 free revisions. Production starts only after you approve the proof, then the decks ship with tracking.
Can I run the reprint as a Kickstarter or pre-order?
Yes. Many creators reprint after a sold-out first edition through a crowdfunding or pre-order campaign. We can make one proof deck to check colour and feel, then a run sized to your backer count.
How do later reprints work?
Approved artwork and specs are kept on file, so a third printing or a restock of the same deck does not start from scratch.
Who it suits
Independent oracle, tarot and affirmation deck creators whose first edition sold out, artists moving from print-on-demand to their own stocked edition, and small publishers who want a better box or finish for the next printing.
