Small-batch tarot & oracle card printing: a practical guide
Quick answer
Inkwattle prints custom tarot and oracle decks with no minimum order — from a single proof deck to a crowdfunding run. Production takes 15–20 business days after you approve your proof, plus shipping, with up to 3 free revisions. Every order is quoted individually within 12–24 hours.
Who small-batch printing suits
Indie deck creators testing a design, practitioners who want a personal deck, Etsy sellers and Kickstarter campaigns that need prototypes before a larger run.
Typical specifications
Tarot decks usually have 78 cards; oracle decks 36–54. A common size is 70 × 120 mm on 300–350 gsm card stock, with matte or gloss lamination. Options include foil, gilded edges, linen texture, a guidebook, and tuck, rigid or magnetic boxes. All specs are confirmed per order.
Preparing your artwork
Supply each card face and the card back at print resolution (300 dpi) with bleed. If you only have an idea, Inkwattle can design or finish the artwork with you. AI-generated visuals are labelled “Concept preview”.
Proofing and revisions
You receive a digital proof first. Up to 3 revisions are free; production starts only after you approve.
Timeline
Allow 15–20 business days for production after proof approval, plus shipping time to your country.
Pricing, GST and duties
Smaller runs cost more per deck, so every order is quoted individually. No GST is charged. Import duties/taxes may apply and are quoted separately.
