Tarot Cards vs Oracle Cards
According to New York’s Metropolitan Museum, the earliest known tarot cards date back to 15th-century Italy. However, as the cards were already well developed by then, scholars believe they existed in some form before that time. Originally hand-painted, tarot cards were used both for playing games and for fortune-telling.
Oracle cards are a more recent development, inspired by tarot but not limited to the traditional 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. When designing oracle cards, you have complete freedom to choose the number of cards, their names, and the images according to your own creativity.
The first oracle cards appeared in France in the late 19th century. Unlike tarot cards, oracle cards are never used for games; they are always tools for divination, personal development, or positive affirmations.
Custom Tarot Card Materials
We use a range of high-quality paper and card stock to produce all our custom tarot cards. Black core is the most popular choice as it’s sturdy, has a great feel in the hand, and looks fantastic.
These are the most common paper types we use for tarot cards:
- 310 gsm black core paper
- 300 gsm gloss or matte art paper
- 350 gsm gloss art paper
- Two sheets glued together of 250 gsm, 300 gsm, or 350 gsm C1S paper
Tarot Card Surface Finishes
We offer a variety of finishes for your tarot cards. You can choose either square or rounded corners, though we recommend rounded corners as they’re more aesthetically pleasing and make the cards easier to handle.
Most tarot cards are varnished or laminated on both sides. Our special finishes include:
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.
Standard and Custom Tarot Card Sizes
The standard size for traditional tarot cards is 70 x 121 mm, and this remains the most popular choice. However, if you want something unusual, we can make custom sizes for you—for example, a jumbo size to showcase especially detailed artwork, or an unconventional shape such as the increasingly popular round decks used for Celtic oracle cards.
A standard tarot deck typically contains 78 cards, including both the Major and Minor Arcana. Other oracle decks may have different numbers of cards, depending on the symbolic system they follow.
Tarot Card Packaging
To prepare your finished tarot cards for shipping, we’ll package them in the box of your choice—a tuck-end box, cardboard box, telescope rigid box, or magnetic closure rigid box—before shrink-wrapping the entire package.
We can also print an instructional booklet to accompany your tarot decks. Your booklet can be the same size as your cards, so it fits snugly inside the same box, or it can be larger. In that case, we can design a special insert to hold both the card deck and booklet inside a larger box.
If you prefer, we can package your tarot cards in a simple plastic bag or just shrink-wrap them.
How to Prepare Your Files for Tarot Card Printing
Proper file preparation is essential to ensure your tarot cards print perfectly. Here are some important tips to keep in mind:
Always export your files in PDF format for printing.
Make sure you convert your colour space from RGB to CMYK before exporting
Export images as vectors whenever you can for the best print quality.
If vectors aren't possible, set your image resolution to at least 300 dpi.
If your design includes colours or images that extend to the edge of the finished card, add a 3 mm bleed on all sides to allow for die-cutting.
If you're not exporting artwork as vectors, separate the special finish design (like varnish or foil) and the printable artwork into two distinct layers.
While we recommend laminating your cards to protect them, note that lamination can slightly alter colour appearance.
If you’re working with a professional designer, they should already know how to prepare print-ready files. But if you’re using design software yourself for the first time, here are some vital tips to keep in mind before submitting your files.
Rest assured, our expert team will always manually check all your files before printing. If we spot any issues, we’ll contact you and help you resolve them.
