FAQ’s & Tips

Do you want to print just 1 single custom Card Deck? If so, CardDeckPrinting.com can help you with that! Because of the high upfront costs to print only 1 deck, it is more expensive. 1 deck with 2-3 day production would be $70 + shipping, if you want to add a custom box, it adds $50. Are you wanting to see 1 deck before you place a larger order? The least expensive option would be to order a proof with your initial order. We will send you 1 deck first to look over, and you can make any changes, if needed, before we print your bulk run. It’s less expensive to go this route.

25 is the minimum for a bulk order. We offer discounts at 50, 100, 250, 500 & 1000 decks if you want a lower per deck price.

It takes 1-4 working days for production plus shipping time. We offer several options for shipping including 2-5 day Super Saver, UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS Next Day Air (working days are Monday - Friday). *For international orders we use UPS Expedited shipping which is 2-5 working days and includes customs clearance, but does not include any Import taxes/duty/fees, if any, assessed by your country that you would pay at the time of delivery.

Absolutely, we recommend including that in your design set-up. You can add it to one of your out-facing cards or to your box. We have many people use UPCs.com to purchase inexpensive individual barcodes. You will need one if you plan on selling your deck in stores or on Amazon.

In order for us to print color to the edge or "bleed", you need to include about a .125" or 3mm bleed all the way around your image. If you create your cards in Canva you can go under the "File" tab to "view settings" and select the "show print bleeds" box and it will add bleeds for you. (You will need to adjust your backgrounds to fill the area) Then go to "share" and select "download", click "PDF print", check the "crop marks and bleeds" box as well as the "flatten PDF" box only, and then click download. This will get you the best print ready file. If you use another program, the same aspects will apply, but you will need to locate where the settings are in your program.

Unfortunately we do not offer these services. Because of the high upfront costs to print only 1 deck at a time, it is much more expensive, so we only offer bulk printing. We do keep the minimum order quantity low, at only 25 decks, and our pricing is very affordable.

Our cardstock is certified to the SFI®, PEFC™ and FSC® Chain of Custody standards, contains a minimum 10% recycled content and is fully recyclable. The bags we use for shrink wrap are designed to retain functionality as a commodity plastic for the required service life, but degrade to non-toxic end products in a disposal environment.

It's quite possible! Here's what's happening, screen monitors are RGB (red, blue, green) and backlit to make things appear brighter. And all screens, and printers, are calibrated differently.  Think of when you go to a store and see a bunch of TV's and they all look a little different.  This can cause your images to appear lighter, darker, more or less colorful from screen to screen. Then... when the printing is done, it's in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) and there is no backlighting to make your images appear brighter. Sometimes it's tough to get colors exactly as we want them. SET-UP TIP: if you want more colorful cards I would recommend saving them as RGB even though we convert it to CMYK, RGB colors tend to be a little bit more vivid and CMYK look more natural.
