What is custom TCG printing?
Custom TCG printing turns your original trading card game artwork into physical cards, decks and packaged products. QPMN helps game creators and publishers test one deck, launch starter sets and expansions, and fulfill player orders through print-on-demand production. You create the game and build your community; QPMN handles printing, packing and shipping.
Print TCG samples, starter decks & expansions
Test your game before launch, sell your first set without a large print run, and add new cards as your community grows. QPMN brings printing and fulfillment together, so you can spend more time developing the game.
Print one deck for playtesting
Check rules text, card feel and artwork in your hands, not just on screen. With no minimum order on standard TCG products, you can print a sample and refine your game before launch.
Sell starter decks on demand
Launch your starter decks or core set without buying a large batch upfront. Connect your store and QPMN prints, packs and ships orders to your players under your brand.
Alternate art & special cards
Create visual variety with alternate artwork and supported foil treatments. Plan which cards belong in regular gameplay and which are separate collector releases.
Need booster packs for your TCG?
Offer fixed-content or randomized packs alongside your decks. Explore QPMN’s dedicated booster service for pack contents, rarity rules and custom wrappers.

TCG Print on Demand vs. Bulk Printing
| What matters | QPMN Print on Demand | Bulk Print Run |
|---|---|---|
| Order quantity | Start with one standard catalog deck. | Order an agreed batch. Minimum quantities vary by supplier. |
| Inventory commitment | No large stock purchase required. Product and shipping charges apply. | Commit to a batch and arrange storage for unsold stock. |
| Order fulfillment | QPMN prints, packs and ships under your brand through supported store connections. | Arrange fulfillment with the printer, a logistics partner or your own team. |
| Artwork updates | Prepare revised files for future orders. Confirm when changes take effect. | Apply revisions to a later print run. Existing printed stock remains unchanged. |
This compares production models, not every printer’s services. Supplier terms vary. Artwork changes do not affect cards already printed.

Custom TCG printing FAQ
Can QPMN print my own custom TCG?
Yes. TCG stands for trading card game: a collectible game built around a card pool that players use to build decks. QPMN prints your original game artwork as starter decks, core sets, expansion cards and supported collector variants. You provide the artwork, rules and approved card list; QPMN provides production and fulfillment, not game design.
Can I print one custom TCG deck before launching?
Yes. Standard catalog TCG products have no minimum order, so you can order one deck to review print quality, card feel and packaging. Custom sizes, unusual assembly or other non-catalog requirements need a separate production review.
How does TCG print on demand work?
Configure your trading card game product and approve a sample, then order directly or connect a supported store. Connected customer orders are sent to QPMN for production, packing and white-label shipping. You do not need to purchase a large batch of finished games before starting sales.
Do I need to buy stock or ship player orders myself?
Not for the print-on-demand fulfillment model. After you configure a supported store connection and products, QPMN produces, packs and ships the ordered items to customers. You manage the storefront and customer relationship. Product and shipping charges still apply; confirm the payment flow before opening sales.
What card size and deck count are available for TCG printing?
The standard QPMN Custom Trading Card Game deck uses 2.48 × 3.46 inch cards, approximately 63 × 88 mm, with 18–612 cards per deck. Confirm the available card count, stock and packaging combination when configuring your product. Ask about a custom production plan if your game needs a different size.
Can I create foil rare cards and alternate-art editions?
Yes. QPMN offers supported foil treatments for custom TCG cards, including gold, silver and holographic options. Availability depends on the selected product and stock. Review samples for text readability and physical consistency before mixing variants in a playing deck.
Are your trading cards eco-friendly?
We are committed to sustainable printing. We offer specialized eco-friendly cardstock options and implement responsible manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact.
Can my trading card game include randomized booster packs?
Yes. QPMN offers fixed-content and randomized booster products with configurable card selection and rarity rules. Plan the card pool for your game here, then use the dedicated booster-pack service to choose pack composition, randomization and wrapper options.
Can I add expansions or revise my TCG artwork?
You can prepare new card designs for later products or editions without buying a large stock of finished games. Keep release files and card lists clearly labeled. Confirm how revised files apply to future orders, and do not assume an update changes orders already in production.
How much does trading card game printing cost?
The cost depends on card count, stock, finishes, packaging, quantity and shipping. Configure your TCG deck to check the current product price, then include delivery in your release budget. Ask for a tailored quote for non-catalog specifications or assembly.
How long does TCG production and fulfillment take?
General shipping times range from 7 to 12 days. Production and dispatch time are separate. Share your artwork-ready date, order quantities, destinations and required arrival date so the team can plan the schedule for your release.
Does QPMN ship trading card games globally?
Can I connect my Shopify or Etsy store for dropshipping?
Yes, QPMN seamlessly integrates with Shopify, Etsy, and WooCommerce to provide an automated dropship fulfillment solution directly to your customers.
