Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does it cost to print custom playing cards?
Prices start as low as $1.05 per deck. The final cost depends on the cardstock, size, packaging, and quantity. Because we operate on a print-on-demand model, a single prototype deck is highly affordable, and the per-unit cost drops significantly for wholesale bulk orders.
Do you offer templates for playing card designs?
Yes, we offer free templates. We provide downloadable templates in PDF formats. These templates clearly mark the safe zone, trim line, and bleed area to ensure your artwork is perfectly print-ready.
Can I print different images on the front and back of every card?
Absolutely. You can customize up to 54 individual card faces and 54 unique card backs if your game design requires it, making it perfect for custom trading card games (TCGs) or flashcards.
What is the best cardstock for a tabletop card game?
We recommend 310gsm Premium Linen or 330gsm Casino Black Core. For professional tabletop games and cardistry, both offer superior durability, 100% opacity, and exceptional snap.
How long does it take to print and ship my deck?
Standard production takes 2 to 5 business days. Shipping times vary based on the destination and the global shipping method selected at checkout.
Is there a setup fee for print-on-demand orders?
No, there are zero setup fees. We do not charge monthly subscription costs or hidden plate fees. You only pay for the playing cards you successfully sell and print.
Do you ship playing cards internationally?
Yes, we provide worldwide shipping. Our automated system calculates international shipping rates in real-time to ensure seamless dropshipping to your global customer base.
Can I customize the tuck box packaging?
Yes, tuck boxes are fully customizable. You can print them in full color, upgrade to custom rigid boxes or plastic cases, and add special finishes like foil stamping to your packaging.
How does the automated Shopify integration work?
Our API connects your store directly to our factory. By installing the QPMN app on your Shopify store, you sync your designs directly to your product listings. When a customer purchases a deck, the order details and shipping information are automatically routed for fulfillment.
