Printing Guidance

Test print

  • One test print is recommended before printing the full set.

  • Test printing is most useful for double-sided cards and size checks.

Paper recommendations

  • A basic print also works, including black-and-white on normal paper, typically 75–120 g.
  • For frequent re-use, thicker paper is recommended across all materials to improve durability, not only for the card decks.

Print service note

  • Card files are print-ready and already include 3 mm bleed for professional printing.
  • Print services may require specific file adaptations.

  • When requirements are unclear, checking with the print service is recommended.

Cutting and handling

  • After cutting, keep each card deck as a separate stack.

  • Rounded corners are optional and can improve durability and handling.

  • Sleeves or lamination can improve durability for frequent use.
