For many players, the thrill of collecting rare or powerful cards is a major draw. Collectible and trading card games add an extra layer of excitement, as players can build their collections and trade with others.

Card games require strategic thinking, memory, and concentration. Whether you’re calculating odds, planning your next move, or remembering your opponent’s previous plays, card games stimulate the brain and improve cognitive abilities.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the most common playing card size?

A: Poker size (2.5 × 3.5 inches / 63.5 × 88.9 mm) is the global standard. It’s used in the vast majority of card games, casinos, and custom card printing projects. If you’re unsure which size to choose, poker is the safest default.

Q: What is the difference between poker size and bridge size?

A: Both are 3.5 inches tall, but bridge cards are 0.25 inches narrower (2.25″ vs 2.5″). Bridge size was developed for games where players hold large hands and need to fan many cards at once.

Q: Are custom card sizes more expensive?

A: If your dimensions match one of our 17 stocked non-standard die sizes, there’s no additional cost. Fully custom sizes or shapes require a new die to be manufactured, which adds approximately for international offset orders. See our custom shape page for details.

Q: What size sleeves do I need for my cards?

A: Card sleeves are typically 2.5–3.5 mm larger than the card on each dimension. For poker-size and MTG/Pokémon cards, use “standard” sleeves (66 × 91 mm). For Yu-Gi-Oh! and other Japanese-size cards, use “small” or “Japanese size” sleeves (62 × 89 mm). For tarot-sized cards, look for “oversized” or “tarot” sleeves.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom cards?

A: Our minimum order for custom card printing is 500 units. Offset printing delivers the best per-unit cost at higher quantities. View sample pricing or get an instant quote for your specific card size and count.
