What Size Should Custom Affirmation Cards Be?

Size is the single most-searched question in this category, and most suppliers bury the answer in a size chart instead of just stating it. Here’s what each standard size actually suits:

Size	Dimensions	Best For
Bridge	57 × 88mm	Smaller decks, easier to shuffle one-handed
Poker	63 × 88mm	The most common affirmation card size — pocket-friendly, standard deck feel
Trump	62 × 100mm	A taller, narrower alternative to poker
Traditional Tarot	70 × 120mm	More space for artwork and longer affirmation text
Education/Tall	89 × 146mm	Best for decks with detailed instructions or longer passages

Poker size (63×88mm) is the default choice for most affirmation decks – it’s compact enough to carry, but large enough for a short affirmation and simple artwork to read clearly. Anyone printing affirmation cards with longer text or more detailed illustration should look at the traditional tarot size instead, which gives noticeably more room without becoming unwieldy – the same sizing logic used across our Tarot & Oracle Cards range.

What Card Weight and Finish Options Are Available?

Card weight affects how a deck feels and holds up over repeated use – a genuine quality signal buyers can check before ordering, not just marketing language:

300gsm — a solid, standard weight suitable for most affirmation decks
320–350gsm casino-grade board — the weight used for premium, shuffle-heavy decks that need to hold their snap over years of handling
Linen finish — adds grip and a tactile, premium feel, popular for decks meant to be shuffled often
Matte or gloss lamination — protects the print surface and print vibrancy under repeated handling
Single- or double-sided printing — double-sided is standard for affirmation cards carrying both an image and text

For branded affirmation cards – a genuinely large slice of demand in this category – foil stamping or embossing on the card back or box adds a premium branding touch without changing the card stock itself. Affirmation cards with branding follow the same production process as our Flash Cards range for education/tall-size decks. See our Foil Stamping and Embossing / Debossing pages for how this applies across card and box printing, and Lamination & Varnish for the full finish range.

Custom, Bespoke, or Print-on-Demand - Which Service Do You Need?

These aren’t the same service, and picking the wrong one is the single most common frustration among small card-deck creators – a real, recurring complaint is suppliers advertising “custom printing” with minimums too high for a first-time or small-batch creator to justify.

Custom/bespoke bulk printing — the standard route for an established brand, coach, or retailer ordering hundreds or thousands of decks at the lowest per-unit cost; this covers bespoke affirmation cards and personalised affirmation cards produced to your own artwork
Print on demand affirmation cards UK — decks printed and shipped individually or in small batches as orders come in, suited to creators testing a design or selling direct-to-consumer without holding stock
Low-MOQ custom runs — a middle ground worth asking for directly: a realistic small first order (rather than a blanket high minimum) to test a deck before committing to volume

We quote all three routes honestly based on what you’re actually trying to do, rather than pushing every enquiry toward the highest-volume option.

What Does Custom Affirmation Card Printing Cost in the UK, and How Do You Avoid Misprints?

Cost is driven by card size, weight, finish, and volume – the same drivers as any card printing order, with double-sided printing and lamination adding modestly over a simple single-sided run. Beyond price, two things actually determine whether an order arrives usable:

A physical proof before bulk production — a digital mockup can look sharp on screen and still print inaccurately; a physical sample catches colour, alignment, and card-feel issues a screen proof can’t
Stated trim tolerance — precise die-cutting keeps text and images from shifting off-centre; ask any supplier what their trim tolerance actually is rather than assuming “precision cut” means the same thing everywhere

As a UK manufacturer, we typically turn around custom decks faster than suppliers shipping from overseas, where multi-week sea freight is standard. Every order includes a physical sample, and reorders are matched against the original approved proof rather than re-specified from scratch. For decks that need packaging beyond the cards themselves, our custom tuck box and rigid box options are built to the same dieline as your card size – ask at the quote stage rather than ordering cards and box separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are affirmation cards usually printed at?

Poker size (63×88mm) is most common, with traditional tarot size (70×120mm) used for decks needing more space for text or artwork.

What card weight should I choose?

300gsm suits most decks; 320–350gsm casino-grade board suits premium decks designed for frequent shuffling and long-term use.

What's the difference between custom, bespoke, and print-on-demand?

Custom/bespoke is bulk production at the lowest per-unit cost. Print-on-demand produces decks individually or in small batches as orders come in, better suited to testing a design or low-volume selling.

What's the minimum order quantity?

It depends on size and finish, but we quote realistic low-MOQ runs for first-time creators rather than a high blanket minimum.

Can I get a physical sample before a bulk order?

Yes - every custom order includes a physical sample so colour, alignment, and card feel are checked before full production, not just a digital mockup.
