How many trading cards should I order for a first run?

For a first run, start small. A batch of roughly 50 to 250 cards lets you test the design, paper, and finish before you commit to a large print run.

• A small first run helps you catch design or color issues early
• You can adjust artwork, stock, or finish before scaling up
• Per-unit cost drops as quantity increases, so scaling later saves money
• Once you are happy with the sample run, a larger reprint is the economical move
