What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for trading cards?
Trading cards have a minimum order quantity per design. If your project has multiple designs, each design carries its own minimum.
- The minimum applies per design, not across the whole order.
- Multiple designs each need to meet their own minimum quantity.
- The exact minimum is shown on the product page when you select your options.
- Contact customer support with your number of designs and project details for a custom quote.
If you are printing a set with several artworks, share the design count with support so they can quote the full run accurately.
Trading cards are priced by total quantity rather than by deck or set, so you decide exactly how many cards to print in a single run.
- The minimum order and every available quantity tier appear in the instant price calculator on the Trading Cards product page.
- Choose your size, stock, and finish first, since those selections change which quantities are offered, and the laminate or finish you pick can affect the starting quantity.
- Short runs suit prototypes and limited test sets, so you can trial a set before committing to full distribution.
- Per-card pricing improves as the count goes up, so a larger run lowers your cost per card.
- Ordering a few extra cards is smart if you plan to hand them out at events or restock later.
