Pricing
What it costs
Honest starting prices, in USD. Final pricing depends on quantity, size, finishing, and delivery, so send your project for an exact quote.
The estimator below is for card printing only. Everything else (UV-printed tiles, FDM and resin 3D printing, and custom design) is priced per project, so reach out for a custom quote.
Why we cost a little more
Our per-card price is higher than a big small-run printer's. What you're paying for is time: a few real sets made now, not a spot in someone's queue. A print-ready run of about 120 cards is ready to ship in about two days, and super rush puts yours at the front of the line.
Need 500 or more copies and can wait? A manufacturer will beat our price, and we'll tell you so.

Card design ($40.00 per layout)
How many distinct card layouts you need us to design (leave at 0 if your files are print-ready).
Estimated total
$41.20
- Setup fee$25.00
- Printing (54 cards)$16.20
Need it sooner? Super rush puts your project at the front of the queue for a flat $25. Shipping is added to your invoice (we ship to the US, Canada and Mexico), and a travel fee may apply for meetups far across or outside San Antonio. Cards come with rounded corners. Final pricing depends on files, finishing, and quantity, so send your project for an exact quote.
Estimates assume print-ready files that need no adjustment (when we are not designing the layouts). If any edits are needed, we will always let you know before we start the project.
Packaging
How your order ships
Standard packaging: your cards go in a small 3D-printed protective cover or a small cardboard box, then into a padded envelope.
Bought a case, or have cards that need more protection? We can 3D print a case for shipping. Add a custom 3D-printed box in the estimator above, or ask in your quote.

Per-card pricing assumes print-ready, correctly designed files. Need the cards designed? See Card Design. All cards currently come with rounded corners (square corners not available yet).
Card Design
We design the structure and layout; you provide the content and artwork.
- Card layout design, per side (front or back)$40
- Further iterations$20 / hour, or by project
- Whole deck or projectFlat rate by agreement
A front and a back layout is $80 total, and the layout is a template all your cards share. Want us to manage the content too? Once the layouts are done, we can set up a shared Google Sheet that updates the cards as you fill it in.
Card Boxes & Sleeves
Finish the deck. Custom 3D-printed boxes made in-house, plus sleeves.
- Custom 3D-printed box (deck under 100 cards)$9
- Larger decks (100+ cards)$18 per 100 cards
- Standard sleeves$10 / 100
- Premium matte sleeves (Dragon Shield grade)$15 / 100
Boxes use an adjustable in-house design, so rebranding is quick and bulk orders get better per-unit pricing. Custom artwork prep, if needed, is billed at the design rate.
3D Modeling & Design
Custom models in Shapr3D for printable parts and pieces.
- Modeling$20 / hour
- Project rateBy agreement
- IterationsNegotiable
FDM / Filament 3D Printing
Functional parts, props, and components.
- Material$0.15 / gram
- Setup fee (per part)$5
- Minimum order$10
A rough guide: a 100-gram part runs about $20. Final price depends on material, size, and finishing.
Resin / SLA 3D Printing
High-detail miniatures and small parts, printed in Elegoo tough resin.
- Setup and cleanup$15
- Print time$3 / hour
- Resin and materials (100% solid infill)Estimated, ~$0.10 / gram
Resin is priced by solid volume (no discount for hollowing): a flat $15 setup and cleanup fee, plus $3 per print hour, plus estimated material cost. Final price by quote.
UV Tile Printing
UV-printed board game tiles and components, printed and cut in-house.
- 80 tiles, 1.5 in square, printed both sidesFrom about $160 delivered
- Other sizes, shapes, and quantitiesQuote by project
A tile size needs its own steel-rule cutting die. That is carried on a first order and then reused on every repeat run, so repeats come in lower than the first one. Send the size, art, and quantity and we will quote it.
