The Process of Creating Custom Tarot Cards with Suba Factory

1. Designing the Cards
   • Prepare Artwork: You’ll need to have your tarot card designs ready before submitting your order. This includes designing the front and back of each card, typically with a resolution of at least 300 dpi to ensure print quality. Suba Factory will provide specifications regarding image size and file formats (usually JPG, PNG, or PDF).
   • Card Layout: If you’re creating a full tarot deck (78 cards), you’ll need to make sure the 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards are organized. Many designers also include a title, number, and symbols that help communicate the card’s meaning.
   • Card Dimensions: While you can customize your tarot deck size, a typical tarot card size is 2.75″ x 4.75″ (70mm x 120mm). Ensure the artwork fits these dimensions or choose a different size that suits your needs.

1. Submitting the Order
   • File Upload: Once your designs are complete, you’ll upload the artwork files to Suba Factory’s platform. They may offer tools or templates that help you align your cards correctly within the print area.
   • Customization Options: You’ll be able to select options like card stock, finish, and packaging for your tarot deck. You might also be asked to approve a digital proof before production starts, allowing you to check your design for any errors or alignment issues.
2. Production Process
   • Printing: Once you approve your design and make payment, Suba Factory will begin printing your tarot cards. The company uses professional-grade printing techniques, ensuring vibrant colors and durable cards.
   • Card Finish: You can choose from various finishes for your tarot cards, such as:
     • Glossy: Shiny and smooth, offering vibrant color and high contrast.
     • Matte: A softer, non-glare finish that provides a more muted and elegant look.
     • Linen: A popular finish for tarot cards, giving them a textured feel and increased durability.
   • Packaging: Suba Factory also offers custom packaging options for your deck, such as tuck boxes, rigid boxes, or magnetic closure boxes. The packaging can be fully customized with your artwork and branding.
3. Quality Control & Delivery
   • Proofing: Suba Factory typically offers a proofing service, allowing you to see a sample of your tarot card before the full print run begins. This helps ensure that the colors and design are accurate and meet your expectations.
   • Final Print: Once the proof is approved, the full production of your custom tarot deck begins. Production times vary based on the complexity and size of the order, but generally, it takes a few weeks.
   • Shipping: After production, the cards are packed and shipped to you. Shipping times depend on your location and the shipping method you select.
