You can order custom cards for delivery to France from TCGPrintery, with your own artwork printed in Germany. Start with a single card, a small set or a complete deck, and use the French-language shop to explore the available formats.

For a first order, it helps to separate three decisions: what you want to print, the total cost for your delivery address and the time available before you need the cards. This guide brings those decisions together using information checked on 5 November 2026.

Start in the French-language shop

The French homepage has navigation labelled Commander, Qualité and Tutoriels. It also presents the three card formats in French, so you can begin with the dimensions that suit your project.

Your card artwork can contain your own French text, illustrations or photographs. Prepare the wording you want printed in the artwork itself. For a gift, check names and dates carefully. For a game, use consistent terms across the deck and ask someone to read the instructions without your explanation.

A French-language design may need room for accents, longer names or multi-line instructions. Check those details at the physical card size before exporting. A layout that looks spacious on a monitor can feel crowded in your hand.

Choose a format and compare the physical finishes

The three available formats are Standard at 63 × 88 mm, Japanese at 59 × 86 mm and Tarot at 70 × 120 mm. Start with the purpose of the cards: a compact game piece, an illustrated collection or a taller design with more space for artwork and text. Measure any sleeves or holders you intend to use.

Then compare White Core and Black Core stock with the reflective options on the quality page. Its real sample photographs and videos show Holo Foil, Partial Foil, Surge Foil and Galaxy Foil. Think about how the finish works with your design: small instructions need to stay readable, while an illustrated card may benefit from a reflective effect.

For a first sample, choose a representative design with the text size, dark areas and detail you expect in the finished set. Keep a note of the material you order so you can judge the result before preparing a larger collection.

Check the total for delivery to France

The current shipping policy charges €9.90 per order outside Germany, with free shipping when the cards in the order total €50 or more. For a French delivery address, this is a card-value threshold, rather than a minimum number of cards.

For example, a €30 card subtotal plus €9.90 delivery gives a €39.90 total. A €50 card subtotal qualifies for free shipping. These are illustrations of the shipping rule, not quotes for a particular deck. The format, material and quantity determine the card subtotal.

For deliveries within the EU, prices include the VAT of the delivery country. Enter your full address and check the final cart and checkout figures. Use the delivery options for your exact destination rather than assuming that every French postal address has identical arrangements.

Shipping information checked on 5 November 2026. Review the current conditions and your checkout total before ordering.

Allow for production as well as delivery

The stated production window is 3–5 business days after completed payment. EU delivery is listed separately at 4–8 business days. These are separate stages, so the delivery estimate alone does not describe the full time from payment to arrival.

For an event or gift, also leave time to finish the artwork, check a sample if needed and correct any details. Treat your event date as a planning deadline and order with room for adjustments.

Prepare the files and make a final check

Use the print-ready files guide for the dimensions of your chosen format. JPG, PNG, WebP and PDF are supported. Work in RGB, use artwork with enough detail for 300 dpi printing and keep essential text inside the safe area. The designer can add bleed to finished-size artwork and recognises files containing the correct bleed already.

Before adding the deck to your cart, check:

  • Wording: names, accents, dates and repeated game terms.
  • Composition: faces, borders and small text after the imported crop.
  • Both sides: the intended back and its orientation for each card.
  • Quantity: every design and the required copies.
  • Delivery: the recipient, complete French address and final total.
