aka MPC This company is getting great reviews. Everyone who has dealt
with them is very pleased at the quality and service & easy
upload interface. Also MPC is only POD offering gilded edge or
holo foil card print option as well as different box options
including Tarot size tins!:) so if you plan printing 50+ decks it's
worth checking as they also offer affordable fulfillment service if
you need to ship your decks worldwide to your costumers/backers for
around 10-12$ per deck!:) Shipping may be an issue as it's not always
traceable but as long as you are paying with paypal you are ok!:)
ETA;

- aka PS affordable, easy upload and fast. Similar to MPC above but
less stock & box options & more other items options. Card
Colors may be less bright than original digital files. UPDATE by
Lucky Card; just to add link for my review for their linen and
plastic stock!:))

Note this was before their stock price rise significantly 2016 same
as MPC that may be sister company?:) compared to US PODs so you may
wish to consider TGC and DTC to be better option for US and
worldwide?:)

quotes here; http://www.ludocards.com/quote.php &
same
page can also generate your required standard or customized card size
& box preset/pdf template but Be Warned; I noticed these pdf
generated card sizes templates may not be accurate as *instruction
pdf say their bleed is 3mm but *instruction button & illustration
say it's 2mm, while most printers use 3mm & after asking print
service to confirm their standard Tarot size card preset in pixel I'm
told it's 898x1488 that fits 76x126mm( 7x12cm printed card +3mm bleed
on each side!:) so simple way of calculating your card img file size
in mm or pixel for this printer is your printed card size(i.e their
standard Tarot preset 70x120mm +6mm on each number=76x126mm or
898x1488px!:) I've asked them to fix this moment I noticed but it
seem they don't plan doing it anytime soon(25dec2018?x,x will update
this post moment it's fixed!X,x until then you can download templates
I've used here; http://fav.me/dd30ioa but print drift is still
possible(like with all printers here!) so avoid borders etc &
I'll be not held responsible for any possible misprint resulting from
these issues!;) Considering this template issue & complicated
file preparation requirement & outdated interface & expensive
drop shipping service, MPC & US printers may be better idea if
you wish to keep it simple & easy!;) on the bright side I noticed
my standard gamecrafter tarot template guidelines are fit & easy
to convert to this ludocard Tarot size!:) so it doesn't require much
to fit your img for these!:)

“GPCC printing company in partnership with one of the top most
leading printer. Based out of Australia. The printing and shipping
happens from China while the 100% handcrafted and lacquered decks are
done in India. Produced 2 (poker) decks till now, both of which
received rave reviews. Bharata Major Arcana tarot will be first tarot
deck by this company. Given current customers are playing card
collectors, quality of printing, card stock etc. is paramount, and
rest assured, I take care of each production print personally. Don't
offer print on demand and minimum print run is 600 decks. Offer any
type of card size as well. Any other question, please feel free to
ask. Regards, Sunish”
