Frequently asked questions
What does Inkwattle do?
Inkwattle turns your idea into a finished, premium printed product: designed in Melbourne, made in small runs, one contact from first sketch to delivery. We design and produce custom tarot and oracle decks, photo playing cards, memorial guest books, logo rigid and magnetic gift boxes, corporate keepsake kits, frosted tassel bookmarks, bin stickers, Bible tabs and small-run hardcover books.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order 1 or 1,000; smaller runs cost more per piece.
Where are your products made?
Every product is designed in Melbourne, Australia, and made with our production partner in Xiamen, China.
How long does an order take?
Processing (design approval to dispatch) is 15–20 business days, plus shipping time to your address. Most orders arrive in about 4–6 weeks in total. Rush orders may be possible and are quoted per order.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we ship worldwide, including Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada. Approximate standard transit after production (business days): Australia 6–12, New Zealand 10–16, UK 5–10, US 7–14; express 3–7. Your estimated delivery is confirmed with your order.
Will I pay import duties or taxes?
Possibly. Import duties, taxes and customs fees depend on your country and are the buyer's responsibility. We do not include them in our quotes.
How much does a custom deck or box cost?
Each listing shows a draft starting price or price on request. Your exact price is quoted after you send a custom order request; size, quantity, stock and finishes change it. You can give a budget range.
Can you design it for me, or do I need finished artwork?
Both. You can send print-ready files, or we design it from your idea. Up to 3 design revisions are included.
What premium finishes can I get on a small run?
Options include foil stamping, spot UV, gilded or painted card edges, linen-texture card stock, rigid and magnetic boxes, and cloth-bound hardcovers. Availability depends on the product. [TBC]
Can I print a tarot or oracle deck for Kickstarter or to sell myself?
Yes. We print one proof deck to check colour and feel, then runs sized to your campaign. Deck size, card count, booklet and box are all customisable. [TBC]
Can you combine several products into one kit?
Yes. Boxes, cards, notebooks, stickers and magnets can come from one source and ship together as a custom kit — useful for corporate onboarding, event gifts and product launches.
Do you make memorial and funeral guest books?
Yes. Personalised memorial guest books with name, dates, photo and wording, in hardcover formats. Because processing is 15–20 business days, please order well ahead of the service date; we cannot meet urgent funeral deadlines.
Do you make souvenir bookmarks for conferences, museums or events?
Yes. We designed and produced commemorative frosted tassel bookmarks and souvenir gifts for a major international conference. See the case study.
Do you send free samples?
No, we do not send free samples. Before production we send you a digital proof to approve.
How do I order, and do I pay upfront?
No upfront payment. 1) Send a custom order request with product, quantity, style and reference images. 2) We reply by email with a quote and a design proof (up to 3 free revisions). 3) When you accept, we create a listing reserved for you and you pay through secure Stripe checkout; production starts after payment. Also available on Etsy.
