Engineering oversized sleeve geometry
Cards of 70×120mm proportions behave very differently from poker-sized cards. The greater vertical length acts as a lever when cards are picked up or riffled, creating immense torque on the bottom corners. Light 50-micron sleeves bend and curl along the long edge after ten card draws. We engineer our tarot sleeves with a uniform 100-micron polypropylene wall thickness to ensure the sleeve behaves as a rigid frame, protecting card stock against bending creases.
Longitudinal bowing is another common failure mode in aftermarket large-format protectors. When cheap films cool unevenly during manufacturing, the sleeve curls inward, pinching the card and lifting the corners. We utilize temperature-controlled cooling jigs that hold the film flat until molecular stabilization completes. When you place your cards on the table, they rest dead flat without rocking.
Refusal of loose oversized cuts
Many generic manufacturers market “universal tarot” sleeves measuring 73×125mm. That extra 5mm of vertical slop allows cards to shift inside the protector, collecting dust at the lip and catching on box divider tabs. Our cut tolerance sits within ±0.2 mm. Cards slide in smoothly with gentle finger pressure and stay firmly seated without sliding forward during play.
Desk inspection and batch testing
Before any pack leaves our workshop at 1500 Southwest 1st Avenue in Portland, Oregon, samples from each extrusion batch undergo seam tension pull tests. We verify that the ultrasonic weld resists at least 15 Newtons of lateral force before seam separation occurs. Our counter is staffed from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM daily for direct inspection and deck measurement.

Common purchase objections
Are tarot sleeves hard to shuffle? Because 70×120mm cards are broad, standard riffle shuffling is awkward even with bare hands. Our archival matte back finish allows players to perform smooth corner-to-corner table mash shuffles without edge catches or bent corners.
Who is this not for? If your game uses standard CCG or poker dimensions, do not purchase this item; see our Standard Matte Card Sleeves instead. Tarot sleeves are specifically scaled for large adventure formats.
