Japanese-size cards and sleeves

Look for Japanese or small sleeves with Yu-Gi-Oh compatibility. Dragon Shield’s Japanese-size sleeve supports cards up to 59 × 86 mm (2.32 × 3.39 in), matching the reference given for Konami’s protectors. Check the supported card size when a listing uses the word mini, which can also name other formats.

Questions

Can Yu-Gi-Oh cards go in standard sleeves?

The reference falls within a standard sleeve’s supported-card limit of 63.5 × 88.9 mm (2.5 × 3.5 in). It is 4.5 × 2.9 mm (0.18 × 0.11 in) smaller than that limit; this compares supported card sizes, not measured sleeve clearance. Choose the Japanese class for the product intended for this smaller format.

How much smaller are Yu-Gi-Oh cards than Pokémon cards?

The listed references differ by 4 × 2 mm (0.16 × 0.08 in). Pokémon’s 63 × 88 mm reference exceeds the Japanese sleeve’s supported size, so the sleeve classes are not interchangeable.

For a custom print, use the printer’s cut and bleed template. The pixel conversion is a trim reference, not a specification for manufacturing branded cards.
