We are a couple based in Ireland who love creating beautiful hand-painted binders for the trading card game community. We started this endeavour at the start of 2026, and have been busy ever since!
Yes they are! Every binder is hand-painted from start to finish. Take a look at some of our previous commissions on Instagram.
Our commissions follow four steps:
- Pay the initial deposit and send us your references (online art or official card art).
- We create a digital sketch of the design for your approval.
- Pay the second deposit and we paint your binder.
- Pay the remaining balance and collect at a local league, or we arrange delivery (shipping and tracking costs extra).
We usually agree on a start date before we begin. Once the digital sketch is approved, you can expect your binder to be fully painted within 4 weeks.
Yes we do! Please note that additional shipping fees and import fees may apply.
We use COVRD Binders for all our commissions, which come in black, white, steel blue, and blush pink. All our commissions include the cost of a new binder. Colour selection is subject to availability. Please allow for a longer turnaround time if you are to request a specific colour outside the four listed.
Yes! This is currently only available in the Dublin area. As long as your binder is made of a paintable material, we're happy to use it, and you'll get a discount on the commission price. Need a binder? Use code BRACKLE10 for 10% off your order at COVRD.
After painting, we apply a protective varnish to the binder to ensure it lasts. This makes the binder resistant to scratches and fading, but it's still recommended to handle it with care.
Most likely! We're open to designs from any TCG, so send us your idea through our interest form here.
