Protect your cards optimally with our TCG sleeves
Looking for sleeves to keep your TCG cards in top condition? We have a wide selection of sleeves from top brands like Ultra Pro , Dragon Shield , and GameGenic , available directly from stock. Whether you play, collect, or want to have your cards graded, the right sleeves are essential.
What are sleeves?
Sleeves are plastic covers that fit snugly around a card and serve as the first layer of protection against scratches, dirt, moisture, and wear. They ensure your cards last longer, retain their value, and stay looking their best – essential for any collector or player.
Which sleeves match my cards?
Not all cards are the same size. That's why it's important to choose the right sleeve size. Below you'll find a handy overview of popular TCGs and the sleeve size you need for each:
| TCG | Card size | Recommended sleeve size |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon | 6.3 x 8.8 cm | Max. 63 x 88 mm |
| Magic: The Gathering | 6.3 x 8.8 cm | Max. 63 x 88 mm |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! | 5.9 x 8.6 cm | Max. 59 x 86 mm |
| Digimon | 6.3 x 8.8 cm | Max. 63 x 88 mm |
| Dragon Ball Super | 6.3 x 8.8 cm | Max. 63 x 88 mm |
Note: Always use sleeves that fit your cards properly. A sleeve that's too loose offers less protection, while a sleeve that's too tight can damage your cards.
What types of sleeves are there?
Depending on how you use your cards—playing, storing, or displaying—there are different types of sleeves available. Below, we explain the most common types:
-
Inner Sleeves
Thin sleeves that you place directly on the card, usually as an extra layer before inserting the card into a regular sleeve or binder. Perfect for double protection. -
Regular Sleeves
The standard sleeves you see most often. Available in a variety of colors and designs. Ideal for everyday use and protection while playing. -
Top loaders
A sturdy, flexible hard case that holds one card (often already sleeved). Often used for valuable cards or shipping. -
Sealable Sleeves
Sleeves with a self-adhesive closure at the top. This completely seals the sleeve against dust, dirt, and moisture – ideal for long-term storage or grading. -
Closable Sleeves (with flap)
Features a resealable flap that folds over the card, protecting the top of the card without an adhesive edge. -
Mini Snap Cases
Hard, rigid cases consisting of two parts. These offer maximum protection and are often used for displaying or safely storing rare cards.
Whether you're just starting to collect or have been playing TCG for years, good sleeves are essential for keeping your collection safe and tidy. Browse our selection and choose the sleeve that best suits your cards and your collecting style!
