Standard canasta cards are poker size — 3.5 × 2.5 inches (the classic poker-card dimensions) as listed for the sets.
These canasta decks are typically blue-core paper or cardstock with a plastic coating for a slick, durable finish; some listings also note an air-cushion finish to improve handling.
Typical canasta sets include a revolving card tray, printed score sheets, and game rules; some packages also include an automatic card shuffler.
Many canasta cards have printed point values and visually highlighted wild cards to make scoring and play easier.
Revolving trays are roughly 6.4 × 4.4 × 2.7 inches and are described as clear, sturdy holders that swivel on a turntable base for easy placement and removal of cards.
Age guidance varies by product listing; examples from the available details range widely — from “5 Years and Up” to “12 Years and Up,” “15 Years and Up,” and “18 Years and Up.”
Score pads are described as 5 × 7‑inch sheets printed on quality paper and include scoring fields plus brief scoring instructions as reminders for players.
