Throughout Battles in Time's three year run, the trading cards were always provided inside foil packs as most are, with the only exception being the Adventurer set which was introduced inside clear plastic and instead made use of a double-sided "title card" to illustrate the stand alone set. Throughout the cards' history the packs themselves usually contained 9 cards, 10 if there was a Super Rare or Ultra Rare card inside though some contained 12 cards. The packs containing 12 cards were the joint packs, "Exterminator and Annihilator", and "Ultimate Monsters and Invader", as well as Devastator packs which were attached to the magazines. In total, there were 15 variations of packs produced by GE Fabbri and each of the designs are shown below.
