the main constraint seems to be foil booster packs. one option is to sticker them instead of printing on the foil. another is, just don't sell booster packs? booster packs can be virtual-only then players can have a deck printed that they already own the cards?

foil+sticker/label approach: https://printninja.com/printing-resource-center/printing-options/custom-game-printing/packaging-options/booster-pack/

or if foil boosters are too difficult then we could do "deck packs" where a whole deck is a large booster. to get away from foil

or paper boosters
