Custom Playing Cards

Custom playing cards have become a HUGE success over the past few years. There are several reliable companies out there selling custom playing cards. There are a few things to look for when making this purchase. One, where are the cards coming from? Some custom playing card companies purchase overseas giving you a better price, but a way longer wait. The typical lead time for overseas is 30-45 days. If you purchase custom playing cards in the US the price may be a bit higher but they can definitely meet your rush needs being able to deliver customized playing cards within 3-7 days.

The next thing you will need to decide is which type of cards stock you are looking for. There are SEVERAL out there. I would not recommend going any lower than 280GSM personally I do not like to sell anything other than 300GSM I feel it's in the middle it's not too thick or too thin. Most companies will offer either 280, 300 or 320Gsm.

After you have chosen weather you would like your custom playing cards from overseas or the US and have now chosen the card stock you will need to choose the finish. There are several different finishes to choose from. I will list a few but of course there are many more. Linen, plastic coated, 100% plastic, frosted, glossy etc. I would recommend speaking with someone at the company you choose to help decide which finish is the best for your custom playing card use.

When it comes to packaging the options are limitless. The most common would be to customize your own box. This is typically a standard custom playing card tuck box with your own artwork on and around it. Of course there are other options like soft plastic, hard plastic, wood cases, cardboard sliders, tin cans etc. Again the best thing to do it speak with a customer service rep who will help you determine which is the best for you.
