Yes, we recommend requesting a sample of the card stock and finish to ensure it meets your expectations. Contact your sales representative to arrange a sample.
Standard stock is 310 gsm paper with a smooth finish, suitable for general use. Premium stock is thicker and more durable, often with a coated finish for better handling and longevity.
When ordering custom playing cards, focus on card stock quality and finish. Standard playing cards use 310 gsm paper with a smooth finish. For a more durable feel, consider premium stock. A glossy or matte coating protects against wear and makes shuffling easier. If your deck will see heavy use, like at a casino event or as a travel companion, opt for a thicker stock and a coated finish to extend its life.
Most promotional playing cards are made from paper or plastic-coated paper. All materials are typically BPA-free and non-toxic. The finish affects handling: glossy cards slide easily, while matte offers better grip. For outdoor use or humid environments, plastic cards are more resistant to bending and moisture. Always request a sample to test the feel before placing a bulk order.
Marketing directors use branded playing cards as trade show giveaways that attendees keep. HR directors include them in employee welcome kits or holiday gifts. Safety managers can print safety tips on the cards for a fun training tool. Business owners use them as customer appreciation gifts or at company-sponsored game nights. They also work well for fundraising events and conference swag.
You can customize the card backs with full-color printing, one-color logos, or repeating patterns. Fronts can include your logo or be standard faces. Decoration methods include offset printing for sharp detail and foil stamping for a premium look. For themed decks like Shiplap or Chalkboard, you can add your message on the back or inside the case. Most orders include a free digital proof.
Typical bulk orders start at 100 decks. As quantity increases, per-unit cost drops significantly. For small runs, standard printing is cost-effective. For large orders, consider custom tuck boxes or foil stamping. Wholesale pricing is available for orders over 500 decks. Lead time is usually 10-15 business days after proof approval. Rush service may be available.
One common mistake is choosing a finish that doesn't suit the use case. For example, glossy cards can be slippery for frequent shuffling. Another is ordering too few decks for a large event. Always estimate distribution needs and add 10%. Also, ensure your artwork fits the card size (2.5" x 3.5") with proper bleed. Finally, check the MOQ for custom backs vs. standard backs to avoid surprises.
