Customized Playing Cards FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find all the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our custom playing cards. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, feel free to email us.

What are the sizes of the cards?

There are two standard playing card sizes: Bridge and Poker.

Bridge Sized Playing Cards are: 2.25" x 3.5"
Poker Sized Playing Cards are: 2.5" x 3.5"

When creating custom playing cards we recommend that you use poker size playing cards because they have a more professional appeal.

We also offer custom-sized, custom-shaped, and various quality levels of playing cards. Just tell us your needed specifications and we will create it for you.

What are your customized playing cards made out of?

The two main choices of playing cards are the same choices one gets at a grocery store: paper or plastic.

Paper card stock is much more commonly used. A lot of players that have been around for a while prefer paper cards, because that's what they were raised on.

Plastic cards are more durable than paper cards. It's as simple as that. They last a much longer time and their corners do not tend to bend as easily. Many players also believe plastic cards are easier to deal, because most of the best brands, like ours, do not stick together.

We use only the finest quality playing card stock; we manufacture genuine customized playing cards. In order to find the best stock paper, we use sources in the United States, Germany, France, and beyond. Through this process we are able to deliver professional-quality cards and designs at the best possible price for all of our clients.

Can I use these as promotional playing cards?

Absolutely! In fact, there are all sorts of uses for custom playing cards - promotional or otherwise:

Advertising - A company or organization can advertise their product or products with decks of custom playing cards. They can feature their logo and name on the card back, and they can use the face for digitally enhanced photos of any items they wish to market. Text can also be used on the cards, allowing a business to print dates of sales, store locations, or any other pertinent information.

Promotional or Giveaways – Corporate or promotional events are great ways for a company to spread their name. Most companies give away pens or keychains, but promotional playing cards offer a unique and memorable item to spread your company's name.

Party Favors – If you need a wedding favor, anniversary gift, birthday gift, party favor, bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah favor, then you need personalized playing cards. Your memories will be kept and cherished for months and even years.

Games – Do you play a game that requires it's own custom cards? We have have created custom playing card sets with as few as nine cards and as many as 700, none of which necessarily having anything to do with standard playing cards. We will also provide and customize package items that are needed to complete a game set: dice, instructions, play money, etc.

Special Events, Gifts, and More - There is virtually no limit as to the applications and purposes for creating customized playing cards.

Which side is which?

The most common point of confusion with playing cards is which is the "front" side and which is the "back."

The playing card "back" is the common side of the playing card. All images and/or copy are the same on all card backs.

The playing card "face" is the digit-side of the playing card. You may customize one or all 54 cards faces.

Do you only make customized playing cards?

No! We manufacture many types of promotional playing cards, other custom cards, and card-related games.

Tarot, flash and educational cards, games and game boards, game accessories, and custom retail packaging are all available.
