OEM / ODM playing card manufacturing
Create a premium 89 × 62 mm poker deck on 310gsm German black-core stock, with double-sided CMYK printing, fully custom illustrations, a linen finish and reflective silver-gilded edges. The single-deck reference is packed in a fully printed burgundy tuck box with white borders, feather details and rose elements.
Product overview
The silver-colored edge finish creates a clean, reflective metallic band around the stacked deck. The linen finish adds a tactile surface to the fully illustrated cards. This 89 × 62 mm reference is printed in full-color CMYK on both sides of 310gsm German black-core stock. Its packaging uses a fully custom burgundy tuck box with white borders, feather details and rose elements, creating one coordinated visual system from the cards to the box.
Coordinate the card faces, card backs, silver edge and box artwork so the product reads as a single branded collection from shelf presentation to gameplay.
Card count, finished dimensions, stock, finish, foil color, packaging, quantity and delivery destination are reviewed together before the quotation and proofing stage.
Silver is shown here; gold, copper and rose-gold edge foils may also be quoted. Surface treatments and box upgrades are selected to suit the artwork and intended market.
The format suits private-label playing cards, branded gifts, event merchandise, retail decks and original card-game launches that require a polished unboxing experience.
