Custom Playing Card Printing
At QinPrinting, we can produce the standard 52-card poker deck—54 if you include a pair of promotional cards—each measuring 2.5″ x 3.5″ or custom size and packaged in a traditional tuck-end box. However, our specialty lies in crafting custom-made decks and custom playing card boxes based on your unique designs. These personalized decks are a popular choice for magic trick manufacturers, offer a memorable corporate gift, and serve as distinctive direct-to-market retail products.

Paper Options
We offer two common types of paper for custom playing cards: black core paper and premium cardstock. Each has its own advantages depending on your needs.
Gloss Art Paper
Matte Art Paper
Black Core Paper
Black core paper is specially designed to prevent light from passing through the cards. This ensures that no information is visible from the reverse side, making it the preferred choice for professional poker and other games where fairness is essential. The standard weight we use is:
Premium Cardstock
Premium cardstock is slightly thicker than standard paper, giving your playing cards extra strength and durability. It’s a versatile choice that works well for casual games, educational cards, or collectible decks. The available weights are:

We share a few important tips.
-
Export your files in PDF format for printing
-
Make sure that you change the color space from RGB to CMYK before you export
-
If you’re exporting bitmaps from Photoshop, for example — then make sure that you set the image resolution to 300 dpi
-
If you have a design with colors or images which extend all the way to the edge of the finished sticker, remember to add a 3 mm “bleed zone” to allow for die-cutting
If you’re working with a professional designer to create your files, they should understand what’s needed to make everything “print ready”. But if you’re working with design software yourself for the first time, these are the vital tips to remember before you submit your files. Still, our team of experts will always manually check all your files before we go to press. If we find any issues, we’ll let you know and help you resolve them.
