Custom Card Deck Accessories
So, let’s take a quick look at the various types of cards we can make for you. While they each share several similarities — they’re all cards, after all! — they also have their own distinctive features and uses.

Game Cards
You can use game cards on their own or as part of a wider board game package. Think of anything from Magic: The Gathering, to Pokemon, to Uno and Exploding Kittens and you have a good idea of what game cards are. But they can also represent characters in a board game (think, Clue) or powers, actions, penalties, and more, in a range of tabletop and board game applications.

Flash Cards
Typically, teachers and trainers use flash cards in education and training to aid memory and recall, as tests of core ideas or principles, points of departure for role-playing activities, and more. Simple, effective, and infinitely adaptable, anyone with an educational role can benefit from introducing flash cards into their program.

Playing Cards
These are the traditional playing cards commonly used for poker, whist, rummy, and other popular games. They’re also used by stage magicians to perform magic tricks, and sometimes those tricks need the cards to be “gimmicked”—so that some are slightly smaller than others, have two faces, or different color backs, for example.

Holographic Cards
Whether game cards, tarot cards, or other types, printing your card sets on holographic paper can add a stunning three dimensional look to really make your cards stand out. Holographic paper is also colorful and reflective. We can print on it or enhance it further with techniques such as spot UV coating or foil stamping.

Trading Cards
Trading cards are more than just collectibles—they’re a powerful way to tell stories, promote brands, and celebrate unique designs. Whether you’re creating sports trading cards, business promotional cards, gaming cards, or personal collections, our advanced printing techniques and premium materials ensure a stunning result every time.

Scratch Off Cards
Scratch off technology—which involves hiding an area of the card under an overlay of a special covering which the user can scratch off to reveal the printed message, number, image, or code—can be incorporated into games, used as promotional tools, or for gift cards, coupons, and rewards. We’ve have our own special “soft scratch” material which allows you scratch off the surface more easily using just a fingernail.
