Custom faces on playing cards can be used for a variety of things – but probably the most beautiful way to use them is to display works of art.
Each face of the cards has a different piece of art from this gallery on it. The print method used to reproduce this deck of casino quality playing cards was a digital method as it was for a small run.
The Pucker Gallery contacted Ad Magic for an idea to celebrate their 40th year anniversary. Ad Magic took photos provided by the gallery and laid out the card deck for them. These decks were then sold in the gallery gift shop in white window boxes displaying a photo of the gallery on the card backs. This job is an example of a creative use of Custom Playing Card Faces.
