Promotional playing cards for business use are the most varied of all the playing cards we manufacture. Some people use them as catalogs – some use them to call attention to their brands – some use them for trade show giveaways and some companies use them as business cards.  All of them have one thing in common – their logo or their current ad always appears on the common backs of the cards.  Some of the brands we have manufactured customized playing cardsfor are:  Applebees, BMX, We Buy Ugly Houses, Red Bull, Capital One, Chipotle Grill,  and  Calvin Klein.

Companies like Millstone Coffee used custom face playing cards to advertise their different blends. Each blend was separately featured on individual face cards while Phantom used custom playing cards as a catalog of their product line.
