Custom retail playing card decks seem to be making a comeback in 2012 – perhaps with the rest of the economy. Gift shops in Ski areas – on Riverboats – at The Grand Canyon – In New Age stores – in museums -at National Parks and at mountain ranges – all carry custom playing card decks for retail sale. In 2012 custom retail playing card decks are more eye catching than ever. An affordable and cost effective impulse buy – tourists find them easy to travel home with, and surprisingly affordable. With the advent of information and trivia decks- the buyer gets even more bang for their buck.
Recently Ad Magic Playing Cards printed decks for a Riverboat and a ski area that both included interesting facts about both areas on the card faces. Entertaining and educational these decks make great souvenirs. Each deck comes in a full color retail quality tuck box – featuring a pull tab release and cello wrap – with up to 56 cards with custom faces printed in full color on the inside. When it comes to designing the deck – the sky is the limit. We have art specifications for custom playing cards on our page – but each press has its own template to a certain extent – so we encourage clients to call and discuss the details of their decks before downloading any of our templates.
Usually purchased in wholesale quantities of 500 and up – retail quality custom playing cards are a profit center for all of our clients – as they usually sell for triple the cost – which is a great return by any standard. When buying wholesale custom playing cards – it is not necessary for a client to design the deck. They need only come up with the idea. Since our staff is trained in designing playing cards – we offer the design service at no extra charge and a proof of the entire printing sheet is provided to the client prior to the start of any print production.
Delivery of 500-1000 decks takes about 21 days from start to finish – including design – proofing – final factory proof, printing and delivery to the client’s door.
Some examples of retail playing card decks we have done are shown here.
