Custom Playing Card Boxes
The common playing card decks are packaged in a tuck-end box before being shrink-wrapped. However, if you want your cards to look unique in the market, you can choose from the following custom playing card box options. Meanwhile, for any specific design in your mind, we can work together to create a fully customized solution based on your ideas. The possibilities are truly unlimited!
Playing Cards Paper Options
We use premium cardstock and black core paper to craft your playing cards. Premium cardstock is slightly thicker than standard paper for added durability, while black core paper prevents light from passing through—ensuring players can’t see any information on the other side. Below are the most common paper types we use for playing cards:
- 310 gsm / 114 lb black core paper
- 300 gsm / 110 lb premium cardstock
- 350 gsm / 129 lb premium cardstock
Other Special Paper
Besides the common cardstock, we also offer special cardstock including holographic, gold, silver foil cardstock.

Custom Playing Card Sizes
The standard size for traditional playing cards is 2.5″ x 3.5″ and is always the most popular. It’s also the most economical as we have the die-cutting molds for this size of card always in stock, so there’s no need to pay an added mold-making fee. However, if you prefer a unique size for a specific project, we can accommodate that as well. Below are some sample playing card sizes for reference.
Surface Finishes
We generally recommend applying a varnish to both sides of the cards and using rounded corners to ensure a smooth, protective finish. However, depending on how and where your cards will be used, you may prefer one of our other available surface treatments. Below are the various card finish options for reference.

The sample kit they have available is a must-order for your project. It has every type of paper and finish with a bunch of sample products they've worked on, which helped me make an informed decision about how I wanted my game to look and feel.
