Custom Playing Card Printing
Whether for Business, Marketing or Retail, We Print the Finest Custom-Made Professional Playing Cards in the Industry
The earliest known playing cards appeared in Europe in the 14th century as hand-painted collectables—luxury items for the wealthy. Since then, they’ve become a global staple and have been adapted for everything from classic games like poker and whist to magic tricks and business promotions.
At QinPrinting, we can print the standard 52-card deck (or 54, including two promotional cards), with each card sized at 63 x 88 mm, packaged in the traditional tuck-end card box.
But we specialise in producing fully custom-made decks based on your own unique designs. This is a popular option for magic trick creators, distinctive corporate gifts, or as a direct-to-market retail product.

Custom Playing Card Materials
We use high-quality card stock to produce our playing cards. The most popular and practical option is black core paper, which prevents light from passing through the cards—making it easier for players to conceal their hand. This is particularly important in games like poker, where secrecy and bluffing are key parts of play.
Here are the most common paper types we use for playing cards:
- 310 gsm black core paper
- 300 gsm gloss or matte art paper
- 350 gsm gloss art paper
Playing Card Surface Finishes
Playing cards are handled frequently, so we always recommend applying a varnish finish to both sides for added durability. We also typically round the corners to ensure smoother handling and improved longevity.
A non-glossy coating on both sides that offers a textured feel.
A glossy coating on both sides with a subtle texture.
A smooth, velvety matte film applied to both sides, offering durable, non-reflective finish.
A shiny film applied to both sides, giving the card a sleek, high-gloss appearance.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic gold foil pressed onto the card for an elegant, eye-catching detail.
Metallic silver foil applied to the card, adding a sleek, reflective accent.
Raised designs for added texture and elegance.
Metallic foil applied to the edges of the card, creating a premium and polished look from every angle.
Printed on holographic paper, which reflects rainbow-like colors when viewed from different angles.
Custom Playing Card Sizes
The standard size for traditional playing cards is 63 x 88 mm, and it remains the most popular choice. It’s also the most economical option, as we already have die-cutting moulds for this size in stock—meaning there’s no added cost for custom mould-making.
That said, we can produce playing cards in any size you need. For example, you might require jumbo cards for a magic deck or a miniature deck designed as a keyring for promotional use.
A standard deck typically includes 52 cards, sometimes with an additional two promotional cards to make a total of 54.
Playing Card Packaging and Accessories
To prepare your finished playing cards for shipping, we’ll pack them in the tuck-end box of your choice and shrink-wrap the package for protection.
We offer a range of shipping options to suit your timeline and budget, including land, air, and sea freight.
