Look, we all know that when it comes to playing card stock and finishes the United States Playing Card Company produces some of the best cards on the planet. We have also all had ideas for custom gaffs, business cards and other interesting things printed on playing cards.
Do you need cards for McDonald's Deuces? How about your favorite monte? Maybe a business card that you can use for Chicago Opener? Or maybe you're the guy who wants to give away a funny card at every gig. Whether you need a double backer, a double facer, or something totally new, The Magic Firm can help.
In the past it has been almost impossible to print a single card because you need to order 2,500 decks to have cards custom printed. That’s 140,000 individual playing cards and costs thousands of dollars.
What if you could have custom single playing cards printed by the United States Playing Card Company but only needed to order 2,500 individual cards and at a cost of only $500? Sounds pretty sweet, right?
That's even less money than you would pay to order the same amount of cards from one of the digital card printing sites. These sites are great for making prototypes but nothing beats the real thing from Bicycle.
The Magic Firm has been producing decks with USPCC since 2019 and we can bring your ideas to life. It’s a simple process on your end. You send us your artwork, and we do the rest! If you only have a concept we can even help with the artwork. Some additional fees may be required for artwork services.
To get started all you have to do is add to cart and the process will begin. You will receive a download that explains the entire process and provides technical specs. We'll discuss your project in detail to make sure you get exactly what you want and need.
Since several people will be participating in a run, the timeline for when the project will be submitted to USPCC depends on how quickly the deck is filled. We will have a window that allows everyone enough time to submit but that doesn't drag on. We'll provide a deadline to all buyers for when the final art must be ready. After everyone's artwork has been approved you will receive your cards in roughly 90 days depending on USPCC production times. You'll receive your cards in plain white card boxes.
These cards are being printed by USPCC so of course there are some rules. You can't alter the backs of Bicycle Rider Back cards or any other trademarks such as the Ace of Spades or Joker. You can alter the Mandolin or Maiden designs. You can print business cards, but not with Bicycle, Tally-Ho, Bee, or other USPCC-owned back designs. If for any reason your artwork isn’t approved we will happily and quickly refund 100% of your purchase price.
USPCC has very specific file needs for print. High-resolution or vector files from software like Photoshop or Illustrator are the best. We can help those who need it with creating the right type of file.
Your purchase guarantees you 2,500 cards. In the event of an under-run of cards, the difference will be refunded to you. In the event of an over-run you will be given the option of purchasing the extras at the same per-card cost.
If you have any other questions or need any extra details please contact us directly.
Do you have a great idea for a gimmicked card but don’t have the funds to produce it? Send us the idea and maybe we can help make it a reality. We'd love to talk to you about it.
