Our playing card material is made up of 2 pieces of board that is laminated together using an opaque glue. This ensures that the board is more durable & has no possibility of show through. This material is great for Poker & Bridge style card games.
320gsm Sureslip
A step up from our 310gsm Heretic. Sureslip is a textured version that is perfect for magicians or magic tricks. It is also an amazing upgrade to make your pack stand out and appeal more to customers who love texture.
410gsm Tusker
A luxurious and thick card stock that is perfect for Tarot & Oracle cards! This is a stiff card stock that also has a black-core so that it has no show through.
