What does FSC mean?
Ivory Graphics Ltd FSC® Certification Code: CU-COC-822090
At Ivory, we ensure all of our products have the lowest impact on the environment as possible. We are very proud of our products we gained the FSC® certification on 18th October 2012. The FSC® Forestry Stewardship Council®), a non-profit organisation that makes a chain of custody between the source to manufacture of our paper and delivery. All FSC® material comes from a sustainable source.

What is UKCA?
If you plan to mass-produce and sell your card game, then you'll need to include CE & UKCA marks. Governing bodies made it a legal requirement for sellers to include CE (for Europe) and UKCA (for UK). This shows that your product has passed the UK's / Europe's conformity assessment and is safe for use & selling.
If you don't include a CE and or UKCA mark when selling your product, you are selling your products illegally and could be liable for a fine or even in extreme cases jail time.
But, don't worry, we're here to help! So, that you can relax and just focus on your product getting funded. We'll send off your playing card deck off for testing and approval. Once approved, you'll receive a declaration of conformity & be allowed to place your CE & UKCA mark onto your packs.
