Create Your Own Playing Cards – DIY Printable Kit
Whether you're prototyping a new Trading Card Game (TCG), creating a unique wedding favor, or designing a custom tarot deck, this kit provides the professional materials needed to bring your vision to life. This isn't just cardstock—it’s a multi-material system designed for a premium, heavy-weight finish that feels authentic in the hand.

- Step 2 (Print): Print your designs onto the included 8.5" x 11" adhesive vinyl or clear sheets.
- Step 3 (Apply): Peel and stick your printed designs onto the included blank regulation-size poker cards for a perfectly centered, thick, and durable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I print directly onto the cards?
No. Home printers cannot feed individual playing cards accurately. You print on the included 8.5" x 11" adhesive sheets, then apply them to the blank cards. This ensures your artwork is always centered and allows the cards to remain the standard 3.5" x 2.5" size.
Can I use a laser printer?
No. This kit is specifically designed for Inkjet printers. The high heat of a laser fuser may melt the vinyl adhesive or damage the glossy surface coating.
