Hello fellow lemmings! I’m designing a customized deck of cards as a present for a friend of mine. When finished, I’d like to print it by myself, because online print services would cost way too much for a single deck of cards. I’d like the cards to be robust and durable, and to be easy to shuffle. Is there a particular type of paper that you recommend? Or something to apply afterward? I’m thinking of plasticizing the cards after the print process, but I don’t know how well it would come out. Any idea is welcome!
Another endorsement for makeplayingcards. Relatively affordable for a single deck. I know it’s not cheap considering how you can get a deck of Bicycles for 2-8 bucks at Walgreens depending on how fancy they are, but one off custom card making is kind of specialized to a point where your at home results won’t even come close.
