What Is Playing Card Packaging?

Playing card packaging refers to a box, case, or sleeve for the deck of cards. The most common type of playing card box is the tuck carton that is easy to open and close. At Dodo Packaging AU, we offer various types of packaging options for card packaging, such as rigid boxes for collector sets or high-end decks, drawer boxes with trays, tin cases, or multi-deck cartons.

Materials for Playing Card Packaging

The material used will dictate how the box feels, how effectively it safeguards the cards, and how well it prints. Dodo Packaging AU provides several options:

Cardboard

It is the most common material used for playing card boxes. It is easy to handle, inexpensive, and allows for incredible printing in full colour. Your cards are well-protected from both bending and damage during transportation while keeping the weight low.

Kraft Paperboard

It’s a naturally brown board that appears rustic and artisan. Ideal for games and craft decks as well as eco-friendly brands. This material is easily recycled.

White-Coated Board

A bright white finish brings images to life with vivid colours and sharp contrasts. This paper is ideal for intricate illustrations or where colour accuracy is of utmost importance. Create a luxury playing card box using white coated board.

Rigid Board

Thick and sturdy board that gives a premium feel. Rigid boxes will retain their shape, provide protection for cards for many years, and can be used for limited editions of games, gift boxes, and crowdfunded games. We highly recommend using our cool playing card boxes that are available at a very affordable rate.

Corrugated Cardboard

It is multiple-fluted cardboard that gives durability. Moreover, it is ideal for shipping containers and display packs, and for postal mailing cards that need additional protection. Order custom playing card boxes wholesale made from corrugated cardboard, giving your products maximum protection during shipping.

Sizes for Playing Cards Boxes

Normal playing cards are measured at 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The box requires a little extra space for the flap of the box and for easy removal. To create the empty playing card boxes, consider the exact size of the cards and the thickness of the deck.

Poker size	2.5 x 3.5 in	The most common size
Bridge size	2.25 x 3.5 in	A narrower box
Mini cards	Smaller custom sizes	Made to order
Oversize or tarot	Larger custom sizes	Made to order
Trading cards	Standard trading card size	Often boxed in multiples

Finishing Options

Finishes improve the printing quality and maximise the feel of playing card tuck boxes. Use the following options to further beautify your blank playing card box packaging, or to add additional protection to your boxes.

Matte lamination is a satin finish that offers a smooth touch and prevents glare.

You can also choose gloss lamination for a bright yet reflective surface. Pop your colours with this type of finish, and it prevents wear and tear.

Additionally, pick soft-touch lamination to achieve a velvety feel on your cardboard playing card boxes. Perfect for premium yet collector decks.

Using Spot UV, you can highlight certain parts of your card packaging, including logos or design. Thus, show your branding elements against a matte background.

Foil stamping comes in gold, silver and copper colours that give standout texture to symbols, borders, and titles.

Moreover, we also offer embossing and debossing. Therefore, whether you need a raised or sunken design, or want to give your items a more dimensional texture, use these options.

Use aqueous coating to protect your playing card storage box and make recycling easy. Plus, varnish is a transparent finish that adds lustre and defends the surface from abrasion.

Pokers and magicians typically choose foil on a matte black Labubu blind box Australia and use spot UV for contemporary art decks. Some designers even opt for two or three coatings; we offer 2d or 3d sampling service to let you get a sense of the look and feel. Lamination and foiling aren't always compatible with kerbside recycling systems, so let us know if you care whether it can be recycled.

Tips for Designing a Great Playing Card Box

Whether you need to design custom toy packaging or want to craft a playing card box, begin with the card dimensions. Provide the exact sizes of the cards and the thickness of the deck so the box is accurate.

Uplift the front panel of your playing card packaging by placing your logos or brand name. It will be the first thing a customer sees. And keep fine text away from fold lines.

The sides show when the deck are stacked. On the back and sides of the deck, you can add a game name or even imprint a design.

Use the same colours and patterns from the card backs on the packaging so the cards and packaging are integrated as one product.

Choose finishing touches with purpose. One or two well-placed effects—such as foil on the title—can look better than several competing details. Design your action figure packaging to look great both on the shelf and on screen; a photograph-friendly package can sell well online and in stores.
