How To Get Your Own Custom Playing Cards

This "Me" or "I" generation focuses on what you want. Everything can now be customized or personalized in just a few clicks. One example is the playing card. Years ago, it was only the bicycle cards, kem poker cards, pinochle cards, casino cards, and the bee cards. Now, anything and everything can be customized according to your own specifications. The following Websites are sources where you can get your own custom playing cards.

1. Yourplayingcards.com - Cost per set is $19.99. You can choose the type of cards (paper/casino style or plastic), layout such as the orientation (portrait or landscape), border type, color and thickness, and of course, you can upload any picture of anything that you wish. This image can easily be rotated, moved, enlarged and copied. Besides this, you can include text with your preferred font, size and style. After this, you can save and order.
2. Tmcards.com - The target market of this Web site if not for personal use playing cards, but as souvenir or give away. A minimum order is 100 pieces for a price of $4.26. It can get as low as $2.28 if you want 999 pcs. The process of ordering here is just to fill out the size, quantity, card material, coating finish and the picture or clip art you want to upload.
3. Customizedplayingcards.com - The difference with this Web site is one-on-one treatment with each client. Each order is unique. There is no price indicated in their page because cost will differ depending on your design. This Web site does not offer uploading or doing your own thing. It is their service to do the layout for you. You just have to send an e-mail with a detailed description of the design, the number of sets to be ordered and the delivery date. This company will send you proof for your approval before finally proceeding with the order.
4. Personalisedplayingcards.com - Cost here varies depending on number of sets. One set costs £10.49 while 100 sets are charged at £3.25. Three steps and you will be done with your own playing cards. The first step is to upload your picture (should be .jpg, .jpeg or .png formats and size should not exceed 5MB). Step 2 is positioning the photo. Edit the picture by resizing and cropping. Once done, you can proceed with actual order and pay. Determine your required lead time and make payment by following the steps indicated on the site.

If you are the type of person who wants to see the actual production, you can find someone to do this within your neighborhood. Go to any print shop or offset printer within your area or town and inquire about the cost of having this playing card custom-made. This might be more expensive though since playing cards are not their area of expertise; they might not have leveraged for the paper or plastic material for the playing cards. They might buy these materials just for you - unlike the Web sites mentioned, where playing cards are their core business.
