Common questions

Why is Mr. Playing Card's MOQ 15 decks?

Ten decks is the smallest run that lets us deliver consistent press quality at a per-deck price that still makes sense for branded and event work. Most corporate giveaways and weddings order 100–1,000 decks anyway.

Can PrinterStudio do tuck boxes with foil?

PrinterStudio offers standard tuck boxes; premium foil, soft-touch, spot UV, and embossing are standard options at Mr. Playing Card on 350 GSM 16 point C2S coated stock.

Which has better customer support?

Mr. Playing Card has a direct US phone line (855-979-7416), email replies within one business day, and a human-reviewed file check before every job goes to press.
