Can I Build My Custom Card Deck and Order Online? 

You have to deal with a real person at AdMagic. If you want - you can build a deck with our playing card builder but since setup is FREE you should just let us do it for you. At any rate - you will still need to talk to us or email us.

All orders to AdMagic are handled personally one on one due to the personalized nature of each playing card order. We are expert manufacturers of customized playing card projects and we will personally guide you through the process - which we try to keep pretty easy on your end. This service is not available from all playing card companies because here -  we pride ourselves on having the best customer service in the business. This is pretty well backed up by our client emails and our page  happy clients but we can definitely provide you with references.

What are "Layout Services" and "Setup”?

Once your artwork is ready, all files will need to be laid out set-up for final printing. We’ll provide you with the right templates and assign an artist our team to help you through the set-up process, ensuring that your files will be set-up properly. Our artist will then send the artwork to print and generate a digital proof for you to approve.

Is There a Playing Card Proof First? 

Yes. We do not print anything without a proof. Once we process your order we will email you a pdf proof of your deck. Most proofs are turned around immediately upon our receipt of the order. A second proof is generated by the production team at the factory just prior to printing to confirm that there are no errors in transferring your files to plate. In complicated double sided custom playing card orders we will proof you in sheet form so you can see which card backs up to what images.

What Kinds of Artistic Services Can You Provide?

From removing backgrounds from photos, to ‘photo-shopping’ images, we have artists on staff that can take care of all of this for the same competitive rates as others you would expect to work with. The availability of artists is subject to how busy we are at the moment, so best to send an inquiry to our team far in advance if you need these services.

Kickstarter Projects

We will work with you every step of the way to price your items for Kickstarter, and as a part of that process we can also make prototypes for you to use for the photographs required for Kickstarter.

What are "Prototypes for Photography”?

To ensure your game is shown as best as possible on Kickstarter, you will want to make a prototype (one copy of your game) in order to get high quality pictures for your Kickstarter. You can contact our prototype division directly at printplaygames@gmail.com once you have decided on the final specs for your game. Visit Print & Play to find out more.

What is Playing Card Terminology? 

Personalized Playing Card "FACES"

The front side of the playing card is the "face" of the playing card. This side is where you usually see the playing card numbers and symbols for the suits (which are called PIPS).. When laying out, designing and printing Personalized playing cards bear in mind that your images may fill up the entire side of the card or may be placed in the center of the cards. Your playing card "faces" may be the standard faces - which show the standard King, Queen, Jack and Ace or you can customize each "face" with any image - even personalized pips and numbers of your own design. This generally adds an additional set up to the order - it depends on the size and specifics of your Personalized playing card project. Call for an exact quotation.

Personalized Playing Card "BACKS"

The "back" side of the playing card is the side that is usually the same on all of the cards. These can, however be fully Personalized in any way you desire - just like the faces, they too can be all different. Generally though in order to make a Personalized playing card deck usable for playing card games- they must all be identical.

Playing Card "PIPS"

These are the numbers and symbols that designate the face cards.

Spades - Diamonds - Hearts and Clubs are the standard but you can modify these or remove them completely or design your own suits - it is completely up to you. All you need to do is design within the parameters of the art templates we send you.
