Paper Options

We offer two common types of paper for custom playing cards: black core paper and premium cardstock. Each has its own advantages depending on your needs.

Black Core Paper

Black core paper is specially designed to prevent light from passing through the cards. This ensures that no information is visible from the reverse side, making it the preferred choice for professional poker and other games where fairness is essential. The standard weight we use is:

Paper	Weight	Thickness (mm)	Thickness (pt)
Black Core Paper	310gsm	0.325mm	13pt
