Cards & decks
Playing cards, learning cards and collectible decks are not a single product. Card count, size, stock, finish, corners and box all need to work together.
Common projects
The written quote records the format, materials, production scope, delivery treatment and any specialist requirement for the actual job.
Project perspective
A card deck is not defined by its cover alone. It has a number of unique card faces, a back design, a finished size, a corner treatment, a way of being handled and often a box or guide element. A numbered card list and a clear statement of what belongs in each deck make the first quote much more reliable.
What affects the quote
Specification options
These are discussion points, not a fixed public specification. The written quote names the materials, construction and proof route for the job.
Artwork handover
Common questions
If every face is different, a clearly numbered file or page set makes the sequence easier to review. A shared back should also be supplied or identified separately.
Yes, describe each component in the quote brief. They need to be scoped together because the packaging must fit the complete set.
Printing a deck or game?
Include the card or component count, finished size, packaging direction, quantity and delivery point. Artwork can still be in progress.
