Get your hands on a Piece Of History. After 32 years, we are releasing our 1st Ever MPC Branded Cards, a Special Pre-launch Edition.
Our story:
We are MakePlayingCards.com, a professional custom playing cards printing service, owned and run by QP Group, a major high street board games printing and production company since 1982. We released our popular online playing cards making site in the middle of 2012 and since then, it has grown massively in demand through rigorous improvements to the user's online experience to sourcing the best playing card stock materials, card finishing, printing technology and our services. This was only made possible by our years of experience in games development, constant collaboration with our end consumers, operating with an open mind to change and a real desire to become one of the best. We are now able to produce casino quality cards that are comparable with the best in the industry in terms of print, production and handling.
Even though we produce custom print playing cards for thousands of customers every month, we still don't have our own brand of cards, which we have constantly received requests for. That has prompted us to do just that and create our own brand of cards called MPC (Make Playing Cards abbreviated) which we will release the standard version to the general public after our special edition pre-launch campaign on Kickstarter.
What you are getting here:
Design
To celebrate the release of our first ever MPC branded card decks, we have created something very special. You're not just getting any playing cards here, but the first ever MPC branded playing cards which are especially made for this Kickstarter project. You are essentially getting your hands on a piece of history, a deck of cards that may have potential investment value as this will be the first batch run ever on our own brand of MPC cards. Details as follows
1. 'Pre-release Edition' gold foil stamped tuck box
2. A completely redrawn and redesigned deck of cards which is similar to the standard cards that we have all come to recognize and love but with our own touch.
3. 54 cards:
i. Ace to king for all 4 suits (52 cards)
ii. Joker cards (2 cards)

Extras:
Apart from the first ever offering of the enhanced MPC Standard deck, you could also pledge on our Pre-release Red Edition and Blue Edition cards too which has the same features as the standard deck but different box and special card color design. You could go one further notch up and get the uncut sheet versions of the decks too. The uncut sheets will be a one-time only release to the public.

Full brick box (12 decks)
Printing and Production:
Everything will be done in-house using our state of the art equipment which we have been using to produce high quality products for our customers. We have all the experience and equipment needed to produce amazing casino quality playing cards and we're very excited for you to try the first-ever batch run. We are pretty darn sure you'll love the quality too.
The card stock:
We will be printing these cards using M31 casino grade card stock which contains the popular tiny air pockets for a better glide. The finish used on the cards is a new secret blend which we have found to make the cards amazing to handle. This will be the first ever release of this finishing to the public. Measures 2.5 by 3.5 inches (poker size). All in all, these cards are exceptional in all respects.

Special gift to all backers:
As a thank you to all our backers, we will also send you a special coupon code to use on our site to experience customizing your own deck of cards on our online cards maker.
Pledges breakdown:
Here's a breakdown so you can see more clearly what you're pledging for.
Funding goal:
The funding goal is kept very low since we are doing everything in house. This will also give backers a more guaranteed chance to get their hands on these limited edition cards.
The future:
After our special pre-launch campaign of our MPC branded cards (limited edition) on Kickstarter , the standardized version of these cards will be made available on our site. We are confident on the success of our own brand of cards as we have spent many years developing, learning and invested a lot on equipment and resources to produce top quality playing cards. Hope you will support us!
