Custom Playing Card Decks

Have you ever wanted to find the perfect gift for your extended family — something that will remind you all of your favorite times together, even when you’re separated by states or oceans?

Or perhaps you’re looking for a corporate gift — something special for your employees or customers that will present your appreciation (and branding) for times when they aren’t at the office or on the clock?

Maybe there is an event coming up that is so momentous that it deserves an iconic piece of memorabilia?

Lonely Jokers CUSTOM Playing Card Decks are a fantastic solution!

Deck Options

From the Super Simple to the Fantastically Customized

All cards will be printed through MakePlayingCards.com (MPC) on their M31 casino-grade stock with a BETA playing card finish in Poker Size. This is a fantastic quality deck of cards with competitive production pricing in all quantities!

  • Standard deck faces (including courts), and a basic back design — family name, company name, or event title, or a photograph/image that you’d like to present.

    Ace of Spades will be a Lonely Jokers spade with your name or title tastefully embedded.

    Tuck would use the same content as decoration on a base white box, shrink-wrapped.

  • Standard faces (including courts) with a back that is customized to the customer’s specifications. This option requires some descriptive information from you, and will begin the process of developing a quote for your custom deck.

    Typical one-time charge for design will fall between $100 and $150 for the deck back artwork.

    Tuck would use the same content as decoration on a base white or color-printed box, shrink-wrapped.

  • If you have a selection of four items that you would like to use instead of the standard pips (spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts), we can design something around your objects that will make your deck truly unique. Colors and fonts may also be switched up — black and red in Helvetica are not set in stone!

    Ace of Spades will be an enlarged version of your custom pip spade with your name or title tastefully presented.

    Pip designs require a customer description, followed by a quote — typical pricing is $50 for basic shape development.

  • One of the most fun options we offer is the inclusion of specific faces on the court cards of the deck (Jack, Queen, and King). We can use photographs, or we can provide custom line art from your photos to create a completely unique set of courts.

    Imagine Grandpa as the King of Spades, or your highest-selling salesman as your Queen of Diamonds … be as creative as you like!

  • If you have a specific item or image that is special to your group or event, and you would like to showcase it uniquely in your deck, you can add it to custom Joker cards.

  • If you want to go all out and make this deck stand out on the shelf, we can develop a completely custom tuck that will beautifully house your deck of cards.

    Description of your presentation is required, and we will provide a quote to give you the most accurate estimate of costs.

    All tucks are printed on a matte, semi-glossy, or glossy stock (including recycled options) and can be shrink-wrapped or celophane-wrapped.
