Bridge Size Card Storage/Travel Cases (1 Viewer)

[btbmason]

Thanks to my mailman who apparently tap dances on every setup of cards I ever order, I find myself with a bunch of boxes that are so damaged I do not feel comfortable carrying cards in them.

Does anybody have any good suggestions for cases or boxes for bridge size cards? Either individual decks or for a full setup will work. I've done some searching but I'm more interested in seeing some that people already own, and not just what I find by using Google or the normal poker supply sites. Links and photos are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have some extra but those KEM cases look like a great deal as well.

How do you like those cases for bridge size cards? It says holds poker or bridge, so I'd expect there to be a decent amount of movement laterally within the case for the more narrow cards.

I had a bunch at one time and hated them but YMMV

Thanks for the link! Do you use these boxes, and/or have any comments about how they fit cards? I only have the black cardboard setup KEM boxes, so I haven't tried any of these yet.

I hit the thrift store. I have a stack of crappy cards, but at least 4 decent plastic single deck cases, 50 cents. Today I bought a double case for 50 cents and just left the cards at the store.

I have some and yes they are Poker size. Bridge will fit but they are not snug.

I have been looking for bridge size cases for years so I would be very interested if anyone knows of a source

You can do these double deck from copag

These are the cases I've been using. Single deck cases, and I just "serve" them in flat cigar box. 4 cases fit into the box and I let a player choose the deck we start with.

Now, this listing is expensive, but I find these decks at the thrift store for 50 cents and just keep the cases.

Of note:

- Plastic cards being thicker don't fit perfectly. The lid is just a bit loose
- These cases have clear lids and bottoms. Other cases, with a colored bottom, seem to be too thin and the cards won't fit. However, Casino Royal plaques fit fine.

I'm going to order some of the KEM cases shown above, just need to wait a few days for some PayPal money to roll in. I'll report back with my opinions and some photos. Thanks all for the suggestions, and feel free to keep em coming!

Great. Let us know what they are like

These arrived today, $17.95 shipped for 10 single cases. The seller had an extra 10% off all poker supplies.

They're nice, still a decent amount of space around the cards in the case (too narrow for poker sized cards but still some room) but I'd imagine any card case will have a little wiggle room. I'm not ecstatic about them, but they'll work better than my alternatives.

I'll probably keep looking to see if I can find something a tad more snug, or maybe add small pieces of foam to keep the cards from sliding around so much during transport. I can always remove that when I want to take the cards out.

I picked up some tuck boxes from makeplayingcards.com for a bunch of bridge setups of bicycle prestige that came sans box. I've only bought the paper boxes (paper with high gloss coating), but they have plastic and tin boxes as well.

Never tried it myself, but here a link I had posted a while back to print your own custom tuck boxes with or without custom graphics:

Can you briefly explain how this works? Do you place thick stock into a printer and print out, using their template?

Yes, I believe it is that simple, as mentioned I never tried it yet myself, but that seems to be it.
