I thought I would share/endorse a very simple tip I found somewhere in a post online a while back.
I have played with plastic cards for 18 years and began with a set of Kem Arrows. Those first cards were great but every set of Kems I bought after (pre and post 2004) all bowed on me. So I gave them up and searched for an equivalent. Well after buying a sample of almost every manufacturer that makes plastic cards, i've never found the manufacture I can replicate the feel of Kems. Well, after a 10 year boycott I decided to try a set after I came across a simple tip:
Simply store the cards upside down in the box with a cut cards and dealer button (never use those anyway) on top. This is a perfect thickness that really squeezes the cards. After several months I'm happy to report they have remained perfectly flat!
You shouldn't have to do that, but if you really enjoy the feel of Kems, this seems to work.
