Hello All
As I did not find any other thread, I hope that this is the appropiate one to post this.
I designed some CPC Poker Chips for a friend of mine exactly one year ago. This guy is now becoming 40 years and a big event is ahead and a nice gift is needed...
I found Makeplayingcards.com some time ago and it was decides very quickly with our poker core team that it is worth a try and that those cards would be a quick win in either way – funny or really good.
Based on that decision, I started to investigate the website and found very easily what I need. The website is quite professional and lean.
We decided to go with qty 7 (6+1 spare just in case) Sets of Jumbo Index Poker Size Plastic Playing cards with a custom tuck box. On top I selected a 6 Decks Brick Box - again fully customized.
For each product, you’ll find a template to fill with your design with two options a) do it quick and dirty on their website or b) go for Photoshop and upload a PSD file.
Once I’ve finished my design, I started the order process which is again very professional. You will be easily led through all necessary steps and can add options after each step. If you need details PM me...
Based on my order I immediatly received a feedback where MPC asked me to correct my design in some specific ares to better meet the print requirements.
They exactly showed me the impacted areas. I updated my file which ended up to big and the upload failed. After a short email exchange (all this happeneded within hours) we decided to go via dropbox and everything was done.
The order process was fast, professional, responsive and much better than i’ve ever expected.
Today I received the cards and I wanted to share the final result with the community.
Inside the package there have been:
7 sets of Cards (sealed in shrink foil) inside of the custom tuck boxes (again in foil).
2 brick boxes ( I ordered one only)
2 sheets of seals ( orderd one only)
Everything was covered inside of transparent foil.
The only thing to claim was the package itself as it was not appropriate closed.
But to me it seems that this was due to opening by customs....
Conclusion
I am not a card expert and checked only one deck out of 7 so far. There will be more details end of this year...
The „out of the box“ feeling of the cards is quite good. The print is crisp and clear. The cards are printed very good and the color cannot be scratched of by finger nails.
Without any comparision, the cards does not feel worth than other cards I am used to ( we normally play fournier and copacs).
But again as sayed before , just out of the box!
Nevertheless the final result is pretty clear- I need those cards customized for my Bel Air set. There is no way around. I really like the result (without long term research J ) and I am on board too.
Sidenote: This is not a payed advertisment!!
And for all the chipaholics - these are the CPC chippie...
With my very best regards from germany.
Cheers
Nils
EDIT:
1st thing to notice - the Jumbo Index is VERY BIG. You have to bend 1/3 of the cards to see what kind of suit you have. Conclusion for me - do not take Jumbo Index!
