Hello fellow lemmings! I’m designing a customized deck of cards as a present for a friend of mine. When finished, I’d like to print it by myself, because online print services would cost way too much for a single deck of cards. I’d like the cards to be robust and durable, and to be easy to shuffle. Is there a particular type of paper that you recommend? Or something to apply afterward? I’m thinking of plasticizing the cards after the print process, but I don’t know how well it would come out. Any idea is welcome!
I went with card stock at my local Office Depot and then just cut them out by hand, laminating is an option, but I wouldn’t use the ones Office Depot uses because they won’t turn out very good. You need a high quality laminator if you want to go that route.
