Stamping Finishing

Foil stamping applies metallic foil designs onto card decks using heat or pressure, creating a luxurious, eye-catching effect. Available in hot stamping, cold stamping, 3D stamping, and UV stamping, it's the go-to choice for high-end, premium card deck production.

Edging Finishing

Edging adds a decorative finish to the edges of card decks, available in two styles: gilding applies a shiny metallic foil using heat and pressure, while matte edging uses paint or ink for a flat, non-reflective appearance.

UV Finishing

UV finishing uses ultraviolet light to cure specialty coatings, adding gloss, texture, or visual contrast to card decks. Options include Spot UV, UV transfer, Reverse UV, and Scodix — perfect for highlighting logos, text, or key design elements.

Emboss / Deboss Finishing

Embossing raises the card surface to create a tactile, three-dimensional effect, while debossing presses designs inward for a recessed look. Both techniques add visual depth and texture, commonly applied to card boxes, logos, symbols, and decorative patterns.

Linen Finishing

Linen finishing adds a subtle grid texture to card surfaces, improving grip and making cards easier to shuffle and handle. It also enhances the visual appeal of glossy papers like art paper, giving the deck a refined, high-quality feel.

Coding Finishing

Coding finishing marks cards with production codes, unique identifiers, or serial numbers to support quality control, anti-counterfeiting, and collectible value. Available methods include UV inkjet, infrared inkjet, and foil stamping coding to meet diverse customization needs.

Mounting / Embedding

Mounting laminates additional materials onto cards to increase thickness or achieve unique effects. Embedding incorporates objects directly within the card — such as NFC chips, metal, acrylic, or cloth — through die-cutting or lenticular printing techniques.

Very impressed with the level of attention to detail throughout the entire process. The team walked us through every step of ordering a multi-variant custom deck set for our brand, and the finished quality exceeded what we'd seen from previous print suppliers.

We've printed with CPPS three times now, and every order has been outstanding — in both print quality and service. The team is personable, quick to respond, and always delivers exactly what we envisioned. Everyone who has received one of our decks has commented on the quality. We pass their name along to anyone looking for a reliable custom card manufacturer.

As someone new to working with an overseas printer, I was genuinely impressed — not just by the final product, but by how transparent and attentive the entire process was. The team even caught a critical file error before it went to production, which saved us a lot of trouble. An all-around excellent experience I wouldn't hesitate to repeat.

We had never seen custom card printing done so well at such a competitive price point. The paper quality options are exceptional, and the turnaround time was perfect for our tight deadline. What really stood out was the customer service — they were with us every step of the way, and the team genuinely cared about getting our deck right. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CPPS to anyone looking for a serious custom card printer.

It's hard to find a manufacturer that truly understands card design and delivers on both quality and price. CPPS knows their craft inside and out, and their team is diligent, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Would absolutely use them again and recommend them without reservation.
