People’s passion for playing card games knows
no limits. Millions of people of all ages love card
games; everyone enjoys the tension and excitement
experienced during play. Cards are also played in an
open, friendly atmosphere of togetherness: the perfect
situation to convey your messsage. Giving away playing
cards as a promotional gift is a sure winner: attractive,
playful and a fun gift and a ve
ery effective medium at the
same time.
Media Efficiency of Playing Cards
A study in the premium product market,
shows that playing cards end up as the
number one choice in the eye of the
consumer, this in comparison to five other
promotional items (pens, lighters, base
caps, key chains & calenders).
Key factors of this success are the time of
usage, possibility for creative concepts, the
immediate impact of the message, ability
to carry additional content and the recall
rate of the product

Everything starts
tarts with the right choice of cardboard
This determines the playing
ying experience, the quality,
and the longevity of the cards. Cardboard makes all
the difference.
Need help? Our sales team will show you the difference.
Do you want more... respect for nature?
Cartamundi continues to improve and demonstrate
innovation. In doing so, we never lose sight of what’s
best for the environment! For example, for the choice of
paper/board we can play the card of responsible
Forestry Management. And this is just one example of
how we are keen to show respect for the world around
us. Our commitment to the environment will continue to
grow and we look forward to other companies following
suit.
The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international, non-profit making organisation (based
on membership, which has set itself the goal of preserving forests). In doing so, the FSC has
laid down a number of rules for responsible forestry management. In forests where these
rules apply, trees are felled with care, with respect for people, plants and animals. The PEFC
(Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) promotes and guarantees
economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially favourable forestry management.
