Choose premium specifications first. Decide how many to print second.
Many premium card manufacturing routes begin with a minimum production quantity. QPMN gives game publishers another path: choose from professional card stocks, specialty effects and custom packaging, then start from one deck through the online catalog. When a game needs custom construction or assembly, QPMN can also prepare a tailored manufacturing plan backed by Q P Group experience.
Custom manufacturing projects
Share your dimensions, components, packaging, assembly needs and planned quantity. The QPMN team can review the complete specification and prepare a production quote.
