A performance-minded linen stock
Casino Linen CL31 is a 310 GSM paper card stock with an approximate 0.31 mm thickness. It combines a Black Core center layer with a linen surface embossed with small air pockets on both sides.
The embossed surface reduces direct contact between cards, supporting smoother dealing, spreading, fanning, and shuffling. The Black Core helps prevent artwork or card information from becoming visible when the card is exposed to light. No casino certification or tournament approval is implied.

Why Choose CL31 for Custom Card Printing
The Black Core is an additional dark layer positioned between the printed outer layers. It helps block light from revealing artwork or information on the opposite side. Small air pockets embossed into both card surfaces reduce direct contact between cards, helping them move more freely during dealing, spreading, fanning, and shuffling.

Frequently asked questions
What are the air pockets on CL31?
Air pockets are small embossed areas on both sides of the card. They reduce direct contact between cards and support smoother dealing, spreading, fanning, and shuffling.
What does the Black Core layer do?
The Black Core is an additional dark layer inside the card stock. It helps block light from passing through the card and revealing information printed on the opposite side.
Is Casino Linen CL31 casino certified?
No casino certification is claimed. The name describes material style and intended applications, not approval by a casino or tournament body.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
QPMN supports no minimum order quantity where the selected product configuration allows it. Confirm the card size, finish, packaging, and other options in the live workflow.
Will coatings or finishes change the thickness?
They can affect finished feel and may affect the approximate caliper. Treat ~0.31 mm as a guide, not an exact final finished-product measurement.
