Cards are an important part of many board games. PrintNinja offers many ways to customize your cards, from weight and materials to specialty options.
Cardstock Weight
Cardstock weight is measured in GSM (grams per square meter). This is the universal measure for playing card paper weight. The higher the number (300gsm, 330gsm, 350gsm), the thicker and heavier the stock and card will be.
We also offer plastic playing cards made of PVC. These durable, waterproof cards are a great option for party games and children’s games. You can also order lamination for a water-resistant effect.
Paper card stock is categorized by its core: blue, black, or coreless. You can tell what core board game cards use by ripping them in half, as seen in the photo to the right. This shows blue core on top and black core on the bottom. The core prevents the board game card from being transparent when held up to bright light.
