Hey guys, 

I'm looking to get some cards printed by the USPCC and its a pain trying to get a quote from them for having printing enhancements added to the tuck boxes. To the people out there who have had decks produced, I just wondered if you would mind enlightening me a rough price it goes up by if you were to add a Foil / Embossing to the tuck case... are we talking $2000+ ?

Note: i'm thinking of getting a run of 5000 produced.

Thanks for reading!   :D

Did you contact Tiffany Mahan in the Custom Department?  She's the go-to gal there these days, as far as I know.

You should have mentioned you aren't in the US!  The Custom Department only handles domestic custom deck orders.  They have international divisions (such as Canada) to handle international orders, including custom work.

Special tuck features will have a varying cost. Most of those designs will be outsourced to their third party tuck printers, and depending on the complexity of your designs you may be adding 15 cents, or a dollar. If you were doing 5000 decks, you probably could expect at least a couple extra thousand.

Would he be able to find his own third-party printer?  Maybe catch a deal?

Yeah I thought it may be something like a couple of thousand for the added foiling. I think it'll be worthwhile though, it makes the tuck more special I think.

Is this board a good place to upload some imagery and get some feedback for the designs? Is there a thread for it? I feel it maybe easier for you guys to see the idea I have rather than trying to use your imagination lol

Make a thread in this board (Design/Dev) with your designs.  We'll be happy to take a look.  We've had a few decks that came through here and eventually got made.
