I took the liberty of changing the title of the topic to match the title of the deck.

Thank you. Now we are considering where to print. The first question is - quality. In addition, all limited edition boxes gold foil:

Limited Edition ARCANUM Deck

Limited Edition ARCANUM Minis Deck

Limited Edition ARCANUM Plastic Deck

Limited Edition ARCANUM Plastic Deck

Plastic decks are prohibitively expensive - I've seen exactly one "custom" branded deck in plastic, the Karnival Death Heads, Armour Edition, and it sold for $25 a pack.

Mini decks are cute, but not essential.  It also add an expense to the project.  Consider it as a stretch goal, after getting a standard poker deck in a second color.

The best printers we see around here on a regular basis are
  • the Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC)
  • the Legends Playing Card Company (LPCC)
  • the United States Playing Card Company (USPC)

Two of those three companies have an official presence on this board, with company topics and a Discourse Agent to answer questions and distribute propaganda!  :))  Those same two also have their own easy-to-find websites with information about how to place an order for a custom print run.

First of all, how big is the plastic DESK?  Student-sized or more like a real piece of office furniture?  :))

Second, who's the American partner?  If it's MPC, they're not really American - they're printed in China.  The quality is decent from what I've heard, but doesn't hold a candle to the other printers I suggested.

Limited Edition ARCANUM Plastic DESK - 2,5 "x 3.5"
Print most likely will be in the United States Playing Card Company (USPC).
Partner - is not a company.
