Hi everyone. Aspiring designer here.

Unread post by SRO »

I would enjoy the challenge of making cards for cardistry, but I think I'm going to have to study more and I also think that any designs I make could work or fail on their own merits. What I really don't know about which card brands are better for cardistry. I think that the quality of cardstocks for handling is something that only a cardist could possibly know. Since I don't have experience, I don't know, and I'm certain it would take years of practice for me to even get an idea. I would appreciate it if you'd share your expertise with me and let me know your favorite manufacturers so that if I manage a good design, it'll be on cards that handle well.

You can find some info digging around here about card stocks and such - printers ability and access ability change over time - you probably only have 3 or 4 companies to choose from and all can likely pull off the job…

Legends, USPCC, KingStar, might be the top 3 at the moment but opinions will vary
