Reddit reviews Southworth 25% Cotton Business Coverstock, 8.5" x 11", 65 lb/176 GSM, Linen Finish, White, 100 Sheets - Packaging May Vary (Z550CK)

What you want is Chipboard (In Europe they call it greyboard) and then you want to print on Linen Paper, and paste it together using Super77. Grab a olaf blade, a cutting mat and a ruler and go to town on it!

Sorry I'm late, others have given you great ways to have a good deck produced, they can be a little bit expensive, if you goal was to simply print one deck for a card game.


If you really just want to print one deck for a drinking game, but have it on something more resembling a deck of real cards, you can simply print the cards on a good quality linen finish cardstock:

If you are just printing text, than a good quality home printer should produce an acceptable quality. If you want to throw a few more dollars at the project, take it to staples and have it printed on a high quality laser printer.


You'll have to cut the edges on a basic straight edge paper cutter, unless you have access to a die-cutter to perform the nice rounded corners you find on a deck of cards. They can be rather expensive and not worth-while for a project of this small scale.


One tip, I can offer is to use a whole punch to clean the corners. A 90 degree angle corner on a card is likely to get bent and deformed over time. Carefully running each corner into a hole punch will "die-cut" each corner into a inverted arc. Not as good as a real die-cut, but a nice little finish, if done accurately. It will take some experimenting to set up guides on the whole punch that you can align each corner into to get a symmetrical even punch each time. If you mess it up, the deck will not stack straight on the corners.

EDIT - Never mind, looks like corner rounders are now pretty cheap!
