Ace Authentic®

Cartamundi, founded in 1970 as a partnership between historic Belgian printing houses with roots dating back to 1765, has become a global leader in playing card manufacturing. Ace Authentic decks represent Cartamundi’s vision of bringing affordable, casino-inspired cards to everyday players. These decks are most commonly made with paper card stock finished with a durable plastic coating—offering a satisfying shuffle and solid longevity for their price.

While Cartamundi is renowned for both plastic and paper cards, most Ace Authentic decks found in North America are produced in the USA or China, favoring paper stock for mass retail and club markets. The aviation-themed backs honor the casino tradition of sharp, readable designs, and indices are offered in both standard and jumbo sizes, suited for diverse player needs. Throughout history, Cartamundi has been defined by expansion, innovation, and production excellence, supplying cards to homes, casinos, and game publishers around the world.
