Plastic Playing Cards

Looking for cards that can handle real life? Our Plastic Playing Cards collection is built around washable, spill-resistant options that outlast paper decks—perfect for poker nights, bridge clubs, canasta groups, travel, cabins, and outdoor tables.

This collection includes multiple premium “true plastic” families: cellulose acetate (like KEM), 100% plastic (PVC-style decks from brands like Copag, Modiano, and Piatnik), and waterproof clear decks for poolside and travel play.

Quick Picks: Size & Readability

• Poker size vs bridge size: poker is wider; bridge is narrower (often easier for long sessions and smaller hands).
• Jumbo vs regular index: jumbo is easiest to read across the table; regular keeps the classic look.
• Single decks vs 2-deck sets: singles are great for refills; 2-deck sets are the standard for clubs and rotation play.

Plastic Playing Cards FAQ

Are these decks really “100% plastic”?
Many are true 100% plastic decks. This collection also includes cellulose acetate (KEM) and waterproof clear decks—each has a different feel and use case.

What’s the difference between PVC plastic and cellulose acetate?
PVC-style decks are often chosen for durability and washability; cellulose acetate (like KEM) has a premium feel favored by many bridge and canasta players.

Are waterproof decks the same as 100% plastic?
Some waterproof decks are clear plastic and designed specifically for outdoor/travel use. If you want outdoor-first decks, shop Waterproof.

How do I clean plastic playing cards?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For washable decks, mild soap + lukewarm water works well—dry completely before storing flat.

Which plastic deck should I buy first?
If you want classic premium: start with KEM. If you want 100% plastic value: start with Copag or Modiano. If you want outdoor clear: start with Waterproof.
