Streamline playing cards are a true American classic—renowned for budget-friendly reliability and a clean, traditional card experience. Originally developed by the Arrco Playing Card Company (born as Arrow Playing Card Co. in Chicago, 1927), Streamline decks earned their reputation for accessible quality with smooth finishes and sturdy stock. Arrco’s innovation in mass-market, plastic-coated cards transformed card tables and club nights across America.
After Arrco’s acquisition by the United States Playing Card Company in 1987, Streamline continued as a grocery and drugstore staple, maintaining its trusted design. Now printed by USPC, Streamline offers classic poker decks in both standard and jumbo index, red and blue, plus specialized pinochle decks—all budget-conscious, tough, and ready for hours of play.
