Poker is a common entertainment item in daily life, so let's learn about the customized printing process of poker manufacturers.

Poker printing includes the following 15 steps (steps may vary by different poker manufacturers):

1) Poker manufacturers arrange 54 card designs in sizes of 6x9 (54) or 7x8 (56). Because some playing cards require printing 55 or 56 cards, the additional 1 or 2 cards are usually calendar or other advertising information. The paper is also cut into corresponding sizes of 6x9 (54) or 7x8 (56).

2) Perform four-color printing and quality inspection on the front and back of the poker manufacturer. After printing, it is necessary to wait for the ink to be completely absorbed by the paper based on its ink absorption characteristics before proceeding to the next process.

3) Pre filling and drying by poker manufacturers;

4) Poker manufacturers use cement slurry to fill the back and dry it. Filling is an important process in poker production. The so-called "filling" refers to the process of uniformly applying a solution composed of starch and other viscous chemical components onto poker paper through a roller. This is because any paper under the microscope will always show symptoms of unevenness, and poker requires the paper to be very smooth to ensure sufficient smoothness, which can be made smooth by filling it with pulp. Due to the presence of moisture in the slurry, it needs to be dried at a medium to high temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius. [color=# 0000CD] [/color]

5) Poker manufacturer's steel roller squeezing. Because the paper of playing cards is thick and consists of three or more layers, if not squeezed, there may be a situation where the front and back of the card separate after playing for a long time. Ten years ago, domestic poker often had separation of front-end and back-end, but now this problem has been completely solved in large production factories. The squeezing effect is better after grouting.

6) Poker manufacturer polishing. The polishing process refers to applying (or spraying, printing) a colorless and transparent coating on the surface of printing materials. After leveling, drying, rolling, and curing, a thin and uniform transparent layer is formed on the surface of the printing material, enhancing the smoothness of the carrier surface and protecting the precision processing function of printed graphics and text. Polishing technology has become an important means of precision processing after poker printing. It not only makes the poker patterns appear more delicate, but more importantly, it is an important process in creating a moderately smooth hand feel in poker. The glossiness of poker should be determined based on the paper. If there is a transition in gloss, the poker will be too smooth and a pair of poker cards will easily slip off when stacked; If the gloss is insufficient, the poker will be too rough, making it difficult to shuffle and insert cards. (Attention website administrator: Gloss is now applied after four-color printing, and the brightness and smoothness of the poker are related to the type of gloss used.)

7) Poker manufacturer embossed fabric pattern. The effect of texture can make poker look more upscale, and many advertising poker customers hope for a textured effect. The jacquard machine consists of two parallel steel rollers. When the poker paper passes through, the texture on the steel roller presses onto the paper, creating a jacquard effect. (Note: Embossing technology is usually processed by manufacturers before or after filling, which has a certain impact on the stiffness and hardness of poker paper.)

8) Poker Factory perfume. Some customers require poker to have a special aroma, especially for some food or cosmetics advertising poker (the production process is rarely used now, such as gold-plated edges).

9) Poker manufacturers carry out a die-cutting and sorting process. Use a die-cutting machine to horizontally cut 54 playing cards into 6 sheets (6x9, 54 sheets) or 7 sheets (7x8, 56 sheets); Cut vertically into 9 sheets (6x9, 54 sheets) or 8 sheets (7x8, 56 sheets) and automatically sort them to form an arrangement with the king at the top and the little king at the bottom. At the same time, conduct quality inspections. At this point, the edges and corners of the poker are still rectangular instead of circular, and the poker is larger than the final 57x87mm.

10) Secondary die-cutting by poker manufacturers. Place the once cut and classified poker cards into an electric 57x87mm circular die-cutting machine to form the final poker core that meets the specifications.

11) Poker manufacturer's poker core heat shrink packaging. Use a packaging machine to shrink the 54 inner cores of a pair of poker cards with plastic paper. The inner core is easy to package and moisture resistant after thermal shrinkage. (Note: Self shrinking plastic film is usually used for packaging, and thermal shrinkage can cause uneven deformation of the poker.)

12) Poker manufacturers print, polish, and paste small poker boxes.

13) Poker manufacturers put the core of the poker card into a poker box, shrink it, and add gold wire. The gold wire drawing is the same as the wire drawing on the outside of the cigarette box, making it easy for users to open. (Explanation: This type of heat shrink film that does not require thermal shrinkage has poor transparency and an unsightly glossy effect.)

14) Poker manufacturer heat shrink packaging for every 10 pairs of poker. Re heat shrink packaging is designed for easy counting and quick packaging into corrugated cardboard boxes. (Note: In China, there are 10 pairs, while abroad, there are usually 12 pairs.)
