The custom-designed cards feature hand-lettered accents on a black background that give the playing cards a distinct level of mystic in comparison to traditional designs. The playing cards are printed with precision by the US Playing [Card Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customized-greeting-cards) and come packed in a case that has been printed inside and out. The DAN & DAVE Camp Cards also come packed with a nifty card that details all the ways that playing cards can be useful for staying alive in the woods. This includes using them for tinder, as a straw, as a makeshift bandage or even for lighting matches thanks to the strike strip on the side of the box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Custom-designed Playing Cards:** Opportunity to create unique and visually appealing playing cards for niche markets beyond traditional designs. - **Multi-functional Tools:** Potential to develop products that serve multiple purposes in different scenarios, such as playing cards that double as survival tools. - **Collaborations Between Brands:** Possibility of partnering with other brands to create innovative and specialized products, such as adventure-themed playing cards. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Playing Card Manufacturing:** Opportunity for playing card manufacturers to tap into niche markets by offering custom-designed and multi-functional playing cards. - **Outdoor and Camping Equipment:** Potential for outdoor and camping equipment manufacturers to incorporate multi-functional tools like playing cards into their products. - **Adventure and Lifestyle Brands:** Chance for adventure and lifestyle brands to collaborate with other industries, such as playing card manufacturers, to create unique and branded products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Card-Sized EDC Tool Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-workshop-sere-cards.md) - [Innovative Camping Multi-tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-multitools.md) - [Mid-Century Modern Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-playing-cards.md) - [Camping-Friendly Compact Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-pocketknives.md) - [Interchangeable Camping Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aecooly.md) - [Dynamic Modular Camper Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-camperkit.md) - [All-in-One Camper Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campit-camping-kit.md) - [Magician-Designed Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-playing-cards.md) - [Customizable Trading Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-card-holders.md)
