Crowdfunded Playing Cards

DeckStarter is a Playing Card Design Funding Platform Like Kickstarter

— June 3, 2014 — Art & Design
DeckStarter is a new project by The Dieline, designed as the first "dedicated funding platform for custom designed playing cards." The aim of DeckStarter is to introduce luxury playing cards to the market by partnering with brands, artists and renowned designers. To kick off Deckstarter, two designers have created their take on luxury playing cards.

The Poetic Typography playing card set comes from Debbie Millman, President of the design division at Sterling Brands, who has previously worked on projects for major brands like P&G, Nestle, Kraft and Pepsi. The 70s-inspired Thick Lines Edition comes from Aaron Draplin of the Draplin Design Co., whose clients include Nike, the Ford Motor Company and even the Obama Administration.

Just like a Kickstarter just for playing cards, you can donate to get these cards produced, or create your own set of playing cards and start a campaign to have them made.
Trend Themes
1. Crowdfunding Cards - Crowdfunding platforms tailored to playing cards, like DeckStarter, are growing in popularity, creating new opportunities for designers and brands to access the market.

3. Custom Playing Cards - Crowdfunding and design platforms like DeckStarter are providing opportunities for anyone to create and market their own custom playing cards, presenting a new avenue for entrepreneurs and creators to explore.
Industry Implications
1. Printing and Manufacturing - Printing and manufacturing companies that specialize in custom card production can use this growing trend to their advantage, offering customized production services to designers and entrepreneurs.
2. Design and Creative Services - Design and creative service providers can benefit from the rise of custom playing cards by offering their skills to help designers and entrepreneurs with personalized card designs, creating new revenue streams.
3. Gaming and Entertainment - The gaming and entertainment industries can capitalize on the popularity of luxury and custom playing cards as a potential addition to their offerings, creating innovative and unique experiences for their audiences.
