Envelopes for playing cards

Postby magicj » Aug 7th, '10, 16:17



..Forgive me,

i did bang it in the search engine but couldnt find any previous posts.

looking for a good, reliable websites that sell small envelopes to pop Playing cards into.

Anyone bought any before?

Forgive me if there is/was a topic on this, if so pls copy the link for my useless searching eyes.

I don't know about websites but Rymans should have something and it never hurts to check the post office.

I checked both of those myself, neither has the right size.

The only envelopes I've found that fit exactly are some buff ones that WH Smith do. Ryman's do an envelope that is maybe 1cm or so larger in each direction, but that's no big deal. They have a nice range of colours to.

I definitely saw some playing card size envelopes on a magic site, I think it was discount magic, but now I can't find them. :x

But as has been said Rymans do ones that are close enough which will save on delivery.

WH Smiths on the high street do a pack of manilla envelopes that are exactly poker card sized.

Yep - that's what I use, they are perfect. And of course if you want self-sealers try Dave Bonsall - his are real beauties if you use a JOL.

Months ago I bought 100 pay envelopes for a quid from a pound shop. They're great.

Along with some index cards and carbon paper what more could you need?

You didn't check very hard.

68x98mm (can't recall the size code, sorry) envelopes are standard for any post office, WH Smiths, Staple etc etc etc....
And fit a poker size playing card fine.

They also have a sale going on right now, I brought a large dry erase whiteboard for £4.
