The Birth of a USPCC Super Deck
From raw paper to casino-ready playing card product
Secure, high quality printing, good batch management and secure pre-shuffling are all key components in any playing card deck or series of decks intended for casino use.
The United States Playing Card Company has its Bee® brand cards pre-shuffled in a secure limited access area in its factory. The company says its video monitoring system is in place solely for casino production cards, monitoring the area “24/7”.
The fully automated, closed loop system starts with uncut sheets of paper and finishes with high quality decks in secure, tamper-evident packaging. USPCC says security is built into the production process and focuses on two key elements.
First, USPCC removes as much of the human element as possible. Second the company verifies the integrity of each pre-shuffled deck; decks that are GLI Certified random.
The process is a highly proprietary system, one that was custom-built to USPCC’s specifications that were driven by intensive market research around the globe. It is secure and is the future of playing card delivery—once a sheet enters the preshuffle line, a human hand is not required to touch it until the sealed deck is loaded into the shipping carton. This maximises quality and security from the point of manufacture through dealing on the table.
