Excellent...although we saw no close ups of how the 'cookie cutter' process works...(cutting out the card and compressing the sides so that the cards do not dog ear easily, if at all)....when you compare USPCC cards (Bicycle, Bee) to the cheap Chinese copies (produced by Chinese companies who ignore and/or willingly violate our copyright laws) you can instantly see and feel the difference between the wretched quality of the Chinese cards and those of the USPCC.
Thanks again, N2L, for the video.
I visited the USPCC plant in the spring of last year when I had a day off from a bridge tournament in Louisville (the plant is about 2 hours from Lousiville) but sadly they do not give public tours, mostly, as they said, due to security concerns expressed by the various casinos who have their cards printed in this plant as well as the consumer cards. Oh well.
This short video gives us a glimpse of what goes into making a good deck of cards.

COOL . . . wonder if there is a similar one for Plastics.

And as a side note, why do people insist on including blooper/outtakes in their videos? It's bad enough at the end but right in the middle?
