MPC · Playing Cards
MPC, short for Make Playing Cards, is a print-on-demand factory based in Hong Kong that specialises in custom and indie playing card decks. Its catalogue spans projects from independent designers, crowdfunded editions and limited runs, which has turned the brand into a regular reference for collectors and creators looking for short-run production with a professional finish.
What sets MPC apart within the playing card scene:
- Print-on-demand model: enables small print runs, giving independent creators access to professional manufacturing.
- Range of finishes: different paper stocks and coatings, suited to cardistry, magic or classic card games.
- Designer-led decks: many releases come from independent illustrators, with artwork that steps away from mainstream catalogues.
At The Joker House we curate MPC titles aimed at collectors, cardistry practitioners and players across the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe who want a deck with more personality than standard editions. A useful route for expanding a collection with author-driven pieces that rarely appear in generalist shops.
