Greener Card Games
Our commitment to greener game cards
Less plastic for a better future.
Our commitments as a responsible manufacturer means we are continually looking for ways to reduce our as well as your carbon footprints when manufacturing cards. The latest measure sees reduced plastic usage on your custom card game decks.
What exactly changed?
We are using less plastic packaging for our cards. Instead of using shrinkwrapping on every single deck of cards that we produce regardless of whether a box is ordered or not, we have either removed the shrinkwrap completely or changed to use a small card band (to keep the cards together).
Basically, there are 4 scenarios which we have conveniently outlined below:
- Shrinkwrapping on cards is used - if no box is chosen
- Small paper card band on cards is used - if any cardboard box is chosen
- Small plastic card band on cards is used - if any plastic box is chosen
- No plastic on cards is used - if tuck box is chosen. The tuck box itself will still be shrinkwrapped externally for protection
It may not seem like a big change but when you are manufacturing tens of thousands of decks a day, this translates to a heap load of plastic. Taking this little step will reduce our plastic use significantly whilst still keeping the same quality that you have come to expect from BGM. At this moment in time, we are unable to completely remove all plastic as the plastic does play an integral part in keeping your cards together and in pristine condition when they reach you. We're always on the lookout for more ways on how we can play our part in saving the earth whilst keeping your costs down.

We're sure all our customers will welcome this change where we try to do our part in creating a more sustainable future. If you have any questions about this change, please contact us.
