Since 1867, The United States Playing Card Company has led the world in designing and manufacturing quality playing cards That year, we began with just 20 people working together to produce 1,600 packs of cards a day, including the artistic and decorative Congress line. Although we’re proud of our heritage, we’re even more excited about our future. Our cards can be found in the emerging table-top gaming markets and are staples in the world’s most prestigious casinos. We’re leveraging the latest technologies to create cards that are more durable and tamper-proof—we’ve even developed flameproof cards astronauts can play in space. But no matter where our spirit of innovation takes us, we’ll always cherish the part we play as a uniquely American brand, standing ready whenever and wherever people come together for a game of cards.
