How horizontal playing cards flip – Landscape Playing Cards
When you design a custom playing card with a horizontal (landscape) back – you must carefully consider how you want your playing cards to look when they are flipped over to the face side – specifically how you want the faces to be oriented to the backs after the card is flipped. Once you figure out your preference in this matter, it must be clearly communicated to us – so that we print the cards with the proper orientation and give you the results you are expecting on your finished custom playing cards. In order to clarify this sometimes confusing detail to our clients – we have created these videos.
DECKS WITH HORIZONTAL FACES AND BACKS
These types of custom playing card decks can have either a side to side or a horizontal flip.This is a video of how landscape or horizontal playing cards flip from side to side.
Side to Side Playing Card Flip
This is a video of how landscape or horizontal playing cards flip horizontally.
Landscape Playing Card with Horizontal Flip
This particular deck for Wild Flavors was a deck of information cards in two languages rather than actual playing cards.
With all horizontal decks like these – which are not custom playing cards and where the backs are also landscape layout, the flip will be either side to side or horizontal.
DECKS WITH HORIZONTAL BACKS AND VERTICAL FACES
With regular playing card decks where the common back side is landscape and the faces (or the side with the numbers and pips) is vertical (portrait),
the flip will either be from the lower left hand corner or from the lower right hand corner of the card back.
On actual playing cards – hold the landscape proof in the lower right or lower left hand corner depending how you want the card to flip.
If you hold the card in the lower right and flip it so the ace of spades is upright – that is a lower right flip.
If you hold the card in the lower left corner and flip it so the ace is upright that is a lower left flip.
The best way to figure out how this will flip is to print and cut out your proof. On horizontal cards we will provide a proof showing the orientation of the ace of spades.
Print the proof – cut it out and then fold it together and then flip the mock up in your hand to confirm exactly how you want your horizontal card to flip.
In this example with the Titanic Memorial Playing Card – when you hold the card in the lower left hand corner and flip it over – the ace is upright.
