The only issue - costs. It's well above $20k for two decks. But I have other ideas :mrgreen: Current probability to print with Cartamudi - 80%

Yes you are right! Waves will be be different in the middle of the card. Something like this (still a sketch):

Huh.

Yeah, on this deck, I don't think the bordered version works anywhere near as well.

However, I know others will disagree with me and, if you offer a choice, then that's fine by me! I'll be favoring the version(s) without borders. :)

Hmmmyes. I think borderless works better for this design. Do you know the guy who can put USPCC's decks into 3rd party boxes? :D :D :D Ideal solution - to print boxes in China (as I have no idea how to produce this box with cold foil elsewhere) and cards with USPCC. Remember - it's a gradient! I can't use one color foil in this project. Silver foil will be overprinted by the color/gradient I need.

Left box is the original one. Do you think that other two are better?

p.s. box's sides will be tweaked before the release if I go with #2 or #3. Front bottom boxes are all #3

And yes...I like #3 :ugdance: Well...back design ???

Ok. It's my 2nd attempt to add borders :mrgreen: And now I'll keep them in the release. IMHO borderless version of the back looks cheap (for this design).

Design is a process. I am very limited by the borderless back design. It does not work well with court cards. I can also change the color scheme from green :ugdance: . It''s the WAVE deck :ugthink:
