With the news Newell Brands selling USPCC to Cartamundi Group, there has been lots of talk on various platforms.

What would be the fate of Bicycle Brand Playing Cards? What about the costs and prices of printing playing cards that separated the two giants? Would we see Bicycle Standards on Cartamundi card stock?

To be honest at this point in time, all are just pure talk. The business will only be settled later this year.

However, I don’t think there’s gonna be much of a difference. Considering there are big fans of products by both companies. I highly doubt they would eliminate all the current USPCC paper stock and finish and purely use the European company’s equipment and materials.

Cartamundi has been churning out interesting innovations in recent years. Teams that are dedicated to the main consumers of their products, magicians and cardists. They’ve came up with the B9 Stock, the C9 stock – made in collaboration with cardists, and the E7 stock that’s exclusive to Ellusionist at this point in time.

With all the innovations and attention given to their consumer base, I can only expect that we have yet to see the extent of what would come out of the merging of the companies.
