The Playing Card Factory creates personalised playing cards for card games, corporate and fundraising events, and gifts. You can order them online and the company will ship them to you from their Mississauga-based facility. Ordering has been made easy by using the playing card template. The cards are shipped out within four or five days from ordering.

Before launching the customised playing cards business in 2011, the owner Brent Kilner had a print shop for 28 years in Mississauga, Ontario. All the cards are specially formulated so you cannot see through cards. This is achieved by using a black middle layer that makes the cards 100% opaque.
