We have great pride in supporting our economy by using american based manufacturing, and delivering rewards with unparalleled quality to our backers. Thank you for making this happen!
Risks and challenges
We have had 4 successful projects funded here on kickstarter. Our last project: "Bicycle Platinum deck" is currently being printed at the USPCC and we estimate to deliver it by October.
There's nothing more important for us than getting your rewards delivered in a timely manner, and for that reason, we always ship our decks earlier than the estimated delivery date.
Without any delays from the printers, we expect to deliver the rewards for the Evolution deck by December (in time for x-mas!)
At Elite, we see you as a part of our brand, and this couldn't be possible without you and without the incredible dedication of a small but organized team with a vast experience in product development.
The design for the Evolution deck is finished, approved by USPCC and ready to be printed once we achieve our funding goal.
Thank you for being a part of the Elite brand!
The Elite Playing Cards team.
