Poker, bridge and maker cuts

Check the maker’s finished dimensions when a deck is labelled standard. Copag’s poker and bridge cuts have the same height, with a narrower bridge width; Cartamundi publishes nearby metric cuts under those names.

Maker / formatPublished size
Copag poker2.5 × 3.5 in
Copag bridge2.25 × 3.5 in
Cartamundi poker63 × 88 mm
Cartamundi bridge56 × 87 mm

The metric cuts come from Cartamundi’s card templates; the inch cuts above come from Copag. These are named products, not regional standards.

For the handling and artwork differences, see poker size vs bridge size. For a fitted box, measure the complete finished deck under normal compression; the cited sources do not give its thickness.

Questions

What size is a jumbo playing card?

The MakePlayingCards jumbo product is 3.5 × 5 in. Ultra Pro’s oversized toploader supports items up to 3.5 × 5.13 in (88.9 × 130.18 mm), which covers this footprint.

Jumbo index means larger rank and suit markings, so a jumbo-index deck can still use poker or bridge width. Check the finished dimensions to distinguish larger markings from a physically larger card.

What size are mini playing cards?

MakePlayingCards’ mini cut is 1.75 × 2.5 in. Mini and patience products can use other cuts, so choose sleeves from the product dimensions rather than the name.

Is Standard American a poker sleeve?

The cited Standard American board-game sleeve supports 56 × 87 mm (2.2 × 3.43 in) cards, smaller on both axes than the Copag poker cut. Use the standard trading-card sleeve listed above for poker cards; card sleeve sizes separates the similarly named classes.
