The standard sleeve supports cards up to 63.5 × 88.9 mm. Copag’s bridge cut is 6.35 mm narrower than that limit and the same height. This compares card sizes; it does not measure space inside the sleeve. The board-game sleeve called Standard American supports 56 × 87 mm cards. Copag’s bridge cut exceeds that limit by 1.15 mm in width and 1.9 mm in height; Cartamundi’s metric bridge cut matches it.
Choosing a width
Choose bridge when reducing the horizontal span of a fanned hand matters. Choose poker when the wider face better suits the layout or matches existing cards and equipment. For a shared or custom deck, compare samples with the intended players and table setup before a print run.
Reflow artwork for the chosen rectangle instead of squeezing a completed poker layout into bridge width. Borders, indices and safe areas need room on the narrower canvas. Jumbo index is a separate choice: larger rank and suit markings can appear on either cut.
Questions
Can I mix poker and bridge cards in one deck?
Their widths differ, so mixed cards can be distinguishable by sight or touch. Keep one physical cut within a playing deck.
