KEM Plastic Playing Cards

KEM Cards began production of playing cards during the first half of the 1930s. The company’s proprietary manufacturing methods gave KEM cards the enviable title of the first mass produced plastic playing card. Made of cellulose acetate, KEM cards were bendable, washable, and retained their shape long after paper based cards had withered and died. KEM’s unique polymer gave KEM cards their distinctive texture, snap, and handle. Unlike other cards, KEM cards were able to withstand the occasional spilled beer, making them an instant hit with seasoned poker players.

KEM Playing Cards, 100% Cellulose Acetate Plastic Playing Cards, are widely regarded as the world's finest Playing Card. KEM Cards are made entirely of cellulose acetate material, the most durable plastic used today in playing card production.
