KEM plastic playing cards are among the most highly regarded playing cards in the world. KEM plastic playing cards are made from a unique cellulose acetate that has made them a favorite among poker players and casino dealers alike. KEM's unique cellulose acetate material will not easily mark, crease or tear the way that paper playing cards will. It is also very resilient so your KEM cards will not warp from frequent shuffling like paper playing cards. KEM cards will always return to their original flat shape after shuffling or temporary bending during gameplay. Because KEM's cellulose acetate material is water resistant, KEM cards are washable, so an accidental spilled drink no longer means the end of your deck. Simply clean them off and they are ready to be played with again and again. A well cared for deck of KEM playing cards will last for years and years, well offsetting the price difference between KEM cards and cheaper paper playing cards.
