Are these cards actually printed on Hemp paper? What is the "quality stock" made from? Thanks!

Daniel, I can only assume that the cards are actually printed on Hemp paper.I bought the cards as a gift for a friend, so I didn't actually open the package up to take a look.Vic

Possibly, though they don't say on the packaging, and their description while touting the "green" side of hemp products doesn't say "MADE FROM HEMP". Hemp is used in many products such as money, cigarette papers (how appropriate), hygiene products (it's very absorbent) etc., and because it holds its strength when wet. But really... who cares, they are a conversation piece and Bicycle cards are always top quality. My son and his buddies play poker and cribbage with them daily and they are going strong.

According to the manufacturer, no hemp was used in the manufacture of these cards.

The pages are not as heavy as card stock....but are not real paper thin like parchment...sort of an in between , if that makes sense to you.

The organic papers are made from organically grown chlorine-free pure hemp. The regular papers by this brand are made from rice, flax and a sugar-based glue, and as such, both are gluten-free. Those worried about gluten in their diets are those diagnosed with celiac disease or wheat allergy. If you don't fall in either of these categories, you shouldn't worry about it.

Textured card stock makes my cards look like I purchased them and not like I printed them from home. I can't tell you how many times people told me thanks for the lovely card. There have been absolutely no problems with the paper working in my printer and I don't think they cost any more than regular card stock. Go fancy and have fun!

They are like jumbo sized standard playing cards. They are paper with the shiny waxy coating. Just like Bicycle playing cards. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. What I bought on Amazon in the picture was not what I vot. It wasn't even the cards I was looking for. Hope this helps.

No they are not. I think you will be very happy with the quality of these cards they are very durable and not to slippery.

Yes they are boxed, typical card stock. The cards are big !! Bought for my 91yr old mom w/macular. The number & suit of the cards printed in the corner measures about 1 1/2 inches which is nice, but the cards are so big and hard to hold. I lay them out on the dining table for solitaire so she gets a little exercise at the same time ! Maybe those plastic card holders would help. Hope this answers your questions. Good Luck.

Yes they are. However, I personally would not recommend buying these cards. I was not thrilled. It is hard to explain but even though the print is bigger they do not look exactly like regular playing cards. I do not recognize them as quickly as I do a regular set of playing cards.

I never got that far, I bought it to print CD, with Mac Mountain Lion, it didn't work. All I used was plain paper and every one came out mangled on one side. So, not sure about card stock. Epson always been a good brand so maybe I just got a bad one.

Yes, they print very well. The colors are very true. I have used other brands and other papers and have not had the success that I have with Avery Matte White Half Fold Greeting Cards #8316. I use a very old program, PrintMaster 12 to print my cards. I have used it for years and have not up-graded it. I sell my Greeting cards so I want them to look very professional. This is the best paper I have used.

They're not "card stock" but are they are a nice glossy stock. I used mine to custom print DVD case inserts. Hope that helps you.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock.This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

Hi Mciver. I haven't tried printing on a glossy card stock yet, so I'm not sure if it will show a glossy or smooth finish, but I think I know exactly what you're asking. I have seen some prints that have a glossy finish from laser printers, even if it is just on a regular paper. The prints on this one has a more luster/matter finish instead of glossy (when printing pictures).

It says they are 100% pure shelled hemp seeds that are certified organic, kosher, non-gmo, gluten free and raw. It would be impossible to answer all your questions without being there in person. I personally trust that they are raw as advertised and feel they are a healthy alternative to other things we place into our bodies.

Most of the cards do have some sentiment in them, but some do not. They are very nice cards I would highly recommend buying them Saved myself a ton of money vs. buying them at the store. They are really nice quality, most have raised designs with matching envelopes.

Nylon, i'm not sure. I think that they're made of a special kind of carton with a plastic varnish. In my opnion it's the best deck you can buy and the best materials in market.
