Board game designers are often happy to talk about the experiences they had getting their game made, and they frequently deal with decks. I would start with http://www.silcom.com/~tomjolly/design.htm http://www.silcom.com/~tomjolly/design.htm Various threads on boardgamegeek, e.g. http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/83696/printing-game-cards http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/83696/printing-game-cards , suggest looking at http://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/custom-playing-cards.html http://www.printerstudio.com/unique-ideas/custom-playing-car... or https://www.thegamecrafter.com/ https://www.thegamecrafter.com/ Printing specifically seems to be more common to outsource to canada than china. Presumably for the shipping. I'm under the impression that usually you don't do stuff in china unless you can fill a freight container. But I only know someone who deals with this, I don't have personal experience.
