Founded in 1885, the United States Playing Card Company( USPCC) has been a leader in playing card manufacturing for over 140 years. President Craig Townsend shares some details of the company’ s history:“ Our flagship brand, Bicycle, has become synonymous with quality and tradition, making its mark across generations. From family game nights to professional cardistry, magic, and even pop culture milestones, our products have been part of countless iconic moments of play and entertainment.
“ Our decks have also played a remarkable role in history. During World War II, for example, USPCC created the secret‘ MAP deck,’ a deck of Bicycle playing cards that concealed escape maps to help Allied prisoners of war find their way to freedom. Our playing cards have also been launched into space with NASA, carried by soldiers in conflicts, and used in some of the most historic gaming moments worldwide.

Bicycle is known for its iconic design, unmatched quality, and history. We also have casino brands such as Bee, which can be found in most major casinos across North America. With a vertically integrated supply chain, we maintain consistent quality and global distribution, ensuring that every deck meets the highest standards.”
