KEM is a 60-year-old company that specializes in creating quality playing cards that are 100% cellulose acetate plastic. KEM plastic playing cards do not contain any vinyl, which is the material that’s typically used by other manufacturers for their "plastic" playing cards. Because of their unique composition, KEM cards can handle wear and tear like no other brand of card in the gaming industry. Pus, they also shuffle better and deal in such a way that you may never want to play with any other card ever again!
