Cards with the heart

A playing card with a green heart and the letter 'A' in the corners, representing the Ace of Hearts, lies on top of scattered standard playing cards with traditional red and black suits.

Our passion for well-made games, for cardboard as the raw material and for art as a communication tool has made us what we are today.

Sustainability

 

Our passion for games does not stop with the creation of exceptional cards.

At Modiano, we do all we can to minimise the environmental impact of each product, striving to gradually replace as many of our components as possible with compostable materials.

We collaborate with our suppliers to develop shared circular economy practices. All our waste is carefully collected and put back into the recycling chain, eliminating any kind of refuse and maximizing the life cycle of our products, contributing, therefore, in this way, to reduce waste to minimum.

Nature-friendly technology

 

Our playing cards are made in Italy in our factory in Trieste, where we comply with the highest environmental and production standards.

The raw materials we use are selected and tested in collaboration with suppliers who respect the specifications of the materials developed and guarantee that our cards have excellent resistance and maximum slipperiness.

This research process goes hand in hand with the constant technological evolution of our machinery, designed specifically to minimize the faults in the cards and optimise consumption.

Our playing cards are printed and varnished with state-of-the-art UV offset machines, while we have special in-house personalised equipment for the finishing and cutting stages.

With a view to increased respect for nature, we have worked to produce completely recyclable packaging for most of our products.
