WE' RE BST
- Shenzhen Best Playing Cards Co., Ltd. Also known as BST (short for bai si te from the Chinese name), has printed millions of playing cards, game cards, tarot cards, flashcards, and board game since 2017. We print for a huge range of different companies across the globe, working with thousands of independent creators, publishers, and businesses. We may be oceans apart, but our feedback and response are quicker than you expect. Working with us, you will find that we are closer to you than the manufacturer next door.
WHERE WE CAME FROM
- A few years back, our founder Ken Xie was a successful businessman and has years of experience in the printing industry. He noticed more and more international buyers came to China to print. It’s an affordable solution and can deliver the same high-quality printing as other printers abroad. Among these buyers, some are very professional like publishers. Some are small and medium-sized enterprises that have purchasing desires but lack experience. Customers’needs are often diversified and personalized, especially with e-commerce platform sellers and crowdfunding clients. They purchase directly from manufacturers to obtain price advantages, but these printing factories are also difficult to meet customer requirements. Inspired by how much more he could do to help small businesses be more successful online, Ken decided to start his own factory. Our friendly and talented sales team handles customer service and prepress, and the factory handles production and logistics. Together we maintain the best prices while providing top-quality printing and customer service.
HOW WE GOT HERE
- We always consider ourselves more than just a printing company. People always come first, that includes our customers and employees. The more we focus on our employees by offering proper & helpful training and improving the working condition, the more possible that our customers can get better service and great quality products, this is also what BST has been working hard to achieve for years.
