RRD has expanded its global capacity and end-to-end capabilities to produce trading cards and games in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Fueled by multi-million dollar capital investments, RRD has increased capacity at key facilities, upgraded and opened design and innovation centers, and invested in new equipment and technologies.

“RRD’s expansion reflects the growth of the collectibles market and the specialized technology and skills required to produce these products with the highest quality at scale,” said Lisa Pruett, President, RRD Integrated Packaging, Labels and Supply Chain. “By investing in advanced manufacturing, innovative design capabilities and a highly skilled workforce, RRD gives brands a single partner capable of bringing complex collectibles and games to market anywhere in the world.”

RRD is the only United States-based manufacturer with global, end-to-end, in-house capabilities that support the complete product lifecycle. A global network of design innovation hubs and manufacturing facilities spans seven countries across North America, Asia, and Europe.

RRD serves a diverse set of brands and products in the collectibles industry, including trading card games, sports, memorabilia and entertainment cards, tabletop games, and more.

Specifically for its trading card clients, RRD leverages its technology platform to address some of the industry’s greatest challenges of authenticity and scarcity.

• Rarity integrity: Using proprietary data systems, RRD manages complex randomization and drop-ratio programming to ensure the mathematical integrity of chase cards.
• Physical and data security: From design to distribution, RRD employs a robust prevention, detection, and correction security model to protect its clients’ most sensitive intellectual property.
• Advanced anti-counterfeiting: RRD utilizes holographic foils, unique serialization, ink technology, and other techniques to protect client intellectual property.
• Sustainable packaging: The expansion continues RRD’s patented hourglass-shaped paper sleeve, a sustainable alternative to plastic blister packs.

With a 37-year legacy in the collectibles industry, popular and emerging trading card and board game brands rely on RRD as their behind-the-scenes partner to design, print, kit, package, warehouse, and fulfill trading cards, games, game pieces, toys, manuals, and other collectible items at scale.
