We are NotMPC.com. We print custom TCG and proxy cards in the United States with speed, precision, and clear pricing. We are a direct competitor to MPC(r) on product pricing. We are cheaper overall for most orders because shipping with us is nearly 75% cheaper, there is no tariff fee on domestic orders, and our processing is fast. We ship in one to two days and you usually receive your package in five to six days. You skip border holdups and international routing. You place an order and you play your cards sooner.

We built this service to remove friction while preserving the quality player. Our cards are nearly identical in look and weight to the well known overseas option. The difference is our coating that feels fantastic once sleeved and closely resembles the in hand experience of regular TCG cards such as Magic The Gathering and Pokemon. Shuffle feel is smooth. Fans are controlled. Cuts are clean. Colors are consistent. Your deck looks the way you planned and handles like it belongs at the table.

About our name

Yes, NotMPC is a controversial name. The choice was deliberate. The most famous TCG print service set the benchmark for years. We wanted the market to understand our position in a single breath. We are the service that offers the quality you expect from the name everyone knows, and we are not them. The name forces a comparison that we welcome. It sparked conversation at a scale larger than expected, which is understandable. It also communicates the core idea with perfect clarity. We are the US based alternative that prints fast, ships cheap, and keeps your total low. The name says it all, and the results back it up.

Why we are cheaper overall

We match the per card price you are used to. The savings come from three levers.

1. Shipping is nearly seventy five percent cheaper. Domestic carriers, domestic distances, domestic rates. You do not pay international carriage for a product that will live on your local playmat.

2. No tariff fee on domestic orders. International shipments often add a tariff fee that increases your total. We print and ship inside the United States. That removes this charge from your order.

3. Faster processing reduces waste. We print, cut, check, and ship within one to two days. Your package usually arrives in five to six days. Events do not pass you by. You do not scramble with backup prints because the order missed your deadline. Time has value and we protect it.

Run the numbers on a typical deck or prototype. Same per card price. Lower shipping. No tariff fee. Less waiting. The total drops and the schedule tightens. Cheaper overall is not a slogan. It is the math.

The waiting problem we solved

If you have ordered from overseas you know the cycle. You pay for the cards. You add premium shipping because standard is too slow. Tracking pauses at the border. The carrier requests paperwork. A tariff fee appears before delivery. Weeks pass. The deck you wanted to test this month shows up next month.

We moved production into the United States so you do not face that cycle. Your order travels within one network from our facility to your address. No international hubs. No border inspections. No multi week uncertainty. You place an order on a weekday and your weekend plan is realistic again.

What our cards feel like

Quality matters most when cards are in sleeves and in play. We tuned our coating to deliver the right glide and grip after sleeving. Not too slick. Not too sticky. Just that familiar shuffle that lets a deck move as one without clumping or sliding apart. The handling is close to regular TCG products. Magic The Gathering decks fan and pile the way you expect. Pokemon decks cut and bridge with the right resistance. That is the standard we ship.

We track color fidelity and registration across your run. Text stays crisp. Blacks stay deep. Fine lines remain clean. Borders hold symmetry through the cut. Corners are consistent. You do not pull a card that breaks immersion because it looks off next to its neighbors.

Why we refused the one to two dollars per card model

Many domestic print services price each card like a boutique item. One dollar to two dollars per card raises the bill on every playable deck and makes testing expensive. We chose a different path. We match the large competitor on per card price and remove the cost traps around it. Cheaper shipping. No tariff fee on domestic orders. Faster delivery. That is how you reach more players and creators while keeping quality high. That is how you change the business at scale.

The total cost comparison you can verify

Take a common scenario. A one hundred card order for playtesting.

• With us. Same per card price. Shipping nearly 75% cheaper. No tariff fee. Five to six days typical delivery window inside the United States.

• With them. Same per card price. Higher international shipping. Tariff fee applies. Timeline measured in multiple weeks, not days, international custom hold possible.

If you value both money and time, the result is clear. Your total is lower and your deck arrives sooner when you print with us.

Why we will last

We are not a momentary workaround. We are a long term partner for players, collectors, and creators who want real quality without international delay. Our supply chain is domestic. Our processes are documented and repeatable. Our pricing is designed for scale instead of short term spikes. This structure keeps quality high, makes timelines predictable, and supports steady growth. We plan production with real buffers, not wishful estimates, so your order lands when you need it.
