Production update: tuckboxes

Hi all!
We hope you are well and safe. We got some pictures of the tuckboxes and they are ready. Too bad the decks are late - as always - and we need to wait for December.
Anyway, here is the status
production status
Ravn X LTD signatures
We will receive 750 tuckboxes here in Stockholm and sign all of them (double signature). Then we ship them back to the factory and they will be filled with cards and sealed with the custom seal:

Ravn IIII tuckboxes
We got pictures of the tuckboxes, printed and ready to be filled with decks. The pictures are not great because they arrive from the printer, but they give the idea :)
We are very happy with the outcome and the depth of the blind embossed areas of the trees.

We show Ravn X tuckboxes when we get them here.
We want to share a couple of kickstarter projects we like and backed.
Tale of the Tempest by TGW and Lotrek
A gorgeously designed deck of cards evoking classic style and utility designed for Players, Collectors, Card Enthusiasts and Practitioners of the Magic Arts. The Tale of the Tempest Playing Cards immortalizes the legend of, magician and illusionist, The Great Wylenti and his ill-begotten quest to uncover mysteries worthy of his name, the torrential tempest that be felled his expedition and his relentless journey to be reunited with the beautiful Lady Eliza.
If you are more into cardistry and modern geometric design, check this out. The Springs 2020 playing cards are designed by the Red Dot Design Award Winner, Laita Studio. Together with 52 Wonders, the Springs deck is brought to you. This collectible deck of playing cards with an innovative design sets you apart.
That's all for now, in the next update we show the Ravn X version in all its beauty. We got a couple of blurry pictures that we do not want to publish.
Stay tuned and stay safe
Cheers

Production Update: USPCC and mini decks
over 3 years ago

Hi all!
Finally, after weeks of solicitations, we managed to sign the contract with USPCC, which is 3 weeks late.
Here is how the production status looks.
production status
The estimated completion date for decks does not look good if we consider that a part has to be gilded and then assembled (tuckbox+seal).
The delays and the lead times are ridiculous.
Mini decks
We printed these in China at WJPCC and they are ready. USPCC does not print mini-decks in the US, they outsource to China, so we thought of doing it ourselves and we get them in a very reasonable time.

Hi all!
a quick update with pictures from the fulfillment center about the Ravn4 items.
There is already a delay at USPCC, and they are 3 weeks late with the delivery of the hard proofs. Maybe today, we get the digital proofs. The pre-press is taking forever; even if we inquired every day and solicited it, we are still waiting.
production status
Mini decks and brick boxes should be ready next week.
4 items are ready!
The coin, stickers, and the 2 pins are ready.
We got ugly pictures from the fulfillment center.

And a decent picture of the sample we received today.

I hope to get the digital proofs today, and the hard proofs next week.
Once the hard proofs are approved they count 6 weeks if they are on time.
Stay tuned!

Hi all!
I hope you are well. Today just a quick update about the production status, which is proceeding smoothly. USPCC is quite slow... we were expecting the digital proofs this week, but they told us we will get them next week.
Here is a clear overview:
production status
Final numbers for Ravn X LTD: 750 units in total.
Stay tuned and have a great week!

Hi all!
first of all, thank you for completing the survey! 90% of you did it, and I hope the rest does it as soon as possible. Completing the survey is important for us, so we get a relatively precise count of the decks and items we need to order.
At the moment the count of RAVN X LTD is 672 and 99 backers did not complete the survey. They have the chance to add max 2 on top of their pledge and we assume that max 50% of them will do it. Probably the final count of LTD will be 722 in total. But we wait a little more before we set it in stone.
Decks: lead time
Pre-flight takes 2 weeks, and we initiated it on August 24th. The final files have to be inspected and if there is something wrong we will fix them. After pre-flight add 2 weeks for digital proofs and hard proofs. Once approved and contract is signed, count 4-6 weeks for the production (it is called lead time).
What's next
We lock the backerkit orders as soon as USPCC gets back to us with info about the preflight (probably the 7th of September). At that moment the order starts and they need to know how many decks are going to be printed. Credit cards will be charged as well.
After that, it is only waiting time and out of our control.
Time is Magic Playing Cards
Time is Magic live now on kickstarter created magician Gary Sumpter. Time is Magic is a high quality deck of time/steampunk style cards with built in animations and gold foiled box. Great for collectors and magicians.
