How durable are Talking Point Cards products?Updated 5 months ago

All our products are designed to last years (decades, even). They are intended to be a multi-generational tool if properly cared for. They are resistant to moisture and small spills, they can withstand travelling and they hold up very well under frequent use.

Here are the specific materials that we use on our products:

Our conversation starter cards are made from FSC-certified, 300 gsm smooth German black-core card stock with an aqueous coating. What this means:

• Multiple paper layers increase flexibility and durability.
• Smooth cards pick up less dirt and grease.
• Coating protects against humidity, moisture and frequent handling.
• Heavy cardstock won’t tear or bend easily.
• All the material is certifiably sustainably sourced.

The boxes are made from heavy-duty FSC-certified paper stock with an aqueous coating and optional UV-gloss ink for aesthetic, packaged in compostable shrink wrap. In short:

• The box is very strong. You can drop it, kick it, shove it around and it will protect the cards.
• It looks great. The colours won’t fade quickly* and the gloss ink picks up light beautifully.
• It is 100% recyclable and compostable. Even the plastic wrap will break down to leave no waste.

* All colours will inevitably fade over time, but our protection ensures it will take a long time (unless you leave it in direct sunlight every day!)
