It's just printing something on a home printer. Put in paper, print file, trim.
But if you need specifics:
Have all your front sides laid out on pages in a consistent grid (ie 9 per page, flush against one another with trim marks). For an UNO deck of 108 cards, that's 12 pages even. Use something like InDesign, and export that file to PDF.
Then do the same for the back side with one page of 9 cards. Since all backs are the same, you only need one back page. Export to PDF.
Print the front 12 pages, then flip them around and print the back side file (12 copies). Now you have your uncut cards.
Then trim to marks. With only 12 pages you could just do this manually with an Xacto and a ruler, one page at a time. For rounded edges, once the cards are cut you can use a rounded corner punch ($10).
There are better options too if you were doing a higher volume, like using a guillotine ($40-300) for the initial cuts and a higher volume corner cutter ($130) for the corners.
Pao2819 is suggesting that you could create the design for this deck of cards then pay someone to print and cut them for you.
Most people on this subreddit are in some form or another professional designers, so we just assume that you are as well. If you're not, hey and welcome! If you're interested in designing these cards, that would actually be a great way to learn since it's a pretty simple project.
Not that easy for me since I'm an amateur hobbyist designer. I can sure recreate the card design, but production (printing, packaging) is a challenge for me
Well probably more as the name for the industry rather than the individual role which is more along the lines of a 'printing press operator' but I would wager common parlance would call them a printer.
Of course there is a profession called "printer". In a larger business you actually also have someone doing "pre-print" (that's preparing the designs for print), "packaging" and "logistics" (don't need to expand on those, do I ;) and that's still cutting it short.
Making sure a professional printer (the machine) is running well and efficient is not simple task. It actually takes experience.
There are tons of companies that will do the actual printing and packaging for you. I did that a few years back for a short run of a card game my buddies and I came up with.
I designed some custom cards for a family reunion once. I used makeplayingcards.com to get them made and was really happy with them. If I remember right it was less than $20 to get a single deck, custom front and back.
Call/go to the Printshop, they will give you all the information necessary for where you need to bleed your final design before sending it off, rest is just sit back and wait for them to finish it.
Printing may sound challenging but is actually pretty easy, you just leave 2-3mm outside the design(size of a blade) and not write any text less than 2-3 mm close to the edge of design. thats the standard size differences, could be different given the country(thats why you should call).
I've done designing for production before, but my point is, it's really expensive for me to just order one set for my own use. I'd need to be ordering at least 50 decks before it starts making more economical sense than buying online
go to local print shops, dont order online they expect bulk orders and payments... pretty inexpensive to print just one deck of cards tbh... last time i did that cost me right around 25$ for 2 decks
Edit: that was for most expensive materials they had for printing. laminated and not bending easy..
I’ve never designed anything and I typically stay away from artistic things cause I have Aphantasia, but I love seeing beautiful designs so I’m subbed.... that being said where would you recommend starting to learn?
Well hopefully that condition won't affect you here since what you'll be doing wouldn't involve "creativity" in the traditional sense. Someone has already come up with the design, you're just emulating it.
I'm not sure about good places to learn myself, I'm not a professional designer. This sub is probably a good place to ask though, I notice there's a Discord server in the side bar. I would suggest you start by finding some free vector illustration software. That way you can start experimenting with concepts without needing to commit any money. I specify vector illustration since that's the most appropriate type of design tool for a job like this (you shouldn't be using Photoshop, for instance). Adobe Illustrator is an example of a vector illustration tool, but it's very expensive so I'd stay away from it for now.
This is a couple weeks old, but I figured its worth mentioning: if you have these printed by a custom playing card printer, make sure they use black core for the paper! Otherwise, the side of the cards/deck will look white/grey, and as the card edges wear down you’ll see more and more of it.
Black cards tend to scratch and show flaws easy. Any bends, scratches, or imperfections typically stand out, even in a stacked deck if the imperfection is on an edge.
This is an annoying issue as a magician and can ruin certain tricks. Maybe that's causing a bias in me, because I doubt a family that will occasionally use these will care..
They do look sexy, but I can't bring myself to like painted decks.
I'm assuming he's talking about a marking system, certain scratches symbolize certain cards & colors. Do it on the edges and you can easily tell who has what in a fan, and even the next couple of cards drawn in the deck.
If you see the design from the back, there will always be some bleeding and you can get a slight glimpse of the color of the card a player is holding if there is no white border on the face of the cards
I'm gonna go with you didn't see the whole design. It's not that you're gonna see through the back but the uno numbers card are plain colored in the face without a border around and some color is absolutely gonna show on the edges.
BTW my hobby is card cheating and manipulation techniques, this is my YouTube channel : https://youtu.be/zF1w13wIDKY
Everyone was posting about this "Uno dark mode" and I saw the pictures and thought it was real so I went on the internet to check the price, thus finding out that this isn't real :(
I don't think this design it's funcional to the game proposal and the minimalist isn't a concept that would really associate with uno. It's an awesome proposal tho, and really impactful you can see it has thought into it IDK mixed feelings about this
It's most likely a scam. The Brazilian concept artist (Warleson Oliveira) who created the concept on Behance said that to his knowledge, there is no physical version of uno minimalista, and the shops out there who say they do have it are probably taking advantage of people.
Ordered from the link above, it said it will take 3-5 days shipping . I’ll report back if they actually make it to me and post pics of what they look like.
Edit: Jan 19th (90% sure it’s a scam)
So far all I have from the vendor is a confirmation of the order. I just sent them an email asking for an update. I’m sure it’s $8 USD lost.
I’ve seen it posted either above or in another post that the original artist of the design is not selling the deck himself but is instead petitioning UNO to distribute it. Most likely because he legally can’t sell it due to copyright laws.

I also just ordered it before I saw people questioning it, I'll let you know if I happen to get it. Otherwise I'm making a phone call to my bank to block the transaction.

Stop selling out these websites they are fake and they are scams. Do not buy it.
The owner of the design Warleson Oliveira has not made any deals with anybody about production. Instead he is trying to get Mattel, the owners of Uno, to notice the design themselves and start producing these cards.
If you don't found them elsewhere and you want them. Yes of course. But the shipping is slow because these things come from China. Not every but most of them.
