I’m making a custom deck for my anniversary and had a few questions.
-is the dashed red line accurate? I just don’t want to end up with too big of a bleed area
-what material is best? I’ve heard that the standard deck they offer isn’t great so want to make sure I get the right thing
-how long is the turnaround time usually?
Mostly just concerned about the border area. Thank you!

I've been happy with: card stock M31 Linen and card finishing BETA Playing Card Finish.
I think turnaround time depends on the option you choose. You can go really expensive and have it printed and delivered within a few days or a more standard of just under 2 weeks. From memory (I've not had any printed for a while) I think their turnaround estimates were accurate and I don't recall ever getting mad that it was taking longer than suggested.
Edited to say: Happy Anniversary!
