    Default Any suggestions on where to get a punch or other machine to cut out custom cards

    Does anybody know if there is anywhere where I can a paper punch or cutting die in the size and shape of a standard playing card (2.5"x3.5" with rounded corners) so that I can print custom game cards directly at home without having to worry that they're gonna look like crap when I cut them out?

    Google and Amazon have so far turned up nothing.

    You could try asking a local printing company or arts and crafts store. They might at least be able to point you in the right direction.

    You could probably use a Cricut machine. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Cricut in any way that I know of.

    I don't know if you would consider it cost-effective enough to want to go that route, but it should get the job done.

    Office supply stores like Staples and arts & crafts stores like Michaels or Jo-Ann Fabrics will probably carry paper cutters along the lines of this or this, which should give you clean, straight cuts, and as long as you line your cards up with the guides on the cutter you should be able to get good 90-degree corners using them, as well.

    Pair one of those with something like this,

    and you should be able to accomplish your task.
