In playing cards, the term stock refers to the material that the playing card factory uses to print onto when creating their deck of cards. The most common material used for playing cards is a heavy paper material glued together with a blue or black-colored glue. The core is what gives cards their snap, resilience to bending (less likely to crease), improved shuffle, and durability.
