Frequently asked questions about these sleeves

Are these sleeves fully opaque?

Yes. The black interior makes them completely opaque, so you can use double-sided cards or protect cards with marked backs without revealing anything. This is ideal for tournament play where card concealment matters.

Can I mix sleeves from different boxes in one deck?

Dragon Shield advises against mixing sleeves from different boxes or batches. Even small differences in cut or thickness between production runs can affect shuffle consistency. For best performance, use sleeves from a single box for an entire deck.

How long do these sleeves last?

Dragon Shield sleeves are tough but not immortal. Over time, natural oils, dirt, and friction can cause wear (often called “sleeve bacon”). Replace them when they look dirty or feel sticky during shuffling. For competitive events, swap out worn sleeves to avoid any mark-related issues.

Are they safe for valuable cards?

Yes. The polypropylene material is archival safe, acid-free, and contains no PVC. This means the sleeves won’t damage your cards over time, making them suitable for long-term storage and regular play.

Care tips to extend sleeve life

To keep your Dragon Shield sleeves in top shape, store your deck in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Wash your hands before shuffling to reduce oil transfer. If sleeves become sticky, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth and let them air dry. Avoid bending the edges, and always replace any torn or creased sleeves to protect your cards.
