Boulder Solid 2/2

Weil es uns wichtig ist, dass der Boulder Solid lokal produziert wird. Wir wollen mit dem Boulder Solid die Produktionsketten so kurz wie möglich halten, um nachhaltig und umweltverträglich zu handeln. Die Unterscheidung zwischen dem Boulder Solid für Amerika und Europa bzw. APAC kommt daher, dass die in Amerika erhältliche Deckboxen vor Ort in den USA beschafft und produziert werden, während der europäische und der APAC Boulder Solid in Deutschland hergestellt wird.
Aktuell sind nur die acht erhältlichen Farben geplant, wir schließen aber natürlich nichts aus.
Bisher gibt es dazu keine Pläne, aber wir sagen niemals nie!

Our RTE Boulder is produced in the South Palatinate, based in southwest Germany.
Our RTE Boulder is neither degradable nor compostable under domestic or industrial conditions.
The material consists of a waste product from paper production. The basic component is wood from the local Black Forest.

Cortex 2/2

Which sleeves you need depends on the TCG you play. For example, Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards are the same size, so you can use our standard size sleeves. However, if you want to protect your Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Japanese size sleeves should be your choice.
For now, we have no plans to launch other sizes, but never say never.
We wanted to provide high-quality sleeves, that won't break the bank, but also won't break the first time you use them. Great shuffle-feel, extreme durability, remarkable opacity - all at great value.

Cortex 1/2

While our Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves are the best of the best we can produce, the Ultimate Guard Cortex sleeves are a good alternative at an attractive price point. We have used all our know-how to develop the perfect everyday sleeve for you. The result is a long-lasting sleeve with a very good shuffle-feel.
The difference is simply in the surface finish of the front of our sleeves. Glossy is the standard finishing of our and other sleeves on the market. Glossy has the advantage that it does not distort the colors of the card and you always have an unaltered view of the artwork on your cards. However, it has the disadvantage that the sleeves can tend to reflect in bright environments. With the matte finish you don't have this problem, but the colors may not look as brilliant.
You can be sure that we're already working on bringing new colors to the market.
We make sure our sleeves have a fully opaque back side. The purpose is to avoid any chance of cheating in a tournament.

Boulder Solid 1/2

Das Material des Boulder Solid ist im Gegensatz zum originalen Boulder absolut blickdickt. Zudem hat der Boulder Solid keine Soft-Touch-Oberfläche, fühlt sich also etwas mehr wie der RTE Boulder an.
Nein, der Boulder Solid ist eine zusätzliche Produktvariante, von der weder der klassische Boulder, noch der RTE Boulder betroffen sind.
Das Produkt ist in Sachen Material, Funktionalität und Größe dasselbe. Der einzige Unterschied: Der in Europa und APAC erhältliche Boulder hat bereits unser neues Logo, der amerikanische Boulder noch nicht.
