ARRCO Playing Cards were first printed by Arrow Playing Card Company between 1920-1935. The company was acquired by The United States Playing Card Company in 1987. This 2018 edition, marks the first ARRCO re-print since 2011.

Despite being printed on The United States Playing Card Company's Classic Stock with Magic Finish, the non-identical Jokers of this edition state 'Plastic Coated', a nod to the original design of ARRCO.

A number of unique features were also added to make this a true worker's deck including two gaff cards and a card reveal that differs depending on colour-way. Blue decks include a Blue/Red Double Backer, Black Face and an Ace of Hearts reveal on the inner tuck case flaps whilst the Red edition includes a standard Double Backer, a Duplicate Queen of Diamonds and a Jack of Clubs reveal.
