The Trading Card Production Line: A Panini America World Premiere Video

I had the distinct pleasure of spending the utmost in quality time last week at our production facility in Allen, Texas, feasting on the sights, sounds and utterly blissful sensory overload that is the trading card production process. It was my first time to witness the wizardry firsthand.

And you know what they say: You never forget your first time.

I could’ve stood there soaking it in all day, but my trusty tour guide on this monumental morning, Stephanie Carlson, Panini America‘s Vice President of Production, had real work to do to ensure the product actually got out on time.

So I finally got out of her way and headed back to the office with tons of great footage to share with loyal readers of The Knight’s Lance for weeks to come, starting with, well, this.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes look, we take you right to the production line to watch 2010 Donruss Gridiron Gear Football being cut, collated, packed and boxed.

Get your popcorn ready.
