Our Verdict
Stock both — BCW for volume, DeckSentry for premium upsells
BCW is the go-to for bulk, budget card protection — ideal for high-volume sales and shipping supplies. DeckSentry fills the premium tier that BCW doesn't cover. Smart retailers stock BCW for price-conscious buyers and DeckSentry for collectors who want acid-free archival-grade protection with 99.9% crystal clarity. This two-tier approach maximises basket value and gives customers genuine choice.
