The Dragon Shield story began in 1999, in the backroom of a Danish gaming store with a gamer who knew card game accessories could be better, and for over 20 years, Dragon Shield has been the market leader and standard bearer in high-quality sleeves. In 2024, we celebrated our 25th anniversary, but one thing has always remained the same: We are still gamers, and that is reflected in everything we do.
