[QUOTE="mr_palitoy, post: 492266, member: 137"] I believe cards to and including Palitoy 45A where printed in Hong Kong Factories, and then the ones from Palitoy 45B (and German/Clipper ESB) and after were printed in the UK (excluding factory code variations like 45cg, 45cn etc which were still printed and assembled in Hong Kong). No proof cards etc have ever come to light for Palitoy, the closest we have come are 4 unused cardbacks that popped up on ebay a few months ago which appear to be of thinner cardstock and texture to the standard printed cards according to the buyer.
