Print 5. Manufacture 6. Printing your Game Print production is the first process in the manufacturing of any card or board game and it is the most intricate, important, and detail-oriented aspect of your game production. Here you will select the types of materials being utilized for your game components.

You will also need to determine the various printing, coating, diecutting, and finishing operations needed to manufacture your game. Materials like, paper, cardboard, chipboard, plastic, composite, wood to name a few; or coating options, like, acqueous, UV, laminate, dull, gloss, matt, linen finishes; and diecutting options like, embossing, foil stamping, round corners, thermography - all of which will enhance the final look adn feel of the game.

There are many production options that will impact the quality and cost-effectiveness for the overall look and feel of your finished product. We are here to help. Our years of experience in the commercial print business, along with our years of consulting and working with game inventors will help you make the best decision for the production of your game within your budget.

Manufacturing the Game The actual manufacturing of the cards, tuck box, gameboard, components and other parts of your game require due diligence to make sure that the quality of materials will give you the look you want, the durability you need, and the fully assembled game all at the estimated costs to meet your budget.

We offer USA and overseas printing and manufacturing options to meet any budget. Assembly of your Game The last process in the production of your game requires a lot of thought on what look the inside of your game box should contain. Even if you are only making a deck of cards, the box type and design are important factors. Whether it be a tuck box,one with a hang tag, a two piece box, tin etc, the overall size and look should be taken into account as to how you will market your game.

Think about the impact you want the game to have at the point of purchase and when the gameplayers open the game for first time play. Platforms and inserts in the game box to hold the components can be made of inexpensive chipboard, with simple construction, or elaborate pieces of E-flute to compartmentalize each of the components. Die cut foam can be an interesting and economical platform as well.
