BOARD GAME & COLLECTOR'S EDITION PRODUCTION IN THE EU

Made in the EU — no import duties, no sea freight · All components from one supplier · Physical prototypes before production · Palletised EU delivery
Why produce your game in the EU
Weeks, not months at sea
Production in Poland means no six-week ocean freight, no customs clearance and no import duties inside the EU. When a print run slips in Asia, your Kickstarter delivery date slips by a quarter. Here it slips by days — and you can drive to the factory.
Every component under one roof
Rulebooks, sourcebooks, card decks in several sizes, boards, tokens, boxes with lift-off lids, promo inserts — quoted, produced, collated and shrink-wrapped as one order. You deal with one contact, not five factories and a freight forwarder.
Prototypes you can actually play
Where a project calls for it, we agree a pre-production sample before the run: printed, bound and finished — the exact stock, lamination and box construction. You check card feel, box fit and colour before mass production, not after.
Collector's editions with real craft
Clamshell boxes with foam cut to the shape of a game case, anti-scratch lamination, foil stamping, artbooks with sewn bindings, metal dog tags, button sets. If your special edition needs a component nobody stocks, we source and make it.

Specifications
What comes up most often. Not a list of limits — if a game needs it, ask. What we do not print ourselves we source from our suppliers in Poland.

| Printed books | Saddle-stitched rulebooks, PUR or sewn hardcover campaign books, artbooks with printed endpapers and foldable inserts |
| Components | Wooden meeples and cubes, dice, plastic miniatures and trays, metal coins, fabric bags — sourced from our supplier network in Poland and assembled together with the printed parts |

Every specification is quoted as a whole, so any change means a new quotation.
What our clients say
“…Aber mit der Offerte kam auch gleich ein Dummy, und der haute uns weg: Erstmals sahen wir in Originalgrösse und in bestem Karton gezimmert genau das in unserer Hand, was wir immer gewollt hatten und was «unmöglich» schien! Und ich muss sagen: Der Preis stimmte…”

Frequently asked questions
Before the campaign goes live. We will quote the full component list so your funding goal and pledge levels are based on real numbers, and we will tell you honestly how long production takes. Campaigns that budget from guesses are the ones that end up apologising to backers.
It depends on the component mix — card decks and boxes have different economics than books. Send us your component list and we will tell you where the run size starts to make sense, and where the price breaks are.
Yes, and we recommend it. We produce a printed, bound and finished sample on the actual stock — the exact cards, box and rulebook. Colour, card feel and box fit are checked before the full run.
Yes. Cards are collated into decks and shrink-wrapped, components are boxed, lids are fitted, boxes are shrink-wrapped and packed into outer cartons on pallets — ready for your fulfilment partner or distributor.
We deliver palletised across Europe within days of production and worldwide on request — typically to your fulfilment partner’s warehouse. Producing inside the EU also means no import duties on European deliveries.
The paper and board side is entirely ours: cards, books, boards, boxes and inserts. For metal, plastic and fabric items — dog tags, buttons, foam inserts — we source and coordinate them with proven partners, as we did for the R-Type and Raging Justice editions.
Get your game production quote
Send us your component list — the more detail, the more accurate the offer. Attach a spec sheet or a rough breakdown and we will come back with a detailed quotation, usually within one business day.
Helpful, not required. Our book specification guide explains format, paper and binding, and the file preparation guide covers bleed, colour and export. Tell us what you know — we check everything and come back with anything that needs fixing.
