OEM / ODM Manufacturing Process

Project & Component Mapping

Step 1: Project Review & Component Mapping

We do not quote from a loose parts list. We quote from a complete product plan.

Before pricing, we map every component: board, cards, tokens, rulebook, insert, box, and accessories. We check how they fit as one packed set. This keeps the quote accurate. It also prevents surprises later in tooling, packing, and freight. We check:

  • Board size and fold type
  • Card count and deck thickness
  • Rulebook size and page count
  • Insert and box structure
  • Punchboards, wooden parts, dice, meeples, or plastic parts after that
  • Target quantity and delivery market

Getting this order right keeps your project on budget and on schedule.

Step 2: DFM Check & Manufacturing Review

A bad sample usually starts from a design that was never checked for real production.

Before we build samples, we review your files for real-world manufacturing. We check dielines, bleed, safe zones, fold lines, card thickness, box depth, insert fit, and surface finish. We fix these issues before sampling:

  • Artwork too close to cut edge
  • Board folds that may crack after lamination
  • Cards too thick for the tuck box or insert
  • Punchboard tokens too small or weak after die-cutting
  • Box depth too tight once all parts are packed
  • Freight cost rising because box size was not controlled early

If the packed set cannot close cleanly, changing the finish will not fix it. We fix the structure first.

Step 3: Sample Production & Approval

The sample is not a photo shoot. It is the production standard.

We build the first sample to test material feel, fold strength, color accuracy, box fit, insert tightness, and total weight. You review it. You approve it. This approved sample becomes the Golden Sample. All mass production is checked against it.

After this point, changes to board size, card stock, insert, or box depth will restart cost and lead time. We keep the sample stable so your bulk order stays on track.

Step 4: Tooling & Mold Setup

We open tooling only after the Golden Sample is locked.

Tooling covers die-cut tools for cards, boards, punchboards, inserts, and boxes. For special plastic parts, we may need molds or fixtures.

We never rush tooling while the design is still moving. Once the die is made, changes cost time and money. We wait for your final approval before cutting steel.

This protects your tooling investment and keeps the project on schedule.

Step 5: Pre-Production Validation

Small errors are cheapest to catch before the full run.

We run a small pre-production batch. We check color drift, cutting position, fold accuracy, board thickness, surface finish, and component fit.

If anything does not match the Golden Sample, we stop and fix it before using more material. This step saves both time and cost.

This is why we never skip pre-production validation.

Step 6: Mass Production & Assembly

A game is not done when the parts are printed. It is done when the box closes properly.

Cards, boards, Punchboards, rulebooks, boxes, inserts, wooden pieces, dice, and accessories have to work as one packed set. During assembly, we check whether the approved packing layout still makes sense at production speed.

This is critical for B2B orders. Your distributor receives finished goods, not loose parts. Every set must be packed clean, stack flat, and ship safely.

We control assembly so your goods arrive ready for shelf or warehouse.

Step 7: Final QC & Global Shipping

A perfect product can still fail if the carton is wrong.

Before shipping, we check carton count, sets per carton, gross weight, carton size, shipping marks, and barcode labels. We match everything to your purchase order.

For B2B and retail orders, we also check pallet markings and stack height.

Small direct shipments get standard export packing. We ship by DHL, FedEx, or sea freight with full tracking. Every order leaves our factory with correct paperwork.

Why This Process Matters

Most problems do not show up early. They show up after one wrong decision forces the next.

  • A larger board changes the fold size.
  • The fold size changes the box footprint.
  • The box footprint changes insert and carton fit.
  • The carton fit changes freight cost.
  • Thicker cards can make the insert too tight.
  • A late artwork change delays sampling and mass production.

This process is not meant to slow you down. For simple projects, we keep it fast. For complex projects with many parts, retail rules, or tight deadlines, these checks protect you from costly rework.
