Projects We Did: Our Work at Scale
By 2026, we have completed 5,000+ projects and shipped 2.3 million+ products worldwide.
Most of our clients require NDA agreements. We cannot show most of their actual games, brand names, or production details. The cases below are from our clients, shown with their permission. They reflect the same work we do for partners around the world, and the real project types we handle every day.
Board Game “Relationship-Themed Party Game”
A Nigerian client came to our factory with a new board game project. The game had many characters and item pieces, but the production direction was still open. During the factory visit, we showed different board game samples we had made before, so the client could compare acrylic, metal and wooden pieces from real samples. After checking the artwork style and sample pieces together, the project was fixed with 9 acrylic character standees, 3 metal tokens and 3 wooden game pieces. The box also used an EVA tray, because the different piece materials needed to sit in place during packing. The project later moved into sample making, and the first order was 1,000 sets.
Block Puzzle Game “puzzle-Style Pattern Game”
A UAE client came to us with a block puzzle game idea, similar to an Uzzle-style pattern game. We talked through the structure by video call first. The early plan was plastic blocks with sticker labels. We did not use that plan in the end. On small blocks, sticker edges can lift after repeated handling, and the surface result is not stable enough.
The sample was changed to wooden blocks with UV print. There were 20 blocks in five patterns, plus 100 cards packed with shrink wrap. Inside the box, the blocks sat on the left side and the card stack on the right side. We used a simple U-shaped greyboard insert around the card area instead of making a full blister tray. Less tooling, less packing cost.
The project moved into sample making. For the U.S. market, we also helped arrange ASTM F963 / CPSC testing documents.
Board Game Packaging “Crowdfunding Box Set”
A Greek client came to us with a board game project for crowdfunding. The game pieces were already planned, but the box, rulebook and inside packing were still open. We checked the rulebook file, small parts, main board and box height first, then made the box dieline and cardboard insert layout. The client wanted the retail look and feel—not just a plain shipping carton.” There was a cardboard insert that separated the accessories and hold the rulebook and main board, so that the set could be packed nicely without a plastic tray. After receiving the sample, the client said the box and insert looked very professional amd took a unboxing video. The approved structure later moved into crowdfunding production packing.
Board Game “Baseball Player Guess Who Game”
A UK client came to us with a Guess Who-style baseball player game. The project timeline was tight, so we started with standard plastic stands instead of opening a custom mold at the beginning stage.
The first samples used off-the-shelf plastic stands for holding the character cards. The layout was tested with these standard stands first, mainly to confirm spacing between cards and player positions. After early testing, the layout was fixed, and the structure was later changed into a custom injection-molded frame for mass production.
Board Game “3D Printed Plastic Components – France Project”
A French client came to us with a board game project based on modular plastic components. The concept was defined, but the production files were not ready, so the first step was rebuilding the full set into manufacturable 3D models.
We recreated the plastic parts from the client’s reference material and produced a full prototype set using 3D printing. The system also included standard printed cards and a folded board layout, which were aligned with the plastic component spacing during sampling.
The sample stage was mainly used to verify dimensions, wall thickness consistency, connection fit between parts, and overall layout stability during gameplay.
During sampling several adjustments were made before freezing the structure for small-batch production preparation.
Board Game Modular Card & Token System – Australia Project”
We were approached with a multi component tabletop game project with a fully custom tooling plan for most of the parts including tokens and dice.
To reduce tooling cost and improve the consistency of future modules, we simplified the structure by using standard ABS bases and UV printed artwork instead of fully molded tokens. Methods of dice production were also chosen based on durability of the icon and artwork requirements, balancing engraving and printing capabilities.
The project was meant to be multi-modular so that in the future the same components could be reused with only a change of the artwork.
Card Game “Hex Card Set with Tin Box – US Project”
A US client approached us with a hexagon shaped card game in a tin box. The hardest thing was trying to find the right balance between die-cut accuracy for the hex cards and keeping the total packaging cost reasonable for a medium size production run.
The original request considered fully custom steel tooling for all card shapes. We reviewed the structure and suggested using a common die-cut system for reduction of tooling cost and maintaining the edge quality consistent for the hex geometry.
For the tin box we checked existing mold sizes to see if a close fit standard tin could be used instead of opening a new metal tooling. This reduced the initial cost and the sampling lead time.
We also clarified printing requirements on metal tin surfaces and matched production method according to artwork coverage and durability requirements.
Card Game “A6 Art Card Set”
A Lithuanian client came to us with a small-format card game project. The set used 30 A6-size cards, with 10 different card-back designs across the deck. It was not only a box order. The card size, back-side artwork, box space and paper feel all had to be checked together before sampling.
The client sent reference materials, logo files and product text, but the box artwork was not ready for production. We rebuilt the artwork on our box dieline and adjusted the layout for special paper. The box used special paper wrap on both the outside and inside. Some thin lines and small details were reduced, because textured paper does not show fine artwork like coated art paper.
After the sample was approved, the same A6 card size, card-back setup and special-paper box structure were used for production.
Card Game “Card & RPG Dice System – Germany Project”
A German client requested a compact RPG card game with a polyhedral dice set to control gameplay mechanics and randomness. We assisted the entire component optimization from the structure to the production feasibility.
We considered dice options from common acrylic RPG sets to premium resin styles, and landed on a durable solution that would be appropriate for repeated tabletop use. Card materials have been optimized for shuffle performance and consistent print quality.
The final design was cards and 7-piece RPG dice in a cost effective boxed layout for Kickstarter production.
Jigsaw Puzzle “Church Heritage Puzzle Project – Indonesia
An Indonesian church organization came to us with a large-format puzzle project for gallery-style religious display. The idea was to assemble several large puzzle artworks and display them as finished wall pieces.
The original work was divided into sets of 1,000 pieces of puzzles each per theme. We supported the production set-up including offset printing, puzzle die-cutting and packaging structure based on a small batch production requirement.
In development we also thought about the overall image layout so that the artwork can be divided into multiple panels without cutting off important visual elements at joining lines. This avoided misalignment issues when the puzzles are put together and displayed side-by-side.
The last production was planned as a small pilot batch for scaling up.
Wuxia Card Game — “Jianghu”
A Shanghai-based indie studio came to us with a deck-building game set in a martial arts world. They needed 3,000 units for a Modian crowdfunding campaign. The cards had foil-stamped faction logos and linen-texture finish. We produced the samples in 10 days. The campaign hit 400% funding. They reordered twice in six months.
English Learning Game — “Gùgōng”
A Beijing educational publisher wanted a simplified version of a palace-intrigue worker placement game for an international school English classes. They needed 5,000 units with plastic-coated player boards that could survive classroom use. We suggested a thicker 2.5mm board and rounded corners. No returns after two semesters.
Card Game for Cafes
A Chengdu cafe chain brand commissioned a card-driven reincarnation-theme party game for their brand. They wanted 1,000 units with a look that matched their industrial-style decor. We used black-core cards with matte finish and a minimalist kraft-paper box. It became their best-selling house game.
“Three Kingdoms” Spin-off
A “Three Kingdoms kills” fan designer in created a simplified “Three Kingdoms” variant for fan play. He needed 2,000 units for sale at a local comic convention. We helped him split the print run — 500 with premium UV-coated boxes for collectors, 1,500 with standard finish for retail.
Puzzle “Tang Dynasty Scroll”
A Hangzhou art studio designed a 500-piece puzzle that doubles as a hidden-object board game. The pieces needed to be thick enough for repeated disassembly but the image had to stay sharp. We tested three board densities before locking the spec. The final product is now in museum gift shops.
Mini-Game — “Sichuan Snack Bar”
A solo designer made a series of 18-card micro-games about Chinese street food culture. She wanted 500 units of each of three titles, with shared box dimensions so they stack on shelves. We designed a unified tuck-box template that cut her per-unit cost by 30%.
Board Game “Dragon Boat”
A Shenzhen publisher aimed at the overseas market with a racing game based on dragon boat festivals. They needed CE/EN71 certification for EU sales. We produced the pre-production samples, sent them to a third-party accredited lab, and delivered the full certification package with the first shipment.
Monopoly-Style Trading Game
A U.S. client brought this project to us in February. The game idea was already close to a Monopoly-style property trading game, but the physical parts were not ready for production yet. We made the first sample with a quad-fold board, paper money, pawns, dice and house tokens. The packing was adjusted once before the bulk order.
At the beginning we used standard game pieces first. No new mold at this stage. The client wanted to test the rules and artwork before putting more budget into custom parts. After sample approval, the same build went into a 3,000-set run. Before shipment, we also helped arrange SGS China testing for ASTM F963 / CPSC requirements for U.S. sales.
Clue-Style Mystery Game
A Thai client came to us with a mystery deduction board game idea. The rough direction was already close to a Clue-style game, but the physical parts were not ready for production. We helped fix the card groups and card quantity first, then prepared dieline templates for the cards, board and box.
The first images were made with AI, but some faces, rooms and board details were not suitable for direct printing. We helped the client find a designer in China to rebuild the artwork into printable files. Once the sample was approved, the same card count, board layout and packing structure was adopted for the bulk production.
Card Game “Spot-It Style Matching Game – US Project”
A US client came to us with a round-card matching game project. The game used circular cards with repeated symbols and fast visual recognition as the main play mechanic.
The first quotation was based on a simple tuck box, but for the project case we changed the packaging direction to a rigid round box. This made more sense for the card shape and gave the product a stronger shelf look than a standard square paper box.
For the cards, the main production point was die-cut accuracy. Round cards look simple, but the edge needs to stay clean across the full deck, otherwise the stack looks uneven inside the box. We treated the card size, corner-free cutting, and box inner fit together before preparing the quotation.
The final structure used round printed cards packed into a rigid round box, with the box size adjusted around the finished card stack instead of using a loose standard carton size.
Board Game “FSC Paper-Based Board Game – Europe Project”
A European client came to us with a light board game project and a clear packaging rule: keep the game as paper-based as possible and avoid unnecessary plastic.
The set included cards, a folding board, booklets, wooden pieces and punchboard tokens. The main decision was not only paper choice. Plastic usually enters the product at the packing stage — shrink wrap, trays, extra bags, sealing parts. We reviewed those parts first.
The final structure used FSC-certified paper for the cards, box wrap, board face paper and booklets. The rigid box used recycled greyboard. The insert was changed to folded paperboard instead of a plastic tray. The card deck was held with a recyclable paper band, and full-box shrink wrapping was removed.
We did not remove every piece of plastic. A small reusable PE zip-lock bag was kept for the wooden pieces, and PET sealing labels were used to keep the lid and base closed during transport. Less plastic, but still practical for shipping.
Jigsaw Puzzle “Fine Art Puzzle Collection – Australia Project”
An Australian client came to us with a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle project based on a fine artist’s original artwork. The puzzles were planned for retail and online sale, so the packaging finish mattered almost as much as the puzzle itself.
The main check was not only the puzzle piece count. We also reviewed image proportion, print detail, board thickness and box presentation, because art puzzles depend heavily on the final visual feel. A weak box or poor print finish would make the product look more like a low-cost souvenir than an artist-led puzzle line. We also suggested using our standard 500 piece puzzle cutting die, which helped avoid additional tooling costs and made the project more feasible for the initial retail run.
The structure was set as a 500-piece custom puzzle with individually packed pieces and a premium rigid lid-and-base box. This gave the set a better shelf look for gift and gallery-style retail.
Game Accessory Set “Custom Wooden Dice & Rules Insert – Europe Project”
A European tabletop game client came to us with a custom wooden dice set and small packaging project. The product looked simple at first, but the dice material, engraving size and box finish all affected the final cost and sample result.
We compared two wooden material options with the client, Schima wood and beech wood, before fixing the final dice material. The final dice used engraved schima wooden pieces, with the main letter height adjusted so the symbols stayed clear and balanced across the full set.
The package used a two-piece rigid box with printing on both the outside and inside. We also helped prepare the small fold-up rules insert, including choice of paper, how the text is laid out, the folding method and print finish so it could sit neatly inside the box without adding unnecessary cost.
After the engraving artwork was approved, the project moved into sample making and the first 500-set production.
Game Component “Custom Printed Adventurer Silhouette Wooden Meeples – Canada Project”
A Canadian tabletop game client came to us with a small custom wooden meeple project. The shapes were already planned, but the artwork included very fine decorative lines, so the main issue was not the cutting itself. It was how to keep the printed details clean on such small wooden pieces.
We first checked the vector artwork and asked the client to confirm some small jagged edges in the outlines before production. During the printing test, the light-colour meeples showed the fine gold lines clearly. For the darker colour base, we had to add a white underlayer before printing the gold, otherwise the gold would not stay bright enough.
Because the artwork lines were very fine, the white underlayer and gold layer also needed enough line thickness for stable registration. We tested the original fine line and a slightly thicker line version, then let the client choose between a finer look and a more stable production result.
After the test result was confirmed, the final bulk production followed the coloured base and gold printing method approved during sampling.
Card Game “Trading Card Set with Rarity Stickers – US Project”
A US client came to us with a custom card game project that needed one sticker packed inside each box. The card part was straightforward, but the sticker part needed more checking because the stickers had four different rarity finishes.
The final sticker mix included common, silver shimmer, gold rare and rainbow holographic prismatic versions. Some finishes had very small quantities, especially the prismatic version, but we still helped match the sticker production to the card set instead of forcing the client into a high MOQ for each sticker type.
We also checked the sticker size against the card deck and magnetic box space, so one random sticker could fit inside each box together with the full card deck. The sticker rarity mix was controlled during assembly, with one sticker randomly packed into each finished set.
After prototype checking, the project moved into 1,000-set mass production with the confirmed card deck, magnetic rigid box and four sticker rarity finishes..
Board Game “Custom Card-and-Token Game – US Project”
A US client came to us with a board game project that included several card groups, cardboard tiles, a rule sheet, plastic tokens and a fitted box insert.
The plastic tokens were one of the key parts. The client wanted a heavier and cleaner feel, so we used 40 mm plastic tokens with raised edges instead of thin paper tokens. For the art we used printed stickers on both sides instead of direct UV printing on the plastic surface.
This solution made the token artwork easier to control and helped keep the colour result more stable. It also worked better for different token colours and small artwork changes, without needing separate plastic printing setup for every design.
The box used a black HIPS insert to hold the cards, tiles and tokens in place. After the structure and token finish were confirmed, the project moved into bulk production.
