Custom Board Games Printing Services
What Are Custom Board Games?
Custom board games are games that you’ve invented, designed, tested, and refined yourself. They may be inspired by one of the traditional board game formats or break exciting new ground in game design. Our clients come from all backgrounds and walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: they want to take the next step and see their creative vision realized as a beautiful, professionally manufactured board game. Most have commercial ambitions: they want to market and sell their games. Of those with an entrepreneurial aim, many have financed the production of their project through crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Others are self-financed individuals or small companies willing to invest in a high-quality product.
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 500 sets.

Custom Board Game Manufacturing
At QinPrinting, we’re dedicated to manufacturing the finest board games possible for all our clients. That’s why we’ve evolved a unique and specialized protocol for custom board game manufacturing which guarantees an excellent result every time. We go the extra mile to ensure that everything works, all components are of the highest quality, and that we complete production on schedule.
We are proud of our expert quality control team who check every stage of manufacture and production. The team monitor and intervene quickly if there are any issues to make sure that the process continues to run smoothly and the products are perfect. We also have strict cleanliness and handling regulations so none of your board game components get damaged or soiled during manufacture, assembly, and packing.
Once we’ve finished making your games, we shrink wrap them and pack them in reinforced cartons for transit so they arrive in first-class condition. At each step, our process is designed to combine efficiency with safety, precision and quality assurance.
Custom Board Game Process
Our board game manufacturing process starts with talking through your needs and discussing your design objectives.
Once we have a clear idea of the aims and scope of your project, we’ll work with you to devise the best solution within your budget and, based on that agreement, we’ll provide a detailed and comprehensive quote for the work.
When we receive your design files, we’ll check everything, suggest solutions if we discover any problems, and go through our pre-press protocols to get everything ready for printing and manufacture.
We’ll then make and give you a protype for your approval before we go into full production.
Finally, we assemble, package, and ship your board games to you. And we offer continuing support and after sale service to make sure that you’re delighted with your completed games.
Board Game Examples
Most board game designers are inspired and influenced by games they’ve enjoyed playing. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed Azul, Dominion, Mysterium, and Magic: The Gathering. Or maybe your taste is more toward traditional family favorites such as Monopoly, Labyrinth, and Clue. Whether your design is based on set collection, area control, puzzle-solving, placement, combat, or co-operation, we have a broad knowledge of board games and can help you realize your custom board game.
