Materials Used for Custom Player Screen
We have two main material options for making player screens. The first is a sheet of 157 gsm / 57 lb cover paper, laminated, and wrapped on either grayboard or chipboard.
Grayboard
A versatile, robust board made from compressed recycled fibers, with a gray-colored, natural look. It’s inexpensive but needs to be covered with coated paper before printing, after which it makes an excellent player screen.
ESKA Blueboard
A sturdy board made from reconstituted wood fiber, chips, and sawdust bound with a special resin.
Either board can be 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, or 3 mm, depending on your needs. The paper wrap adds about 1 mm to the overall thickness of the screen but negligible weight.
How Many Panels Are in Your Custom Player Screen?
While you can have a player screen as complicated as you like—with many folding panels, pockets, die-cuts, and more—it’s usually a good idea to keep to the simplest solutions. This is partly to stay within budget, but also to make the screens as durable and easy-to-use as possible.
2-Panel Player Screen
A bi-fold gives you two panels on either side of a central crease. It basically stands up like a book. It’s not an imperfect solution, but it limits the space behind a triangle and has limited stability.
3-Panel Player Screen
This fold involves two equidistant creases that give three panels. Two outer panels, one to the left and one to the right, fold inwards to cover the central panel when it goes into the game box, and outward, like wings, when you need the screen to stand up.
4-Panel Player Screen
A four-panel screen is created with three vertical creases, giving you four connected panels. It folds down neatly for storage in the game box and opens up into a wider display area during play.
