As such, the overall board game production process is very detailed, and can sometimes be quite long.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the paper used for a seemingly simple piece such as a playing card can have a lot of different potential cores, weights, coatings and processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boxes also come in various thicknesses and sizes depending on how durable you\u2019d prefer your game to be. The size of your board game box, its overall look and its feel can also impact which material is best for you and affect the board game manufacturing process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in many games, there are other components such as miniatures, dice, wooden pieces, and accessories, all of which need to be specified in precise detail so your game looks and works in the exact way you expect it to.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ve explained the full manufacturing and production process for custom board games, from determining your specifications to putting your game into mass production.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this content helps you if you\u2019re planning to produce a board game.

One of the differences is the printing method that\u2019s used.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sample games are printed by digital printers that use a toner moving along the page. However, for a production board game, the printers use plates that stamp the page with the desired color and design. Generally, there are four metal plates, one for each of the four CMYK colors.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>You need top-of-the-line printing machines.<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During printing, each metal plate is engraved with a design of one color alone. Throughout the printing process, the page moves under the four plates, and each plate stamps the page with a designated color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four colors are enough to make a complete picture. During the printing stage, we need to check that the shades and color mixes used on the plates stay consistent to avoid your print potentially coming out faded or inconsistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The level of perfection depends on three things:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your design files<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The competency of the machine operator<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The printing machine itself<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Hero Time, we use the highest-quality printing machine: The Heidelberg Speedmaster. This type of machine offers several major advantages, including color consistency, color density and minimal registration issues (position misalignment in any overlapped, printed patterns).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following printing, we need to make sure that the color of your game cards, game boards, and any other items remains consistent and doesn\u2019t fade away, even after several years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, we put an oil coating or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/herotime1.com\/academy\/pieces\/playing-card-finishes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lamination on your paper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Both the coating and lamination are available in matte or glossy finishes. Some game publishers opt for a coarse linen finish, where the surface of the card appears to have lines.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the print and finish have been done, we move to the step of constructing the game pieces and box. In this stage, we take cardboard (depending on the thickness you chose) and glue the print onto it, giving your game a professional appearance.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Glue &amp; Sticking<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever seen some crooked pieces in board games, uneven sides, or paper that peels off the cardboard? That is what happens if you don\u2019t keep a close eye on the glue and sticking part of the manufacturing process of a board game.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After printing, the paper passes under large metal rollers with glue, then a person or machine is required to stick the cardboard to the paper. This process is challenging and needs to be carried out carefully to ensure your game comes out of the printing process looking its very best.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Cutting Process\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your game board, cards and other items are printed and glued together, it\u2019s time to either cut the printed items into individual pieces, or keep them on a single board and ready them to be punched out of the cardboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting is an essential process. When it goes wrong, it has a direct effect on the quality of the game. There\u2019s no going back if cutting is performed incorrectly, making it important to select a manufacturer who takes great care during this step in the production of your game.<\/span><\/p><p><b>The cutting process is simple<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the paper and cardboard go into a press machine. The press machine has a cutting mold attached to it with small knives, which are organized according to the shape of the game pieces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These knives need to be sharp and exact. Otherwise, when a customer receives your game as a finished product and attempts to punch out each piece, a small part of the paper might come off from the piece, or the cardboard could crack and fall apart.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Producing Miniatures<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your board game uses miniatures, you\u2019ll need to design and manufacture these as part of the production process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two ways to produce miniatures. One is by 3D printing machine, where the factory in charge of your board game will use an STL file to directly print the miniature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second is via injection molding, where the factory will first make a wax sculpture, then use the sculpture to create a mold. The material of the miniature (typically PVC) is then injected into the mold and allowed to dry, creating each miniature.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these processes are done by automated machinery &#8212; the difference is that an injection mold does so faster and much more cheaply.
