The larger cardboard pieces are used more as map tiles for board games, while the smaller pieces are usually used as small tokens.\u00a0<\/p>

As mentioned, these pieces can be anywhere between 1-3mm thick.\u00a0<\/p> When designing the token sheets, you should keep in mind that the cutting machine will not cut properly in a clean way a sheet that is too large.

Also, if you want to save on shipping, it might be a good idea to cut some loose weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The Wooden game pieces are a massive part of board games, and they come in a few standard shapes and with a multitude of custom shapes. multitude of custom shapes. multitude of custom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6523,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pieces"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\"Cardboard Tokens\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
