Board games are complex products, made from different materials, printed with different techniques, packaged in different ways, and shipped across the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of your game is affected by lots of variables, including your box size, component count, material choices, and even your design and color choice for your cards.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving out key information means your manufacturing quote will be based on assumptions. If those assumptions are wrong, you could be hit with unexpected price changes or delays that affect your production when these assumptions need to be revised.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good quality quote request helps your manufacturer:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand your game in full<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give you an accurate and timely price<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advise you on potential cost-saving options<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent mistakes during production of your game<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential Information to Include in Your Quote Request<\/span><\/h2><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game Overview<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with a short summary of your game. This helps your manufacturer quickly understand what kind of product you\u2019re making.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include your game name (a working title is fine), the type of game you\u2019re making (for example, a card game, light board game, heavy tabletop RPG, party game, etc.), your target audience, your game\u2019s player count, and the expected playtime).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is this a good practice for manufacturing &#8212; it also helps you define your game well as a commercial product, which is important for reaching your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/herotime1.com\/academy\/marketing\/identify-your-games-target-audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">target audience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Order Quantity<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufacturers need to know how many copies you plan to order. You can request quotes for multiple quantities to compare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our contact form includes a field for order quantity. When you request a quote, we\u2019ll send you pricing for several quantities so you get a full understanding of which manufacturing option is the best value for your game.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in pricing for specific quantities, let us know what breakpoints you\u2019d like to compare when you submit your quote (e.g. 1,000 units vs. 2,000 units vs. 5,000 units).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing per unit usually decreases as quantity increases due to economies of scale. If you\u2019re confident you can sell many copies of your game, manufacturing in volume can give you an advantage in terms of pricing and value.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Target Budget<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is optional but helpful. If you have a target budget you\u2019re aiming for, such as a per-unit price target or total budget, sharing it with your manufacturer can help them recommend the most effective way to achieve your pricing goals.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Component List<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the heart of your quote request. To get the most accurate pricing as quickly as possible, try to provide a detailed breakdown of everything that goes inside your box (as well as the box itself).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include the following in your component list:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Component type (e.g., cards, dice, miniatures, board)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantity (per game box)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Size (in millimeters or inches)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Material (if you have preferences)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Printing info (full color, single-sided, etc.)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finish (e.g. linen finish, UV coating)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more specific you are, the more accurate your quote will be. If you need help preparing a component list for your game, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/herotime1.com\/contact-us\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and our team will help you select components using our component guide.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packaging Details<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your packaging affects both the cost and process of producing your game, as well as shipping for your game to your target market and, once in your target market, the fulfillment process to your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include the following information with your component list:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box type (e.g. telescoping rigid box, tuck box, magnetic closure)\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box size (L x W x H in mm or inches)\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box artwork type (e.g. full-color with spot UV, matte laminate)\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insert or tray (plastic, cardboard, vacuum-formed, or none)\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shrink wrap or sealing options<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rulebook Specifications<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your rulebook will have an impact on your game\u2019s pricing and production, so it\u2019s important to put it in your quote request. Include the number of pages, size, color or black and white, paper type, and binding type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As always, if you need help with this or want to compare pricing for multiple rulebooks, feel free to message our team and we\u2019ll assist you.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artwork Status<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to let your manufacturer know how far along you are in your design process. We don\u2019t need your final art to give you a quote, but it\u2019s helpful to let us know what\u2019s ready and to give as much information as you can about your expected timeline and progress.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping Details<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping is one of the biggest expenses in creating and receiving your game. To quote shipping for your game, we need to know your delivery address (or, if not possible yet, your country and city), whether you\u2019re delivering to your home, business or a fulfillment center, and your choice of delivery method.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We offer hybrid production in China and, with our upcoming US-based facility, in the US. Using our hybrid manufacturing approach can shorten your distance from manufacturing to your final fulfillment center, assisting with logistics for your game.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certifications &amp; Compliance Requirements<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need your game to meet specific safety or environmental standards? If you\u2019re selling in the EU or USA, you may need specific certifications to show that your game is fit for sale in the markets you\u2019re planning to target.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need to know all of the regulatory requirements for your game when you reach out to request a quote. However, it\u2019s best to let our team know where you plan to sell your game so we can inform you about any important compliance requirements.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Timeline<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a deadline, such as a Kickstarter delivery promise or a planned event you\u2019d like to launch your game at, let us know. The clearer you make your timeline, the better we can work around your schedule and ensure your game is ready on time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to let us know when you\u2019ll be ready to start production, as well as the ideal delivery window for your game. For example: \u201cWe want to begin mass production starting in October and deliver to backers by March.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos or Prototypes<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve made a physical prototype or have detailed images of how you want components to look, include these in your request. Even a rough mockup helps us visualize your game and spot potential issues early.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Information and Communication Preferences<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By default, we\u2019ll work with you via email to help you go through all of the key steps to get your game ready for production. However, if you have specific availability times or prefer to talk via another channel, it\u2019s important to let your manufacturer know when you reach out to them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include your full name, your company or publisher name, your preferences for communication (e.g. email, WhatsApp, or your phone number), your time zone, and if you have limited time to communicate, a basic overview of your availability.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Few Extra Tips for a Smooth Quote Process<\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use a spreadsheet for your components<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Creators usually find it helpful to put all of their components into a spreadsheet for clarity. As a manufacturer, we appreciate it too, as it makes the data easy to work with.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t hesitate to ask questions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you\u2019re unsure about the best material, box size, or insert type, just say so. We are happy to help you work out the best materials, choice of components and other things for your game. There is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to preparing for manufacturing.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Expect some back-and-forth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even with a detailed quote request, your manufacturer may follow up with clarifying questions. This is because we\u2019re trying to get it right early and identify any potential issues before starting production.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a Quote for Manufacturing Your Board Game<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requesting a quote for your board game isn\u2019t just a pricing task &#8212; it\u2019s also the first step towards a potential partnership that will have a big impact on the quality and success of your game.
