Hero Time:

Sustainable &
Responsible Sourcing

FSC paper comes from responsibly managed forests — for every tree cut, another is planted. We source from Jiangsu Bohui Mill.

  • Every tree used is replanted under FSC guidelines.
  • Check the FSC certificate here.
  • Only about $0.12 more per sheet, but better for the planet.

Choose sustainability, not shortcuts
even in game production

Water-based ink and coating offer a safer, greener alternative to oil-based options — especially for kids’ health. No lead, no heavy metals — just clean, certified materials.
Learn more from DIC, our trusted ink provider.

  • Non-toxic & lead-free, safe for children
  • Water-based coating replaces oil lamination
  • Less carbon output, no heavy metals
  • Slightly higher cost: +$0.02/sheet + $400 wash

Sustainable swaps that
protect your game & the planet

Replace traditional shrink wrap with biodegradable options like paper bands and custom stickers. This method, used in The Pyramid of Khufu, adds charm and eco appeal to your packaging.

  • Paper bands replace plastic to secure cards
  • Peelable stickers seal game boxes cleanly
  • Custom branding printed directly on eco-stickers
  • Adds approx. $0.20 per game in production cost

A greener alternative
when full protection is still needed.

If you prefer using shrink wrap, opt for recyclable POF material instead of traditional PVC. This option offers a balance between product protection and environmental responsibility.

  • Made from recyclable POF, not virgin PVC
  • Can be used only on outer box, not components
  • Keeps products safe while reducing plastic waste
  • No added production cost for choosing POF over PVC
