Game Boxes
Built Around Cards & Components
Turning Any Case Above Into Custom Game Boxes
As a game box manufacturer, a game build is specified against the card count, the component sizes and whether it stands on a shelf before it is specified against artwork — a bent card, spilled dice or a loose lid is the most common reason one of these gets returned. Four things get settled before one goes back on the line.
An insert tray cut to the cards and components
Give us the card size, the dice and the miniature count, and the insert tray is cut with slots and dividers to them rather than to a stock size. These game box moulds are re-run for that interior, which is why cards lie flat instead of curling, dice stay put and components don't mix — the difference between a game box and an empty tin.
The right closure: slip lid, hinged or magnetic
A card box that tips over and spills is the worst case, so a slip lid has to hold; a hinged lid is for boxes that stand on a shelf; a magnetic lid signals a collector's edition. All three run the same mould, and the choice is made before the artwork because it changes the lid layout.
Wall gauge matched to the filled weight
A box full of cards and components gets stacked in a warehouse, shipped and picked up constantly. The wall gauge is matched to that weight rather than to the cheapest option, so a game box holds its shape through three pallet layers and arrives in a player's hands without a dent.
A print that earns its shelf
A game box is handled at the counter and on the table, so the print sits under an abrasion-resistant varnish, with foil or UV as accents rather than a full flood. A slip-lid box gets the same treatment on its contact edges, so the collectible finish holds up.
Built for Handling and Stacking
How These Game Box Cases Hold Up
A game box has to stand on a shelf, stack in a warehouse and be opened repeatedly at the table. Three things decide whether it lasts, and on every case above all three were fixed before printing started.
