Factors That Affect The Cost of Game Boards
The cost of game boards can vary widely depending on many factors, such as the size, materials, thickness, folding options, surface treatment, design complexity, and other custom services.
Generally, larger game boards will require more materials and manufacturing time. Additionally, they require larger packaging materials and shipping fees.
Cardboard is more affordable than other materials, such as plastic, wood, and metal. Apart from this, different types of cardboard material can also affect the cost.
Thicker game boards generally require more materials and more complex machinery and production processes, which increased production costs.
Game boards that require more folding options tend to be more complex, as they need specialized machinery and skilled workers to ensure the correct folding process.
More complex surface treatments such as embossing, foiling, or spot UV coating require specialized equipment and labor, increasing the cost of production.
The more complex the design of game boards, the more time, effort, and resources are required to create them, which in turn can lead to a higher cost.
Game Board Thickness Recommendation
We set the size of the box according to the size of the game board and its folding options.
Usually, we set the 50x50cm board size as the critical value.
- If your game board's length or width is < 50 cm, you can choose our 1.5mm gray board.
- If your game board's length or width is> 50 cm, you can choose our> 1.8 mm gray board.
If you have a large game board and use a thin grey board, the board will easily deform.
Game Board Folding Options
Bi-Fold
A simple two-panel fold with fewer crease lines, ideal for medium-to-large boards requiring a clean, continuous playing area.
Tri-Fold
Balances a wide playing surface with compact storage, making it suitable for rectangular boards and space-efficient game boxes.
Quad-Fold
Folds into four compact sections, reducing box size while still supporting a large playing area for strategy and family games.
Six-Fold
Designed for oversized game boards, using six sections to minimize packed dimensions while maintaining a spacious playing layout.
Game Board Surface Treatment
It depends on the printing effect, level of protection you want, and budget.
