Huaxin Printing supports custom board game sets that combine printed boards, cards, punchboards, rulebooks, boxes, inserts and packed components for tabletop publishers, education buyers and retail game brands.
Set architecture
Plan the Whole Box
A board game set quote should define every printed piece and every packed item, because board size, card count, punchboard sheets, rulebook pages, insert layout and box depth all affect production.
Game Board
Folding board, mounted board, map board or paperboard play surface.
Cards
Deck count, cards per deck, finish, rounded corners and collation.
Punchboards
Token sheets, counters, tiles, score markers and die-cut sheets.
Rulebook
Page count, paper, binding, language versions and insert size.
Box
Top-bottom box, rigid box, tuck box, insert tray and retail packing.
Set components
Printed Game Set Scope
Use this section to separate the game set from a card-only or puzzle-only project. A complete board game set often needs several printed formats to arrive together and fit inside one box.
Paper Parts
Game board, player boards, cards, punchboards, rulebooks, score pads, reference sheets and box wrap.
Pack Fit
Box size, insert plan, component stack height, bagging and carton packing should be reviewed together.
Version Control
SKU count, language versions, expansion sets and artwork revisions affect prepress checks.
Assembly Notes
Component count, collation order, box contents and shipment protection should be clear before quoting.
