The first step in Paragon Packaging helping you to manufacture a board game is giving us your contact information, so that we have a basic idea of who you are ,with an email address for us to send some introductory information. This process involves logging onto our web site www.paragonpackaging.com, clicking on the Game Packaging icon, and then clicking “Request Quote.” It’s that simple.
One of the documents you will receive from us, will be a board game manufacturing specification sheet we developed several years ago. We ask you to fill this out as concisely as possible and then either fax it to us, or scan it as a PDF and email it back. While many companies and individuals have already developed their own custom game specification sheet, it’s in everyone’s best interest that you fill out ours as it answers many questions about board game production that are invariably omitted otherwise.
Upon receipt of your board game specification sheet, we review the information and then call you to discuss any inconsistencies, or make recommendations based upon best board game production efficiencies and economies. Often, we’ll find sizes of game components such as game boxes, game boards, and game cards inefficient for game manufacturing pricing and the same with the quantities or style of game cards. Our goal is to work with you to make the best possible board game at the best possible price, and we base it upon the category that you are directing your marketing to.
One of the most seemingly obvious but overlooked areas of content is the size of the game box in relation to the game board especially, but to all other components in general. This is one area where our expertise in custom packaging comes into play. We consider the structural strength of the package as one of the principles of good packaging, and this applies to every product, especially a board game.
Try this test. Shake the game full with its contents. If anything is loose and flying around inside the game box other than an obvious component such as a piece bag, the board game is probably poorly packaged and should be re-examined.
