Game Board Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cartons sized to hold a folded board, cards, and pieces together, made for tabletop publishers and toy brands packaging a complete game. Every box is produced to order in full-color CMYK.
A snug carton keeps the board, rulebook, and components organized as one set, so nothing slides loose between the shelf and the table, and a strong cover print sells the game to browsers at a glance. Independent designers use game board boxes to give a small print run the same shelf presence as a major release.

Printing & Finishing
