Layout becomes
a physical product
I help prepare a game, packaging or corporate merchandise for release: define scope, requirements, materials, contractors and guide the work from sample through to print run.
Starting challenge
Product quality is set before the press runs
Layouts look great on screen but do not match production technology.
Materials, finishing, assembly and acceptable substitutions are undefined.
Contractor quotes cannot be compared properly.
Errors are discovered only after the entire print run is complete.
Scope of work
A production loop with control points
Print layouts
Technical requirements, bleed, colour, stamps and file checks.
Contractors
Comparability of quotes and selection of production technology.
Sample
Colour proof or test unit, assembly and adjustments.
Print run
Production control, assembly, packaging and handover.
Background
Experience from releasing own products
Nine released games, print work, digital design, corporate merchandise and packaging form part of a proven entrepreneurial track record.
Not just games
Merchandise and packaging tailored to a brand brief
Merch and clothing
T-shirts and other items with a bespoke concept, design and print preparation.
Mugs and corporate gifts
Mugs, pens, calendars and other printed items for clients, staff and events.
Boxes and tubes
Structure, graphic design, printing and release of packaging in the required format.
Budget: end-to-end preparation and production starts at ₽1,000,000. Final cost depends on scope, materials, finishing, assembly and print run size.
Production conditions: board games are printed in minimum runs of 100 copies. Print work, packaging and merchandise — minimum 500 units per SKU. Single orders are not accepted. Materials, finishing, logistics and a test sample are agreed before the print run.
