Absolutely. If we accept your order, we will start an RFQ meeting with you. We will learn your game mechanism and your gameplay, and identify the potential risks we might stuck in. Then, we will give you suggestions to revise it or not. Do not worry about it we will respect you and maintain your design as much as we can for the best production performance.
Absolutely. As a highly socially responsible company, Eastar is always dedicated to breaking the boundary broaden international horizons, and catering to the requirement of sustainable development. We have produced the eco-friendly Sample Kit and provided other eco-friendly printing production solutions, such as environmental ink, etc. We would provide more fruitful eco-friendly production solutions.
Generally speaking, there are many different types of wood, and the wood itself determines the quality of the finished wood product. No specified material, we will recommend pine. Pine is selected in the box-shaped wooden fittings because of its relatively lightweight, yellowish color and fluffy texture.
A Punch board of the splicing type is used usually because there is a large area that needs to be unrolled.
There are three splicing methods in splicing. The first is to use punch boards of the same size for splicing. The second kind of shared template is for small tokens that do not make up for the lack of space, especially square, right triangle, and hexagonal tokens. The third is similar to the splicing of the game board, which does not completely disconnect the board.
Usually, the second method is the most used, which requires that the token’s background color be consistent and that at least one edge is connected to the punch board when using this method.

Ensuring the quality of miniatures is a top priority for Eastar, and we take several measures to guarantee the excellence of our products.
With over 30 years of experience in the industry, our mold directors possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise. They are well-versed in identifying risks throughout the molding process, including parting, injection molding, bonding, and packaging.
One of the key factors that set us apart from other factories is that we complete all production links for our molds in-house. This allows us to manage the quality of our molds more effectively, ensuring that they are delivered on time and with complete confidentiality.
As you know, old machines can lead to problems with mold gaps, unstable parameters, and other issues that can affect the quality of the final product. At Eastar, we have 36 injection molding machines, 17 units can be automated production, 10 units were purchased this year, and the remaining 26 units were purchased in recent years. So we can avoid these problems and maintain consistency in our production process.
Packaging is another critical aspect of ensuring the quality of miniatures. Outsourcing this process can lead to difficulties in controlling quality, delivery time, and product confidentiality. To address this issue, we have set up both a general assembly workshop and a dust-free assembly workshop in our factory. This allows us to complete the packaging process in-house and customize packaging schemes according to the specific needs of our customers.

The cost of manufacturing a board game can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the game, the components involved, the quality of materials, the production quantity, etc.
Here are some elements that can contribute to the cost: Game Design and Artwork, Game Components, Manufacturing Quantity, Board Game Materials, Printing and Production, Packaging, Shipping and Logistics, Marketing and Distribution.
It’s challenging to provide an exact cost estimate without specific details about the game, its components, and the desired production quantity. Obtaining a quotation for your specific board game project is usually the best way to gain a more accurate understanding of the manufacturing cost.
Though the cost will depend on the complexity of your game, we only charge for die-cutting molds and exclude material cost of the sample as our strong support to our clients. Additionally, if you are an A-Rank client and long-term strategic partner, we will provide free blank samples to help with the development of your game.
