Are you a factory or a trading company？

What certifications do you have?
We maintain a comprehensive suite of international certifications to ensure our products meet the highest global standards:
1. Quality & Social Responsibility: We are ISO 9001 certified for quality management and Sedex/SMETA audited, demonstrating our commitment to ethical trade and fair labor practices.
2. Sustainability: We hold FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance, ensuring all our paper materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests.

What types of custom card games and board games can you manufacture?
We offer a full spectrum of manufacturing services, including custom playing cards, tarot cards, flashcards, jigsaw puzzles, and complex board games with various components (wooden tokens, dice, etc.). We support multiple finishes like linen, UV coating, matte/gloss lamination, and gold foiling.
How long is the typical production lead time?
Sampling usually takes 7-10 days. Mass production typically ranges from 20 to 25 days after artwork approval and deposit receipt, depending on the complexity and volume of the order.
How can you make sure the mass goods quality?
To avoid common issues like color shifting or bowed cards, we align our mass production strictly with your approved PPS (Pre-production Sample). Our QC focuses on the details that matter to gamers: perfect centering, crisp varnish/linen finish, and structural durability of the tuck box. We invite third-party inspections to verify that the final product is a 1:1 reflection of the sample you loved.
