Below you will find custom game guidelines to help you appropriately set up your artwork files – whether it be for a card game only or a complex, multiple component board game.

Custom Game File Setup Guidelines

If you’ve never printed a game before, the below game component file setup guides will give you all the information that you need to successfully format and submit your files.

As a general rule, the margins, recommended image resolution, and color requirements for each printed component (instructions, cards, tokens, etc) are the same. They experience the same production variance which can be up to two millimeters on some copies. For more information on this, please reference our offset printing guidelines. 

Select a game component file setup guide below to get started creating your document in your chosen layout software. Note that we only recommend the use of Adobe-based design software to create and export out artwork. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have and best of luck with getting your project print-ready!
