Everything brands ask us before their first run — minimums, materials, artwork and lead times.
Custom game boxes are packages made for board games, card games, puzzles, and tabletop games, with a size, structure, and print that match your game. They hold the components, carry your artwork, and give players their first impression of the game.
A lift-off lid box is classic and works for most board games, a magnetic closure box feels premium and suits collector or gift editions, and a hinged-lid box opens like a book and suits smaller games. Tell us how you want players to open the box, and we’ll recommend one.
Cardboard (paperboard) is lighter and more cost-effective, which suits lightweight games and larger runs. Rigid board holds heavier components and feels more premium, which suits retail editions and collector sets. Tell us your game’s weight and your budget, and we’ll match the board to it.
Trays hold components in fixed spaces, dividers separate stacks of cards or boards, and inserts can be cut to the shape of dice, tokens, and miniatures. That keeps pieces from mixing during shipping and setup.
Stack your components as you want them stored, including the folded board, card decks, and rulebook, and measure the height, width, and depth. Add a little room so players can take pieces out easily, and send us the measurements, and we’ll design the box and tray layout.
Characters, illustrated scenes, bold titles, colorful graphics, instructions, age recommendations, and your branding. We print from artwork you own or have permission to use, so licensed characters need your approval. Games with small parts for young children usually need safety warnings in the US, so confirm the required labels for your game before production.
Rigid board holds its shape on a shelf and under stacking, and cardboard suits lighter games. Board games can be heavy, and printed boxes can scuff in the mail, so for parcel shipping we recommend an outer shipping box. Tell us the game’s weight and how you ship, and we’ll advise.
Matte or gloss lamination, soft touch lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, and debossing. Foil on the title or spot UV on a character adds texture that catches the eye.
Yes. Orders start at 100 boxes, and we offer prototypes so you can test the fit of your components before committing to a full run. Tell us your quantity and timeline, and we’ll recommend a structure.
Orders start at 100 boxes, and shipping is free across the USA. Cardboard styles typically take 6 to 8 business days, and rigid boxes take longer, so we’ll confirm timing with your quote.
Ordering packaging with my own logo from Aqua Printers was the best decision for my brand. Beautifully printed, strong, and it gives a luxury feel to every package. My customers are impressed every time they open it.
I didn't expect anyone to comment on packaging. After switching to Aqua Printers, customers kept posting pictures of it and our branding on social improved dramatically. It basically became free marketing for us.
Very happy with the final product and it shipped to me quickly. The proof stage caught a colour issue before production, which saved us a whole run. I'll be coming back for more.
