PROTOTYPES

(Above- Card cutting machine.)

To approach buyers or potential investors without a reasonable facsimile of what your product is, will reduce your chances of getting it 'placed' or accepted. With our experience and equipment, we can make a quality prototype, second to none. In fact, the finished product will probably look BETTER than a 'shop-bought' one. We do not skimp on anything. Prototypes include all graphics, parts (where possible), bar-codes (under licence) and they are even shrink-wrapped.

Most importantly, due to the number of products we have been involved with in development, we will also assist in ways at improving the gameplay. We can test-market your product to see that it not only plays well but that it will be accepted by the consumers.

As well, working with Roy Morgan Research, we can find out exactly who your customer base is, whether you are an individual inventor, a government department, school or major corporation.

Once you do get orders for your game, we can then help with full production. Our previous volume production and contacts with manufacturers will ensure that you get the best price for volume-order.

We guarantee that you'll never forget the day when you see your idea come off the assembly line. Ask any inventor, the only experience that comes close to this is actually seeing it on the store shelves.


Digital photography means instant images are available.

Laminating will protect your prototypes and give them a professional finish.

SMALL PRODUCTION RUNS

^ back to top

We can assist you with manufacturing your game or product, from a small production run from 5 to 100 games, or even as many as 500 or more.

The production cost of each of these (up to) 100 games could be more than their expected retail price, however, this does not compare to the financial loss of a product if it is not promoted properly and is then withdrawn from the shelves, leaving you, as the designer/creator with a 'shed full of games' and way out of pocket! The idea is to get your game noticed first, via a smaller financial outlay with a small production run, then do a larger run when you get orders.


BAR CODES

^ back to top

An email barcode service is available, simply email your bar code company/item number and we will calculate the check digit for you and you will receive a *.jpg file of your complete barcode.

SHRINK WRAPPING AND PACKAGING

^ back to top

Some games will require finishing procedures such as forme-cut boxes, vac-forme trays (plastic trays to hold game components inside box), and shrink wrapping etc. We can organise these services for your game or product.


CONCEPT AND DESIGN

^ back to top

Boat

We can assist with your design concept as well as provide design services in graphics, character creation, and layouts etc.


GAME PIECES

^ back to top
Game components Sourcing of a variety of plastic components for your games can be provided, markers, dice, tokens, spinners and much more. We can also custom design and manufacture quality pieces for customers who prefer to add that individual touch to their games. For most games we will use our own brand of game pieces designed and manufactured by us to the highest standards.
