Counters are often used items in board games and usually are made of cardboard. They are used as marker, as game board or player tableaus. Many types and shapes can be found.

The production of such cardboard pieces is done with 800gr. cardboard covered with paper on both sides, which is printed with water-based colors. Since the counters have to be punched from the tableau, costs for the cutting tool is to be considered. If this tool has to be specifically produced, quite relevant costs occur.


Blank counters

For small volumes and prototypes this will be to expansive. You will find in our Shop, section counters a large selection of different counter shapes and sizes that can be used to customize your games. These blank counters can be pasted or painted with your design.


We also have developed a kind of in-between solution. Prefabricated counters on release paper can be used in common printers. However, to be usable for such printers, the thickness of such counters is limited (200 gr/m²).

Pre-printed counters

Counters are often used to create landscapes. We have produced several motifs with different landscapes and buildings that can be bought in our Shop as well as some other types with more often used imprints..
