Game pieces are the core element of any board game. Since several years there are not only the traditional pawns, but also many other different types and shapes (meeples) - a lot of new games nowadays have their own shapes.
Contents
Wooden game pieces
Wooden game figures have a high optical and especially haptical appeal. Gamers like the use of wooden materials in games and associate a higher quality of the overall product. One has to be aware that wood is a natural product, which cannot be reproduced exactly equal: One characteristic is e.g. the wood's grain, which can result in slightly different game pieces. Wooden game pieces are shaped or cut and subsequently colored with barrel finishing.
Figures
Geometrical shapes, people, animals, buildings or even transports - wood as raw material can be used in many different ways. You will find a huge choice of different wooden pawns in our shop Shop - devided amoung different categories (pawns, discs, cylinders, transports, people, buildings, goods, animals, etc.).
Customized production is possible from a minimum quantity of 5000 pieces per colour. Please be aware that the raw material is wood, that does not allow a high level of complexity, meaning that fine details cannot be produced. Depending on the pawns' type and size, the minimum order quantitiy could be higher - as we always have to respect a certain filling level of our colouring drums. Tool costs vary between 150 - 500 EUR, depending on the complexitiy of the figure. Generally speaking: the higher the level of complexitiy, the higher the price for production.
Delivery time for customized wooden pawns is approx 4-6 weeks. IMPORTANT: During the 3 last month before the trade fair "SPIEL" in October, delivery times could be longer! --- In case you need your pawns for that occasion, we recommend an early order.
Examples:
- Game piece Factory 25x15x10mm ~ 0,0453 EUR / piece(net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 20.000 pieces
- Game piece Hexagon 20x20x4mm ~ 0,0245 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 15.000 pieces
- Game piece Wheat 14x17x8mm ~ 0,0354 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 20.000 pieces
- Game piece Arrow 30x15x5mm ~ 0,0290 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 450 EUR) at a volume of 30.000 pieces
In the shop you will find an offer for a standard customized game piece.
Colors
We can produce your game pieces in the following colors:
Standard EN71 (72+73) and ISO 8124 apply to these colours. Customized colouring (e.g. bordeaux, gold, silver...) is possible. The mixing of a customized colour is charged with one-off payment 200 EUR.
Embossing
Quite popular are wooden pawns with individual embossing. A wooden disc or dice could be embossed one-sided or two-sided. Tool costs (for embossing stamp) are at approx 150.- EUR/image.
Examples:
- Disc 15x4mm with embossment one-sided ~ 0,0671 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 7.000 pieces
- Disc 19x4mm with embossment one-sided ~ 0,098 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 10.000 pieces

- Disc 20x15x4mm with pad printing one-sided, one colour ~ 0,0247 EUR / piece (net) plus tool costs (~ 150 EUR) at a volume of 10.000 pieces
Handcrafted pawns
Our partner in Sri Lanka handcrafts customized wooden pawns from rubber wood. Rubber wood is especially suitable for high quality toys as it does not splinter. The wood comes from latex farms, after completing its life cycle, the wood is used to create the toys and new trees are being planted to replace those that were cut down. Production comply with all world standards for safe lead levels, including the EN 71 (72 and 73) ISO 8124 and ASTM standards.
Any form and colour is possible. You can find some examples in our shop. ATTENTION: Minimum order quantitiy here is approx 100 pieces, delivery time is extended, due to shipping from Sri Lanka.
Plastic pawns
Plastic pawns are produced in an injection-molding process, material is Polystyrol. We also offer pawns made from WPC (Wood Plastic Composite), a material-mix of wood and plastic also being used in the recyling processes.
The injection-molding process differs significantly from wooden production and allows clearly more fine and detailed structures. However, tool costs are much higher here (between 2.500 EUR and 20.000 EUR), leading to the fact that the production is economially reasonable only for higher quantities. However, the injection-molding process allows the implementation of different types of pawns in one tool (e.g. a car, a person and a good in one mold/tool) which would reduce costs per unit/pawn.
IMPOROTANT: Plastic pawns can only be produced monochromatically ! A diagram including dimensions is sufficient for simple pawns/structures, complex designs, however, would require 3-D informations (iges, step or STL).
