Taking the time to do some quick mockups can save lots of time and money.
We can make your ideas real so you can see what works and what doesn't.
We create high quality one of a kind objects.
We can cut and print on just about anything to make your ideas come to life.

Since we're local to Gamehole Con, they ask us to participate in their convention every year. They always want some kind of big showy display to put in the lobby of the convention.

Depending on what you need it could be a couple hours worth of work to over 100 hours.

We make all the prototypes for Exploding Kitten's games through our normal services, but occasionally they want to try out something we don't do through those services. In this case they wanted to try out some different form factors for their production box before sending it to China for the full production run. This involved custom cut acrylic, specialized printing, and assembly.
Depending on your needs this could be a couple hours of work up to 10 hours.
While you can make custom tokens using our normal services, sometimes you need something special, or maybe you need a very large number of them. This is where TGC Laboratory can help. These all involved custom acrylic cutting, plus either etching or printing the acrylic.
The design work stage is usually only an hour or two for these projects. Most of the cost will be in the materials and production labor.
We made these as giveways for people who played the game.
