Figures

Game pieces are the core element of any board game. For some years now these 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.

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 identically: One characteristic for example is 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 2000 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.

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.

IMPORTANT: 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).
