The service we offer is beyond printing boards and cards, and we pride ourselves on being different to your typical manufacturer. Our mission is to make the entire manufacturing process extremely easy for you while delivering products that you’ll be very happy with, and we are committed to achieve this by proactively seeking out ways to improve your product, prevent errors, and quickly resolve issues that may arise. When you entrust us with your project, you will have peace of mind that it is in good hands. This is why many customers bring their most demanding projects to us, because they know we will deliver.
THE PROCESS
Our project managers are committed to understand your needs and goals, and to help you decide on the appropriate materials and construction that will not only realize your game, but will also meet your budget. At Ninox, a wide range of production methods, materials, custom components and packaging options are available, and since we are backed by a strong engineering support team, we are able to offer turnkey solutions to games with more complex needs. Our project managers are trained to think small when it comes to the details of your project, without jeopardizing the long-term picture of how your game may develop in the market. We are able to offer advice on the design of your components such that consistent results can be achieved from your first print through to future reprints and expansions.
Once we have a thorough understanding of your project, we will be able to calculate the production cost for you and a detailed estimate will be issued to you by your project manager. The time required to complete the estimate depends on the complexity of your game, but typically takes around 7-10 days. Our estimate will detail the terms by which the pricing is based on, along with the unit cost of your game and any other tooling and setup charges. Upon request, we can construct a dummy sample of your game, so you may have something tangible to evaluate the construction and materials of each paper components to make sure they feel right to you.
Upon receipt of your design files, we will review them thoroughly to ensure the artwork files are prepared correctly for production, and that the dimension and quantity of components are consistent with what is described in the specification of your game. You will be informed if we find anything inherent to your design files that will prevent the components to be manufactured properly and beautifully.
A pre-production sample of your game will be made once your artwork files have passed our pre-production analysis. Our pre-production samples are prepared in the form of an assembled, physical mockup version of your game, using the same material and construction that would be used in production. We believe this is the most informative assessment of the content and quality of the components which also provide the best way to identify issues that need to be addressed prior to releasing the game for mass production.
When you give us the green light to mass produce your game, we will have them made and packaged professionally and timely, while maintaining very high assembly fidelity.
Our facilities invest heavily in printing technologies and game production techniques. Not only do we offer scalable production options without compromising quality or assembly fidelity, tremendous effort and resources are devoted to ensuring compliance to safety, environmental and social standards. Our mass production typically requires a minimum production run of 1500 games, and without upper limit. Production of 10,000 games takes 30-45 days, depending on the number of different components and their complexity.
Upon completion of production, a sample will be obtained from the production line and air courier to you for review and approval, before your order is released for shipment.
We offer a number of shipping options for delivering your games. When you initiate your project with us, our project managers will discuss with you about the available options.
At Ninox, we believe quality is a cumulative result of conducting each individual steps and processes within your project with more care and attention. From project planning to mass production, from assembly to shipping, we implement multiple checkpoints to ensure your games are made and delivered to your specification. Our assembly facilities are elaborately organized, consistently completing high volume and high complexity projects with high assembly fidelity.
