Game prototypes and short runs · San Antonio
Your game on the table this week.* Cards, tiles, and 3D, made in San Antonio.
Send print-ready files and a run of about 120 cards is printed, cut and ready to ship in about two days. A playtest set, a few decks, a con-ready run. We do the card design and the 3D modeling too, so a rough idea is enough to start.
* Shipping permitting. Ready-to-ship time is for print-ready runs of about 120 cards; how long it takes to reach you depends on the carrier and where you are. Local pickup in San Antonio skips the wait.
Prototyping
Between a home printer and a factory
Printing at home is a great, cheap way to start. A factory run of a thousand copies is a big leap, and the small-run printers in between come with a line. That gap is where we live: clean, table-ready cards and pieces in small numbers, with no huge minimum, usually in your hands in days instead of waiting your turn.
- About 2 days to ship
- Runs of about 120 cards
- No minimum

Services & who it's for
Five crafts, one shop. Games first.
Most of our work is board and card games: prototype decks, printed tiles and boards, minis and pieces. The same machines turn out sports cards, awards, props and more, so if it needs designing, printing or making, there's a good chance we can help.
UV Card Printing
Custom decks, prototypes to finished runs.
Custom cards for sports teams, schools, clubs, and game & card designers. We print standard poker and tarot size cards with your own backs and faces, and can design the cards for you.
UV Printing for Board Game Tiles
Vivid UV flatbed printing on tiles and components.
UV flatbed printing on small board game tiles and components, with sharp full-color art bonded straight to the surface.
Filament 3D Printing (FDM)
Functional parts, props, and components.
FDM printing for parts, props, and functional components, with sturdy prints in a range of materials and sizes.
Resin 3D Printing (SLA)
High-detail miniatures and small parts.
SLA resin printing for high-detail miniatures and small parts where crisp detail matters most.
3D Modeling & Design
Custom models in Shapr3D + design support.
Custom 3D models designed in Shapr3D, plus the design support behind your print job, including card layout and tile artwork prep. Because we handle the design, we can tweak and update it as your game develops and grows.
Why we cost a little more
You're paying for time: a few real sets made now, not a spot in someone's queue. Need 500 or more copies and can wait? A manufacturer will beat our price, and we'll tell you so.
