A useful card game quote needs more than a card count. Lock the finished size, corner radius, stock and opacity, surface finish, deck order, packaging, inserts, quantity, artwork status, proof route, and delivery destination.
Specify the cards
- Finished dimensions, orientation, corner radius, and cards per deck.
- Stock, core or opacity requirement, stiffness, and surface feel.
- Color requirements, front and back variation, and any spot colors.
- Finish, coating, foil, emboss, or other special processes.
- Collation order, duplicate cards, language versions, and replacement-card policy.
Choose packaging around the packed deck
A tuck box, folding carton, two-piece box, or rigid structure should be sized from the final stack and any booklet, token, tray, or insert. Confirm how the product will be displayed, packed into master cartons, and shipped before the structure is approved.
Control files and proof approvals
- Use the approved dieline for the exact size and structure.
- Name files by component, language, and version.
- Preflight bleed, safe areas, fonts, images, colors, finishing layers, and deck order.
- Approve the digital proof and request a physical sample when color, feel, fit, or structure must be judged.
- Identify one authorized approver and keep a dated correction log.
Do not treat a generic lead time as a guarantee
Production and delivery timing changes with specifications, quantity, materials, proof cycles, testing, capacity, packing, and shipping route. Ask Jinayon for a dated feasibility check after the final brief is complete and before promising a launch or event date.
Request-for-quote checklist
Send the card count, finished size, stock and finish, packaging structure, inserts, quantity, artwork status, sample needs, destination markets, testing instructions, delivery address, and required arrival date. That gives the production team enough information to flag missing decisions before pricing.
