Game Tokens Printing
First, let’s take a look at how these tokens are printed. To save production costs, we usually print tokens with the same material together. The customized size of this assembled print must fit the game box, and it absolutely cannot exceed the box size! Otherwise, the tokens won’t fit inside the box.
At the same time, the spacing between each individual token should be at least 6-8 millimeters, and the distance between the printed pattern and the cutting line also needs attention. For tokens larger than 3 centimeters, maintain a minimum distance of 3 millimeters.
Game Tokens Materials
Next, let’s talk about the materials. Our custom game tokens mainly come in two types of materials: gray board and white card.
We can distinguish them by the color of the game token edges: gray board edges are gray, while white card edges are white. White card material is sturdy and visually appealing but slightly pricier, while gray board offers great value for money.

Game Tokens Shapes
The shapes of the tokens are also diverse, including circular, square, hexagonal, and more. Each shape brings different experiences and challenges to the game, adding fun and diversity.
Game Tokens Thickness
In terms of thickness, these tokens offer a wide range of options. The thinnest is only 1.0 millimeters, while the thickest can reach 2.2 millimeters, making them both sturdy and durable, perfect for long gaming sessions.
The minimum diameter of a single token can be as small as 1.5 centimeters, compact and ideal for board game use.
Game Tokens Surface Treatment
Lastly, let’s discuss the surface treatment. During production, we recommend applying a varnish treatment to the tokens, which makes them more compact and less prone to damage.
However, please note that you should not use lamination because it will make the tokens too thick, and the laminate may deform later.
