We’re happy to tell you about a host of new pricing changes. The ones we announce today are just the start of an overall larger change coming to The Game Crafter through-out the rest of this year.

Bulk Pricing at 500 and 1000

Starting today we are now offering new bulk prices for 500 and 1000 copies of a game on the following components:

decks of cards



custom etched dice

custom printed dice

tuck boxes

hook boxes

booklets



We are also lowering our $0.89 handling fee to $0.79 at 500 and $0.69 at 1000.

These extra discounts are not huge at this point, but they are a start as we work toward offering better bulk pricing. And for the customers that wish to use us for bulk printing, every bit of discount we can give them will help.

Each component will now show example pricing at the various levels like this on their product detail page:

More components will receive price breaks for 500 and 1000 as we build out the processes and pricing for them. Stay tuned to our news and social media for further updates.



Some Extra Discounts

We were able to lower the base 1/10/100 pricing for some components in some cases. Hex Cards, Circle Cards, and Euro Square Cards fall into this category. There are a few others as well. As an example, Hex Cards dropped from $2.49 per sheet to $2.19 per sheet even at 1-off pricing.

Laser Cut Punchout Pricing

We have now standardized all of our punchout pricing based upon linear inches rather than a flat fee. So where we used to price Medium Circle Chits at $9.50 per sheet, we now base the price on the linear inches cut. This means that among our tiles, chits, and other punch outs some prices will be higher by a little bit, and some will be lower by a little bit, but overall the prices will be pretty similar. Of our 24 punchout types 15 will have a lower price, and 9 will have a higher price. These changes also affect laser cut sticker and card stock items like dice stickers and circle shards.

Custom Laser Cut Pricing

Our custom cut stickers, card stock, and chipboard components have all had their per linear inch prices cut too, in some cases sharply. So for example, for custom chipboard the linear inch price has dropped from $0.02616 to $0.0085. We want to make it cheaper and easier than ever to make your own custom components, so we’re really happy to be able to provide you with these price breaks.

Recalculating

As a result of all these changes, we’re recalculating all game pricing in our system. Since there are hundreds of thousand of games in our system, this process will take many hours, but it will happen automatically, so there’s nothing for you to do.
