Case Study: “Chrono-Siege” Board Game Launch

The Challenge: An indie game studio, Timeless Games, was launching “Chrono-Siege,” a complex strategy game with a heavy game board and over 300 plastic miniatures. They needed a custom board game boxes solution that was durable enough to protect the components, visually stunning to attract backers, and cost-effective for a Kickstarter campaign.

Our Solution: We engineered a two-piece rigid box with a laminated finish for scuff resistance. The box was designed with a specific box size to include a vacuum-formed plastic insert that securely cradled each miniature and separated the card games deck, tokens, and board. The cover featured a dramatic, full-bleed illustration with spot UV gloss on the logo to make it pop on the shelf.

The Result: The professional quality of the custom game box was repeatedly praised in Kickstarter updates and reviews. Timeless Games exceeded their funding goal by 250% and attributed a significant portion of their success to the high perceived value of the packaging. The boxes arrived to backers with zero reports of damage, even internationally.
