Custom game 10,000 copies: price, delay, format

The 10,000-part level has its specific tariff features, its own deadlines and its accessible formats. Here is the B2B reading grid to frame your project in less than 30 minutes.

The 10,000-part level corresponds to specific B2B uses. Our role is to help you frame if this level is the right one for your project, or if a higher or lower level would be more relevant.

Variables that influence the final price on the bearing 10,000 copies: game format (cards, tray, escape...), finishes (standard or premium soft-touch coating), compliance (systematic or not), logistics (mono-site or multi-site).

Here is the full grid, illustrated by 3 recent client cases at this tier, with total investment, lead time and measured results.

The right production tier isn't the cheapest one: it's the one that matches your real deployment need and your commercial risk tolerance.

Accessible formats on the landing 10,000 copies

Very competitive unit cost (industrial scale). Lightly extended time (12-16 weeks). Systematic multi-site logistics. Essential documentary compliance for internal audits and DPEF.

For complex formats (full set, escape game, collaborative fresco), the 10,000-piece bearing may require arbitrations on finishes or components to stay in the target budget.

Our guide to the 7 factors that influence pricing details the mechanic. For a costed scope on your specific project, our team gets back to you within 48h.

Systematic documentary compliance

Whatever the production tier, our compliance file is attached to every delivery: EN71-1/2/3, FSC or PEFC papers, vegetable inks, ESAT partnership certificate, French manufacturing traceability.

For the 10,000-print level, this documentary compliance is particularly valued as it demonstrates CSR consistency and allows integration into the client's DPEF/CSRD.

No subcontracting outside France. Owned workshop in Fléac (Charente) for printing and finishing. ESAT partnership in Vienne for wooden tokens and meeples.

Logistic on the bearing 10,000 copies

Logistics at this tier depend on your deployment: single-site (one delivery) or multi-site (split shipments with per-site delivery notes).

Our fulfilment service manages complex deployments: per-site tracking, receipt confirmation, global reporting, continuous storage if needed.

For B2B organisations on large runs, delivery can be staggered over 3-6 months to match the flow to your needs (seminars, campaigns, client events).

Questions frequent

What is the average unit rate on the 10,000-piece bearing?

Unit pricing depends on the chosen format (cards, board, escape game, etc.), finishes, certifications and logistics. For a costed scope on your specific project, our team comes back within 48h with a detailed quote. We don't display generic prices because every B2B project is unique.

How long does it take to make 10,000 copies of a B2B game?

Standard lead times by format: cards or quiz 8-10 weeks, escape game 12-14 weeks, full board game 12-16 weeks, collaborative fresco 14-16 weeks. For express projects on simple formats, possible in 3-4 weeks with a surcharge.

Can delivery be spread over several months?

Yes, our fillillment service allows continuous storage and shipping as needed. Particularly suitable for continuous flow uses (onboarding HR, multiple seminars, spaced events). Marginal storage cost for 3-12 months.

Is the 10,000-part bearing profitable for our type of use?

It depends on your exact use case. For internal B2B uses (training, onboarding, CSR), this tier is cost-effective if the use is long-term (3-5 years typical usage). For one-off event uses, a smaller tier may be more relevant. A 30-minute scoping call lets us decide.

Which finish trade-offs at this tier?

To optimise pricing at this tier, typical trade-offs involve: standard matt lamination vs premium soft-touch, 3D spot varnish limited to the most exposed visual elements, standard box vs premium drawer box, 300gsm vs 350gsm paper quality. Our team advises based on your objective (perceived quality vs cost).
