Designed for each game
We measure the real components of a game and shape every tray around them.
Met us at SPIEL Essen? Welcome.
Every piece in its place. Ready to play.
We design and 3D print board-game inserts that give every card, token and board its own place in the box. Open it, take out the trays and start playing.

What we do
Make setup faster. Keep everything ready to play.
Ready-to-play trays
Each tray is a supply you put straight on the table. Less sorting, faster setup, faster packing up.
Printed in small batches
We print in matte PLA, a few at a time, and improve each insert with the feedback of players and stores.
Small decisions you feel when you play
The same details, in every tray.
Lids that park underneath
When you play, flip the lid over and set the tray on it: it clicks on underneath, so it never wanders off across the table.
Square bays for cards
Sleeved cards sit in square bays on a flat floor. A thumb cut at each short end lets you reach the very last card.
Curved wells for tokens
Round corners and a rounded floor, so tokens slide out under one finger instead of hiding in a corner.
Tiles that stand up and fan out
Cassettes keep flat tiles upright in the box. On the table, lay one down and the tiles fan out, ready to pick up.
Our inserts
Three games, one way of playing.
Every insert uses the same family of trays, so once you know one, you know them all.

Trays for the cards, tokens and five alien species, cassettes for the tech tiles and molds that hold the boards.
