How to manufacture your game at AGR, step by step:
1
Request a quote. You’ll find the form at the bottom of this page. One of our sales representatives will get in touch with you.
2
Once you’ve reviewed all the details of the quote, we can begin your order. The quote covers everything that will be included in your game. Review everything thoroughly—don’t take anything for granted!
3
It’s time to send all the files. Our pre-production technicians will provide you with the necessary templates to manufacture your game, along with the final artwork preparation guide. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
4
We will review the technical details of the final artwork, as well as legal and regulatory aspects, to ensure that your game encounters no issues in stores. You will receive a detailed technical evaluation with results, suggestions, and the necessary corrections.
5
With the correct files, we will produce eProofs (digital print proofs). Some game elements, such as cards, require additional preparation; you will receive the proofs along with specific instructions on how to check that everything is correct.
It is very important that this review be thorough, as anything overlooked at this stage cannot be undone later.
6
All set for printing! At this stage, if you wish, we can send you flat color proofs and a white mock-up. All that’s left is your final approval of the proofs so we can get started.
7
Production will take between 6 and 8 weeks. We will carry out all the processes to complete your project, keep you informed at every milestone, and allow you to follow the progress.
8
Once everything is finished, our logistics department will arrange the delivery. Do you have multiple addresses? Do you need to make several shipments? Don’t worry—we’ll be at your service to help you.
We’ll help you throughout the entire process, our file-checking system is fast, reliable, and secure, and far more comprehensive, rigorous, and thorough than others. With us, your game will be ready for market, avoiding marking, legal, or final artwork errors. You’ll have a direct line to the people in charge of your project and will be able to track progress securely.
With you from square one
AGR is the most complete board game factory in the world. Our goal is to support you throughout the entire process—from the very first steps, advising and assisting you in manufacturing your board game and creating high-quality prototypes, to the production of the final game, its storage, and distribution with national or international shipping.
For these first steps, we offer our online store for prototype and small-run game production:
Through LUDOTIPIA, you can manufacture all the components of your board game such as cards, boxes, boards, or plastic and wooden tokens—as well as any other component you can imagine.
If you already have a game quoted with us and need to create a prototype, we can send you a personalized estimate to build your game based on that quote. Prototypes are ideal for testing how the game works with different components, showcasing it at conventions and to publishers, or using it to record videos for crowdfunding campaigns or promotional content on social media.

Make your game sustainable
At AGR you can make your game more sustainable—reducing its carbon footprint to zero if you wish.
Not only is producing closer to home a great way to lower your carbon footprint, but we also provide you with every available resource to minimize it as much as possible.
We offer you our three fundamental pillars so you can reduce your carbon footprint, making your game more eco-friendly and sustainable.
1. Recycled paper with FSC® certification
At AGR, we are FSC® certified. This means that the papers we use in your game can be certified as coming from controlled logging, which reduces environmental impact and ensures the reforestation and recovery of forest areas.
If you’d like to learn more about the FSC® certification, you can visit the FSC® Spain website to discover all the advantages of manufacturing with certified papers.
2. Factory powered by solar panels
Our board game factory is located in Humanes de Madrid, Spain. This location provides us with nearly 3,000 hours of sunlight per year.
Thanks to this abundance of sunlight, combined with our factory built in 2021, we enjoy a comparative advantage over other factories—allowing us to operate for up to 6 months a year on solar energy. This significantly reduces negative environmental impact and helps lower the carbon footprint of every game we produce.
3. Plastic-free games
We can manufacture games that are 100% free of single-use plastic. Our production processes ensure that paper is not altered with additional plastic coatings. You can also use FSC-certified wooden components in your game, and we provide paper banding and closures, avoiding the use of single-use plastics within the game and achieving a plastic-free product ready for the market.
Our Plastic Free logo is displayed on paper adhesive seals and is available for you to include on your game box—certifying that no single-use plastics were used in the manufacturing of your board game.
t’s not about being more or less sustainable, but about when to be.
Take the step with us as soon as possible. We provide all the resources to help you make it happen.
0%
Impact on the carbon footprint
With us, you can reduce the carbon footprint impact of your board game to 0%. Thanks to our alliance within the Plusprint group, we can calculate the carbon footprint of your game and provide you with the tools to offset it.
Reaching zero carbon footprint is a very challenging goal, but if you manufacture with us—using methods and techniques that reduce carbon emissions, producing close to where you live, and using tools to measure and offset your footprint—you will be creating a sustainable board game with added value. You’ll be contributing to making the entire manufacturing process even more sustainable.

We prepare and carry out shipments to anywhere in the world, helping reduce costs by sending products directly to distributors or by handling bulk shipments for crowdfunding campaigns in a centralized way.
We have a specialized department dedicated to tracking and managing different campaigns. With us, you can save time and money by consolidating all your storage, distribution, and shipping services with a single provider.
