Tutorial on How to Create Custom Acrylic Shapes on TheGameCrafter.com

Welcome to the fourth epoch of The Game Crafter: entirely custom game pieces!

For a while now we’ve allowed you to make custom punchouts, stickers, cards, and other printable components all to your exact specifications. For the first time we can now do that with plastic game pieces and they are called Custom Acrylic Shapes.

You’ll start with a piece of 8 inch by 4 inch acrylic. You can choose from 2 thicknesses (1/4″ or 1/8″) and over a dozen colors. You can choose what shapes to cut from the plastic, and you can print in full glorious color on both sides of it.

Custom Acrylic Shapes are 100% custom plastic board game pieces. These samples are soldiers & spies.

If you pay close attention to The Game Crafter news feed, you will have noticed all the things we’ve released leading up to this. It started with engraved dice, then printed dice; then acrylic vials and camp fires; and most recently custom printed meeples and the Game Designer’s Ruler.

Flames, Flame Logs, and Flame Smoke. Available in The Game Crafter Parts Shop!

We’re just getting started with what we can do on this front, but we’re pleased to have reached this epic milestone! So what are you waiting for. The fourth epoch begins now. Download the Acrylic Shapes template and get started!
