Custom Game Tiles
Game tiles are a great solution when you need an interactive gaming space which can change and evolve with play
A board game consists of many important and carefully chosen components. In the traditional style, the central component is the game board: fixed, immovable, unchanging. But in more recent iterations of the board game concept, the board itself has become a fluid, ever-changing arena formed by a series of tiles, laid down one at a time according to the rules governing the progress of play, the actions and decisions of the players, and other factors. Especially interesting and engaging in fantasy role-playing, exploration and adventure, or mystery games, it’s a great option worth considering as an aspect of your custom game design.
If you decide to go that route, at Ally Sourcing we have the knowledge, skills, materials, technology, and enthusiasm to help realize your creative vision. Our printed board game tiles may be the exact solution for which you’ve been looking. And with a wide range of ways to customize the core component to make it something unique and integral to your individual game design, we know you’ll be delighted with the results.
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 200 sets.
Game Tile Materials and Printing
Board games may be made from a variety of material substrates. Depending on your design choices, these can then be covered with other paper, coated, oriented, and finished in a number of ways, including reinforcing any folds with fabric and wrapping the edges for a super-neat, high-end professional look.

A versatile, robust board made from compressed recycled fibers, with a gray-colored, natural look. It’s inexpensive but needs to be covered with coated paper before printing, after which it makes an excellent game tile punchboard.
Grayboard

A sturdy board made from reconstituted wood fiber, chips, and sawdust bound with a special resin.
Chipboard

Originally devised for use in making jigsaw puzzles, this has rapidly become a board game industry favorite. Made from recovered paper waste, dyed blue, and compressed, it’s super-easy to cut, laminate, and wrap for printing. Add to that its low environmental impact, and you see why it’s such a popular option.
ESKA Blueboard

Also common as food packaging, this is a composite board with an inner core of paperboard covered with a plastic coating which renders it water-resistant and very durable.
Plasticized Cardboard
The most popular tile material is 250 gsm / 168 lb C1S (coated one side only) paper wrapped over 1.5 mm to 3 mm grayboard. Game tiles may be printed one side only or on both sides. Printing on two sides adds another dynamic dimension to the game mechanics, as it’s possible to alter the significance of a current configuration by the option to flip a tile to its reverse side. Composite tile boards may be built of a few repeating options, or each tile may be unique.

How We Package Your Game Tiles
How do you like your tiles? We can package your tiles in individual plastic bags, or we can leave them on the punchboard and you—or your game’s players—can punch them out when you need them. If you’re ordering tiles as part of a complete custom board game design package, we’ll assemble them into your game box as you request when we move into mass production.
