Pricing Changes

The Game Crafter - The Leading Print On Demand Game Publisher

It has been our pleasure to be your game manufacturer over the past nearly 5 years. We want to support you in everything we do. We’re constantly refining our processes, upgrading our raw materials, and equipment, and as a result our costs increase. After careful analysis we found we’ve been losing money on several items. In order to stay in business for another five years, we unfortunately find ourselves in the difficult position of raising prices on some of our printed components.

Here is the complete list of changes:

Documents go from $0.45 to $0.65 per sheet.
Small, Medium, Large, Tall, and Tarot Booklets go from $0.82 to $0.98 per sheet.
Jumbo Booklets go from $0.99 to $1.10 per sheet.
Dice Stickers go from $2.75 to $4.09 per sheet.
Token Stickers go from $2.75 to $3.68 per sheet.
Small Square Mats go from $1.56 to $1.73 per sheet.
Skinny Mats go from $1.56 to $1.63 per sheet.
18 Card Wraps go from $1.99 to $2.21 per sheet.
Medium Game Boxes go from $4.99 to $5.25 per sheet.

We realize many of you are working on entries for The Flux Capacity Publishing Challenge and these prices could hurt your entries, so we’ve increased the max cost to $44.99 to help make up the difference.

We are in the process of contacting those of you with outstanding Crowd Funding Manufacturing Agreements to negotiate a solution for those of you who have already launched your Crowd Funding Campaigns.

Make sense except...

All these pricing changes make a lot of sense. The only one I have a question about is "Dice Stickers". The price goes up from $2.75 to $4.09... And it's still an all or nothing proposition?!

Perhaps if TGC divided their sheets, this item might be more affordable. I think this has already been asked for in the Ideas section.

If so, my apologies for mentioning it again.

That's a fair and good idea

That's a fair and good idea and we could actually reduce the price somewhat by offering a smaller sheet size for dice stickers. Do you have an opinion on how big the sheet size should be? Stickers for 4 dice maybe? Or 6?

6 dice

I think separating by 6 dice makes the most sense, simply because it is divisible by 2,3, and 6 meaning anyone who has a set of dice also divisible by any of those numbers can find a sweet spot.

Ex.
This game has 18 dice, it is good.
This one has 3, it is good. (would get two dice out of each sheetlet)
This one has 2, also good. (would get 3 dice out of each sheetlet)
This one has 24, still good.
This one has 1, really good. (Gets 6 dice out of each sheetlet)

(If I understand math correctly.)

Either or, but the current

Either or, but the current offering is 120 stickers for $4.09 or the equivalent of 20 dice.

If people have already designed games around the use of 20 dice or 120 stickers an equal division would seem best. With a division of 6 a person with such a game would need 4 sets, leading to an extra 4 dice.

4 would seem the best solution, but it boils down to price and how the labour cost works out. 4 at 0.80c would be good, but 4 at a price in excess of 0.80c (if labour costs hike things up) may seem like a further price increase.

I agree with BubbleChucks

4 at a price of about 0.80c (which includes all labour costs) seems reasonable. It offsets the price of having to keep track of the smaller sheets and offers good value to everyone! :)
