Why Choose QPMN for Your Custom TCG?
Designing a game is hard work. Fulfilling orders shouldn't be. Our infrastructure is built to support game designers, illustrators, and publishers by handling the manufacturing and logistics directly.
Launch Without Inventory Risk
Test new mechanics and gauge player interest without filling your garage with unsold inventory. Through our print-on-demand (no minimums) model, we manufacture exactly what your community buys. Whether a fan wants a single promo card or a full starter deck, zero minimum order quantity (MOQ) drastically reduces the financial barrier for independent designers.
Focus on Game Design, Not Logistics
Stop spending your weekends taping boxes. Connect your Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom storefront directly to our API for seamless automated order fulfillment. When a player purchases your self-hosted trading card games, the data flows instantly to our production floor. We manufacture, pack, and dropship directly to your supporters under your own studio's branding.
Deliver Authentic Pack Openings
Give your players the thrill of cracking packs without the traditional manufacturing barriers. Our automated collation engine accurately sorts your commons, uncommons, and rare pulls to create true randomized booster packs on demand. You can offer a legitimate sealed draft experience with zero minimum order requirements—even if a fan buys just a single pack.
Combine Orders to Lower Printing Costs
Stretch your publishing budget further. Unlock bulk pricing by combining orders for different deck designs, shipping addresses, and fulfillment dates. Lower your per-unit costs across all your base sets and expansions without the risk of overprinting through our Flexibulk Saving system.
