Frequently asked questions
Is Gaming Linen GL29 only for board games?
No. It also suits card games and other decks built for regular handling, though its strongest fit is play-centered projects.
Does GL29 guarantee a set lifespan?
Is there a minimum order quantity for Gaming Linen GL29?
QPMN is a print-on-demand platform, with no minimum order quantity where the selected product configuration supports it. Confirm the exact product, size, finish, and options in the live workflow.
Will coatings or finishes change the thickness?
They can affect finished feel and may affect the approximate caliper. Treat ~0.33 mm as a guide, not an exact final finished-product measurement.
