I am looking at producing some quad-fold game boards for prototyping, preferably 18 x 18 or 24 x 24 inches.
Can most large print shops handle a job like this, or is this more specialty work that only a few companies actually produce? If anyone can suggest a company which can print a small run at competitive prices, with good quality and customer service, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark Bates

TheGameCrafter produces print-on-demand quad fold boards which are good for prototyping and small print runs. They are 18 x 18 inches (only 1 size available) and cost $10 each (+ packaging, freight, etc, so it will be more than that in total).

I haven't actually printed a quad-fold from TGC, but I've printed lots of other components from them and I'm happy with their quality and customer service.

I have not yet used these guys yet, but they are worth looking into. He told me he only has a 1 week turn around time. http://printplaygames.com/
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with us. I'd like the opportunity to make it right. Please contact me at jt at the game crafter dot com, and I'll do whatever I can to make it right.

Thanks, Kos, for this suggestion. I had actually tried The Game Crafter, but after some issues with the templates on their website, I found their customer service to be rather lacking. I was trying to avoid specifically calling them out in my first post, but I was hoping there would be other options out there.
Thanks again,
Mark
