Which print on demand company can produce 200 gameboxes?

Paragon Packaging, perhaps?

I have them bookmarked for some reason, and have no idea if they are good or not.

yup, choose 2:

-low cost
-low print run
-good looking packaging

We don't do sleeves so much as "wraps".

Sleeves go over the box but can be slid off. We print wraps which get attached directly to a blank box, wrapped around it, then glued down to itself and the box.

Our communications have been a bit slow as of late. Especially this December as the holiday season more than doubled our sales at the retail store compared to our average month. We remain fairly backed up on POD orders as well and are working to get caught up on those also.

Most cost effective is to do it yourself - and it won't be telescoping. Go to your local UPS or shipping store and check the shipping boxes they have there.

You can order bulk online here-

The only problem with these boxes is - you have to make your own labels. Which is a two edged sword. You have to do it yourself - but you have complete control over what the label looks like. For labels, you simply go to your local office supply store and buy whatever AVERY / generic label size you need for your boxes. This route will put your game in a decent box for $1 - $2 total. If you can get a better deal than that for 100-200 print run - take it!

Did I mention getting your own laser printer to do your labels with? You can pick up this SAMSUNG CLP-300 on ebay for $110-

You can usually find this little gem for $120-$200. You can also usually find a complete set of ink toner carts there for $60. Compare that to getting your color printing done at your local print shop. I did my rulebooks and two color inserts for the $150 it cost me to BUY the printer/ink compared to paying the local printer $400 to do it for me.

And I still have the printer and some ink left. ;-)
