Board Game Manufacturing Glossary

Working terms for production quotes and inbound planning.

Quick answer

MOQ, tooling, proof, pre-production sample, die-cut, insert, assembly, EXW, FOB, DDP, master carton, pallet, lead time, overage, and defect allowance must be defined in the actual quote.

Creator workflow

Capture the actual specification, quote, or platform setting for your project, then use the related calculation with those values rather than a generic market assumption.

Common mistakes

Do not treat a category label, supplier term, or platform policy as a universal product specification. Confirm the current version, territory, and contract terms that apply to you.
