FAQ (FAQ)
Q: What custom deck boxes can be made?
A: Almost any card game or system! We designed boxes for MTG (standard, Commander Deck in various sizes), Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! , Cardfight! Vanguard, Arkham Horror LCG Package, NetRunner, and even unique storage for board game components.
Q: How durable is the 3D printed plastic deck box?
A: High-quality engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), PEG or ABS are very durable and can resist daily dripping and wear. Choosing the materials designed for the resistance design is key. For extreme durability, SLM printed metal boxes offer unparalleled toughness.
Q: Is the metal deck box safe for my card?
Answer: Absolute. Greatlight uses inert materials such as stainless steel or titanium. Carefully designed to ensure there are no sharp edges in contact with the card. Compared to some plastics, the thermal conductivity of metal can actually benefit from adjusting the smaller temperature/humidity variations inside the box, although the card should still be sleeved.
Q: How long does it usually take to receive a custom deck box?
A: The timeline depends on design complexity, selected materials and completion requirements. Simple plastic prototypes can be very fast. Complex metal designs with high-end finishes take longer. Greatlight prioritizes speed in our fast prototype core competitiveness. A typical project from days to weeks of final product. We provide a clear estimate timeline during the citation period.
Q: Is it expensive to get a one-time custom box?
A: While essentially more expensive than mass-produced items, Greatlight focuses on providing competitive prices for customized items. Cost varies greatly depending on size, material selection (standard plastic vs. quality metal), design complexity and finishing level. A simple well-designed printed plastic box is surprisingly accessible. We strive to provide options within our budget.
Q: Do I need to provide 3D files?
Answer: Not necessarily! It would be great if you have a ready-made print CAD file (e.g. .stl, .step). However, most of our customers start with ideas, sketches, or descriptions. Greatlight’s engineering team specializes in your concept and turns it into a manufacturable 3D model.
Q: Can you match a specific color or finish?
Answer: Absolute. For plastic boxes, a variety of basic material colors exist, and in addition, we offer professional painting or dyeing. For metal boxes (SLM printing), we offer polishing, bead blasting, anodizing (creating vibrant colors on titanium or aluminum), and paint/powder coatings. We work together to achieve the exact look you want.
Q: Can my deck box include moving parts such as hinges or latches?
Answer: Yes! One of the advantages of 3D printing is the creation of functional components. We bring integrated hinge mechanisms, safety buckles, sliding latches and other moving features directly into the print or assembled components, ensuring reliable operation. This is seamlessly processed thanks to our one-stop manufacturing capabilities.
