What Size Jigsaws and How Many Pieces Can We Make?
In short, we can make any size jigsaw you’d like with as many pieces as it needs. That said, there are certain common standards and norms which you should consider if you want to market your jigsaws commercially. Here’s a helpful list of our most popular sizes and numbers of pieces:
For Kids’ Jigsaw Puzzles
For Adults’ Jigsaw Puzzles
What Are Jigsaw Puzzles Made from?
We use two types of cardboard for the substrate of our custom jigsaw puzzles. While similar, each has its own particular properties. These materials are blue paperboard and gray paperboard.
Characteristics of Blue Paperboard
Blue paperboard is the thinnest of the two at the same weight but it is robust and firm, while giving a sharper edge after die-cutting the pieces. We recommend it for adult jigsaw puzzles.
Characteristics of Gray Paperboard
Gray paperboard is thicker at the same weight but has a more fibrous, somewhat looser texture, which makes it softer and avoids the sharp corners you get with blue paperboard. For that reason, as the pieces are bigger anyway, we recommend grayboard for children’s puzzles.
Jigsaw Puzzle Templates
Once you’ve decided on your artwork, size, number of pieces, and materials, you might wonder how you’ll design all the unique shapes and get them to fit perfectly together. But don’t worry, we’ve saved you a lot of complicated math and geometry and produced an adaptable puzzle template. You can use it yourself or just ask us and we’ll generate the shapes to cut for you so you can be sure everything will look great and fit perfectly.
How We Make Your Jigsaw Puzzles
Over the years, we’ve developed a streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective jigsaw manufacturing process which produces high-quality results every time. Here’s what you need to know, broken down into easy steps:
- Having checked and corrected the artwork files you or your designer deliver to us, we print the image onto high-grade cover paper and then coat it with varnish to protect it, keep the colors looking great, and make the artwork really “pop”
- Next, we precision glue the printed cover paper onto the selected board
- With the printed board ready, we created a die-cutting mold matched to the pieces’ layout. We test-cut to make sure everything’s working and positioned correctly. Once we’re satisfied it will give a perfect cut, we cut your jigsaws
- While this is going on, we make the rigid jigsaw box and any inserts and extras such as an accompanying booklet, flyer, or art sheet
- Now, if you want your pieces loose, we collect your cut jigsaw pieces into a plastic bag and load them into the box. We do this one jigsaw at a time to make sure that they don’t get mixed up. Otherwise, we can leave the cut pieces joined together as a sheet, and send them to you still made up.
- Your custom-made jigsaws are ready to be shipped!
We’ve developed a very reliable quality and process control protocol deploying three special operatives to check every stage of production and make sure that your jigsaws are perfectly cut, the pieces gathered without loss or damage, and the puzzle packed with care and precision into the rigid puzzle box.
