It's time to say Goodbye
After a little over a decade, we have made the difficult decision to close Print and Play. This decision does not come lightly, as we understand the impact it will have on both the gaming community and our team members.


We invested heavily to keep Print and Play operating as long as possible. However, the highly detailed, hands-on work required to produce our level of quality through a small team ultimately cost more than we could charge customers. At the same time, we chose to fully support our employees with comprehensive benefits, including 100% health insurance coverage, a 401(k), and a robust paid time off program. We also moved into a new state-of-the-art facility to provide a more appropriate workspace, and invested in new laser equipment in recent years. Combined with lease obligations and rising material costs, these factors significantly increased our operating expenses. Unlike some competitors, we are not backed by private equity, so we did not have access to large external capital to offset these challenges. 


Print and Play will finish all remaining orders in-house and officially close its doors on March 27th. 

We deeply appreciate all of the creatives, designers, and publishers who have allowed our team to contribute to this amazing industry over the years. We’re truly proud of the work that Print and Play has put out into the world and would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their years of patronage.


Questions can be directed to sales@admagic.com with 
“Print and Play” in the subject line if it refers to Print and Play specifically, or “Quote request” if you need pricing on your project.  We will do our best to answer you as soon as possible.  Ad Magic will still be available to handle your printing needs.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared anything from the @printplaygames.com office! We’ve been absolutely slammed out here and it’s super hard to take a breather. Nice to sit down and reflect on some of the cool board game prototypes that have passed through the shop every once and awhile 😊
