A German company, active in the field of trading card games and merchandise of toys, games, decoration, and stationery, is looking for producers of so-called penny-sleeves (card sleeves) based on a manufacturing agreement.
Penny-sleeves are made for protecting collectors' cards against dirt, contamination, and bending. The searched-for sleeves need to be of a transparent material. The company needs these sleeves for all regular trading card games (tcg).
The company is looking for potential producers who would be able to produce two models, a standard model and a model with a flap. (For a better understanding see attached pictures.)
Samples of the needed sleeves are available and will be shared during a first negotiation.
The production can start straight after having agreed upon material, costs, timeframe, and transport.
There should be 100 pieces of those sleeves in one package. On the packages, the EAN-code (European Article Number) needs to be imprinted. The company is also opting for having its logo/brand on the packages.
At the moment, the company cannot define the exact number of sleeves needed.
Advantages & innovations
Being already active in the gaming industry, the German company wants to widen its activities. Considering the card sleeves, the company created its own solution and brand.
The company has created their own solutions for the penny-sleeves which will make handling them easier. The sleeves will finally be provided to customers in packages, whereas each package will contain 100 pieces of card sleeves. The package will carry the company's logo and the EAN code.
An advantage for the potential producer is to raise their own visibility in the field of trading card games.
