If you&#8217;re printing on a basic black background\u200a\u2014\u200awhich is often the case with board games, even if ultimately the area is overlaid with full-color artwork\u200a\u2014\u200athen make sure not to use 100% black.

If you can&#8217;t manage to work out the dielines for your puzzle, fear not, we&#8217;ll do it for you. Just tell us the dimensions for your jigsaw and how many pieces you want it to be (anything from two to 1,000+) and we&#8217;ll do the math and geometry and send you a template. Once you have your template, just add your artwork and you&#8217;re good to go!
