If so, you could just get some two-tone foam board/mat board/cardboard and a heavy-duty guillotine cutter and cut the pieces yourself, although that’s probably a recipe for a serious repetitive stress injury and possibly a missing finger or two. Alternatively, you could find a print shop that has a bad-ass industrial guillotine cutter and just have the print shop cut your foam board/mat board/cardboard to size. The only potential catch is that these industrial cutters usually have a decent trim size tolerance so smaller pieces won’t necessarily have the precise dimensions you need, not to mention print shops usually have a minimum cut size and may refuse to cut pieces smaller than n″.<BR>You could also try and find a place that has a flat-bed cutting plotter – signage shops and packaging prototype business use them, though to be frank, I have no idea how cost-effective this option is.<BR>Finally, you could go the laser cutting route. <A HREF="http://www.customlasercutting.com/examples/ex05" REL="nofollow">Here’s a place</A> that actually uses game/puzzle pieces as an example of the sort of work they do. Plenty of info on the site, including pricing info. Supposedly, they can even cut paper and cardboard, although if you’re going to go with laser cutting, you could just as well use a <A HREF="http://www.customlasercutting.com/info/materials#acrylic" REL="nofollow">two-tone acrylic</A> for your material.<BR>Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584370905928477397noreply@blogger.com
