Soar Print utilised the HP R2000 flatbed printer to print onto varied rigid substrates.
Our team created a unique print solution for this stunning Ngati Ranginui board game - comprising of laser cut printed plywood boards, games cards, instruction booklets, double-sided laser-cut clear acrylic game characters all encased in a jute drawstring printed bag.

The intention of this game is to promote the iwi (tribe) of Ngati Ranginui and let the world know who they are. Therefore the game is based around their waka (canoe) that their eponymous ancestor Tamatearikinui came over on and the issue that he begat, one such as Ranginui, of which the tribe is named after. That shows not only the connections to other iwi (tribes) across the country, but also the skills and feats that those ancestors were well known for and that the people of Ngati Ranginui can be proud of.
The game is pitched at ages 7+ years, and can be played two fold. One way of playing the game is simply using the game board, dice and figurines to make your way across the board, following the cues on the board. While the more challenging way to play is to make your way across the board while answering the questions on the cards as you land on different stations on the game board. The game can be played individually or in teams.
The limited-edition Board Game components consisted of:
4mm Poplar Plywood Printed was printed using a 4 colour process plus White, on the HP R2000 large format flatbed printer which was then laser cut to size.
Also utilising the R2000 large format printer was the 3mm clear cast acrylic game characters which were printed in 3 layers, CMYK colour then a white layer followed by another CMYK layer in order to make the characters double sided. They were then laser cut to size and mounted onto router cut clear cast acrylic bases.
56 kinds of game cards, were printed on the HP Indigo 7800 press along with an A4 instruction booklet.
All of the components were consolidated into jute drawstring printed heat-sealed tote bag with die cut hand grips with screen-printed branding.
