This is how the box should have been designed...
Whoops! I have been working on trays for my Zombies!!! game and TWICE I freakin' miscalculated. At least on the first tray I caught it on the mock-ups. I just finished the larger tray which is supposed to optimize space in the box and it did just the opposite... Not sure what I was thinking. I guess I was a little rushed when I started designing the schematic. I even printed it today once and saw before cutting it was off and missing parts and edited it. Oh well.
New schematic done.
The one thing that sucks is that I am running out of paper. I get these design magazines that have paper sample in them - you know the ones that are all stiff and make it difficult to thumb through the magazine? I have been using those cause they are pretty heavy. I'd guess 60#-100# card stock. Plus, because they are printed on, they make interesting trays.
The card tray:
The mockup shows what it looks like with the cards in the tray
The playing piece bin-tray:
Nice - but way too big for its intended purpose
The re-engineered bin(s)
After making a bin that worked, I decided to make two bins with subdivisions for all the game pieces. Bonus, the bins are designed to be used during game play.
Naturally, I ate out of bins!
Bins keep things neat.
