Our pinball playfields are done in-house. Your playfield will come direct from pinball designer with both machine data and a top-down layout image that you can use as a reference guide to draw your artwork.

Pricing
Playfield Cut: $250 - Your playfield is cut out and shipped without artwork. Typically you only want it without artwork if you feel like you want to iterate a few designs before or you decide on a final layout.

Playfield Art (Option 1): $150 - A pre-printed artwork is overlayed. This is a very high quality and vibrant artwork glued down onto the playfield. With this option the light bleeds directly through the artwork rather than through an insert or other material that light would shine through. The artwork is then protected by an anti-scratch overlay.

Playfield Art (Option 2): $500 - If you are using standard pinball insert designs, these will be glued into the playfield. The inserts get sanded. Then your artwork is printed directly onto the wood, followed by a clear coat. After this a flat sand and polish step takes place.

Playfield Art (Option 3): $560 - If you have custom pinball insert shapes, a custom insert process must take place to create the light shapes. A resin is mixed and poured into the holes. This requires extra preparation and work. This also requires an additional 3-day hardening period. Then your artwork is printed directly onto the wood, followed by a clear coat. After this a flat sand and polish step takes place.

Playfield Plastics(Optional): $120 - If you any raised plastics such as ball guides or inlane guides, these can be printed and cut directly from pinball designer. Flat charge for your entire game including any standup character artwork such as you would see on the X-Men or Foo Fighters Pro models.

Each playfield starts from a piece of 1/2" 7-ply wood with a maple top and bottom. This is pretty standard across the industry.

The playfield is exported directly from Pinball Designer and machine cut.

Next the playfield will go through 1 of 3 different options. Print Overlay, Resin Inserts, or Standard Inserts.

For Resin and Standard Inserts, artwork is applied, then a clear coat. For the print overlay, no clear coat or inserts are needed.
