Puzzles & Tangrams

Buying puzzles & tangrams from the factory

A puzzle looks like a simple flat item until a buyer compares board thickness, knob construction and the age printed on the box. We make 198 puzzle SKUs across chunky first puzzles, peg puzzles, framed jigsaws, floor puzzles and tangrams, from a two-piece first puzzle up to a framed floor jigsaw, FOB Ningbo. The piece count is the least useful number on its own, because a 24-piece floor puzzle with large, indistinct pieces can be harder for a three-year-old than a 48-piece jigsaw with a clear picture guide. Age grading is a safety decision first - knob size, small parts and cord length decide whether a puzzle can carry an 18m+ or 3+ mark - while difficulty is a separate judgment.

Board quality shows up after a few weeks in a dry shop or a humid classroom. A 3 mm poplar ply can bow, while a 4-5 mm birch ply with a void-free core stays flatter and takes a printed image without delamination. Print gives fine detail, and paint with a sealed edge hides the grain and tolerates more handling, but paint can chip at a knob, so ask for the production sample and a carton-dimension sheet rather than a catalog photo. For puzzle specifications, age grading and test files, see <a href="/quality/">quality and certifications</a>.

Mix this range with others in one container — carton counts and CBM are confirmed on the quote, and we will suggest a loading plan before you commit.
