Best for

Choose custom branded puzzles if your moment is direct-mail and pr drops, conference and delegate gifting or family-facing brand campaigns.

Direct-mail and PR drops

A 100 or 300-piece branded jigsaw in a printed rigid box is the piece that gets opened on the kitchen table, not on the commute. Full-colour campaign imagery edge-to-edge, a hand-written note inside the lid, and you've bought yourself an hour of your audience's attention.

Conference and delegate gifting

Travel-sized 50 or 100-piece puzzles, wooden brain teasers or metal puzzle cubes live on the desk long after the lanyard comes off. Choose pieces small enough for carry-on, with tin or slim-box packaging that survives the flight home.

Family-facing brand campaigns

Chunky 24-piece puzzles for kids, co-branded with illustration commissioned through our in-house design studio. Health brands, retail, and family-facing FMCG use these as gift-with-purchase pieces that parents genuinely post about.

Team engagement and onboarding

A 500-piece puzzle of the team photo, the office floorplan, or a hand-illustrated brand map makes the slow welcome that remote-first teams quietly love. Ship flat-packed to home addresses with a branded card and kettle-ready coffee sachet.

We sent a 500-piece puzzle to 300 top clients as the centrepiece of our end-of-year drop. Every LinkedIn post we saw that week had the puzzle half-finished on someone's dining table — which is every brand manager's dream.

The Sense2 team caught a piece-fit issue in the proof that we'd never have spotted, and rerouted us to a better die-cut. The finished puzzles arrived beautifully packed, a few days ahead of when we needed them.

How to choose

Start with the moment, not the piece count — that's the part we enjoy most about a puzzle brief. If the puzzle is landing on a doormat as part of a direct-mail drop, scale it to the audience's attention: a 100-300 piece jigsaw finishes in an evening, a 500-piecer becomes a weekend project, and a 1,000-piecer is a statement piece for VIP lists where you want the brand on the table for a fortnight. For conference swag and delegate packs, stay at 50-100 pieces with tin or slim-box packaging — small enough for carry-on, substantial enough to feel like a considered gift rather than a giveaway. Print method matters more than people expect. Full-colour edge-to-edge digital print on the puzzle face is standard, but the registration on the die-cut is where cheap puzzles fail — lines through faces, text split across pieces, gradients that shift mid-image. Our in-house design studio checks bleed and piece-fit on every brief before press. For the presentation box, spot UV lifts a logo off a matte stock beautifully, foil stamp works hard on dark boards, and tone-on-tone deboss reads as quietly premium on kraft or linen-finish board. On material story: FSC-certified greyboard and art paper are our default for jigsaws — recycled content available on request, and we can route you to sustainable plywood for wooden brain teasers if the campaign has a sustainability lens. For longer-life keepsakes, consider a rigid gift box with magnetic closure or a printed tin — the puzzle goes back in the box, the box stays on the shelf, and the brand stays in the room. MOQs sit at 100-500 for most jigsaw formats and 250-1,000 for wooden and metal puzzles. Below 100, digital-print postcard puzzles at 50-120 pieces are a smart route for small-batch creative runs. Always request a sample — the weight of the pieces, the snap of the fit and the finish of the box are what the creative director actually decides on. Samples ship in 48 hours, and fast can still feel thoughtful.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 250 units with full-colour digital print, a 100-piece jigsaw in a printed card box sits around AU$6.50-$11 per unit, a 500-piece jigsaw in a rigid box AU$9.50-$18, and a 1,000-piece premium puzzle AU$14-$28. Wooden brain teasers run AU$4.50-$12 at 250qty; metal puzzle cubes AU$5.80-$14. Postcard puzzles start at AU$3.20. Spot UV, foil stamp and deboss on boxes add AU$0.80-$2.20 per unit. Artwork setup AU$85-$165 once-off depending on complexity.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom branded puzzles?

Most full-colour jigsaw puzzles start at 100-500 units depending on piece count and box format. Wooden brain teasers and metal puzzle cubes sit at 250-1,000. For small-batch creative runs, digital-print postcard puzzles at 50-120 pieces are available from 50 units. Larger briefs (2,000+) drop 25-40% from the 250-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote.

How long do branded puzzles take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 10-18 business days from artwork approval, allowing for die-cutting, full-colour print registration and box assembly. Express 5-7 days is available on stocked blanks with full-colour digital print for late briefs. Samples ship in 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse so your creative team can check piece-fit and print fidelity before artwork lock.

What print and branding methods do you offer on puzzles?

Full-colour edge-to-edge digital print is standard on the puzzle face, lid and box — CMYK with spot Pantone matching available. Presentation boxes can carry spot UV, foil stamp (gold, silver, rose gold, holographic), tone-on-tone deboss and full-colour litho print. Wooden brain teasers take laser engraving or pad print; metal cubes take pad print and full-colour digital wrap.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Free blank samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse so your creative team can check piece thickness, snap-fit and box finish. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on runs of 500+ and strongly recommended for full-colour campaign imagery — the registration on a die-cut puzzle is where the creative either lands beautifully or doesn't.

Do you offer eco-friendly and sustainable puzzle options?

Yes. Our default puzzle stock is FSC-certified greyboard and art paper, with recycled-content options available on request. Wooden brain teasers use sustainable plywood, and we can route presentation packaging through kraft, recycled board or printed tin (infinitely recyclable). For sustainability-led campaigns we'll supply certification references and material stories for your creative write-up.

Can you kit puzzles with other items for a direct-mail drop?

Yes — kitting is one of the reasons agencies brief puzzles with us. We pair jigsaws with branded drinkware, tea and coffee sachets, hand-written cards, tote bags and hampers, pack into custom rigid or mailer boxes, and split-ship to home addresses or state offices. Timed-release dispatch for embargoed launches at no extra handling.
