So a couple of friends and I are working on a miniature/card game that we'd like to eventually try to sell to people, and we've been researching production lately but we've come across a couple of snags:
1) Where to even have the cards/paper products for the game printed. I know there's a Minuteman Press near me but I'm not sure they're really that kind of establishment.
2) Where the hell to get retail boxes for the game. I haven't got a clue where to start.
We've got just about everything else under control, just those two things elude us and I've kind of taken the lead on the project because reasons.
Any ideas?

Retail Boxes.
Also here is a DIY link list from Board Game Geeks.
What kind of game is it?
It's sort of a card game with board game and wargame elements. Essentially, you have a deck of cards that represent spells, equipment, and battlefield effects, and you have a mini that represents your spellcaster. You move the mini around the board trying to wipe out your opponent by playing up to a certain amount of spells per turn.
The minis we have under control. I'm in touch with a few companies that would be able to work with us on this. The minis are more a matter of getting the money.
That sounds really similar to Mage Wars. May be something to look into before you invest a lot of money into it. Miniatures and board games are a really competitive market and pretty hard to break into.
