HOW & WHERE WE PRODUCE

Toy safety

Our custom-made games are tested by certified institutes for conforming to the safety requirements for toys for children aged 3 years and above as specified by European standard EN71. This covers a range of aspects, such as the non-toxicity of printing paints, small pieces posing a risk of being swallowed by infants, and many others. The standard has been tightened only recently and you may rest assured that our products pose no risk to players.

Please note that unless explicitly stated otherwise, our customised games are certified for ages 3 (36 months) and above only. Under no circumstances should younger children gain access to our games, as some of them might pose serious health risks, mainly but not exclusively as they might contain small parts that could constitute a choking hazard.

Raw material sourcing

You will find detailed information on the materials from which a particular personalised game is made in the product description of that game.

Wherever possible, we use paper, cardboard, and wood, and we constantly strive to make that possible for more of our games. For example, we substituted the standard, non-customised plastic boxes for playing cards with boxes made from cardboard in 2021 as part of this aim.

Nearly all wood for our deluxe customised game options is sourced from sustainable forestry of European forests. Since the palette of relevant certificates, such as FSC, PEFC, Naturland, etc... for our various games is constantly changing, it is not feasible to update this information at every turn. If you have a question regarding a particular game or game accessory, we would therefore ask you contact us via support@luudoo.com.

There are some customised games, the Magic Cube for instance, for which we haven't found a viable material to replace the use of, in the case of the Cube, plastic, or other non-sustainable materials.

Manufacturing

All of our games are personalised in the European Union. The majority of the manufacturing and the final processing of each custom-made game happens in Germany, but some of the more specialist personalisation aspects of some games are executed in other European countries and then shipped on to us.

Sutainability

We currently focus all of our sustainability efforst on the raw materials we use, as these have the greatest environmental impact and are entirely in our control. There are more things that could be done, but some of them require putting considerable pressure on our partners, e. g. using reuseable energy for all production machinery. And there are others we consider greenwashing, e. g. carbon-offsetting the delivery to end consumers. In case you want to find out more please send an email to support@luudoo.com.
