How Jigsaw Puzzles are Made

Many of us turned to completing jigsaw puzzles during the pandemic to find enjoyment, pass time, connect with others and flex our brains a little bit. But these amazing artworks made of cardboard may seem simple to make but have you ever wondered just how the jigsaw puzzles you love are created? How does the artwork get turned into a puzzle? Does someone sit and cut each piece individually? Do they use a real jigsaw? Hopefully not, as both seem ineffective. Creating puzzles is a very interesting manufacturing process with a handful of steps. If interested, let’s explore How Jigsaw Puzzles are Made

How jigsaw puzzles are made

1. Which is the most challenging part of making a jigsaw puzzle? The tricky part about creating a jigsaw puzzle is not the pieces to be cut or the thickness of the cardboard to be cut into, but the assembly of the pieces together to form the final puzzle. The better the puzzle, the harder it is to put together and the process takes a lot more time. This is because the pieces of the puzzle must be put together to form a cohesive whole. 2. How is a jigsaw puzzle made? Every puzzle is made up of a minimum of 25 pieces and it’s the piece that connects with another piece of the puzzle that holds the puzzle together. This ensures that every piece fits perfectly together. Since no two pieces are the same, it’s impossible to put them together in any other way.

The puzzle box

The puzzle boxes you find on the market are pretty much similar. They are beautifully crafted by craftsmen and women, and are crafted to make you feel welcome when opening them. They are also high quality, with fine crafting materials. However, creating a puzzle box of quality is a very complex process. There are many components and parts that make a puzzle box. The manufacturers must not only find a way to make each of these components perfect, but also need to find a way to fit it all together in the best way possible. The puzzle box to be created is usually called a puzzle box model. It needs to be able to hold multiple pieces and assemble in order to be a good puzzle model. You might also be wondering about the term model here, which basically refers to the whole process as a whole.

The puzzle board

The first step in a jigsaw puzzle is actually the jigsaw board. This is the thick cardboard the actual puzzle is cut from. Jigsaw puzzles don’t actually have a board itself, they have a “board of box size”. This means they are large enough that they can be pulled apart or kept together. The next step is the cardboard jigsaw board, which is the finished product. A jigsaw puzzle is made up of different sized pieces, so a board with a hole for each piece makes it easier to place them all into the proper places. The jigsaw puzzle shape Another main part of the process is the shape of the jigsaw. This is where everything is put together and has to follow a certain set of criteria to make it a puzzle. A jigsaw is generally not just a square or a rectangle.

The puzzle pieces

Once the artwork is created, the puzzles make their way into a manufacturing process called the jigsaw puzzle making process. This is what it is basically. The large cardboard puzzle maker with the movable part is placed onto a table. This brings the puzzle-making machine into place. A screw driver is inserted in the two holes in the top of the table. The machine sits on the screws and takes the hole down into a hollow shaped opening in the table top. The large plastic pull is attached on top of this while the small plastic slide pulls out. Once the pull is attached, the mechanical movement begins. The machine makes the jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle maker does the mechanical part.
