What Are Wincraft Sports Puzzles?

WinCraft has been in the puzzle and sports merchandising industry for 50 years as of 2011. Starting in 1961, WinCraft worked with local high schools as a small, four-person business. The company's foray into the world of sports puzzles has been integral in WinCraft becoming a supplier of these and other products to retailers across the country. WinCraft's reach is extensive, providing consumers with a wide array of puzzle options.

Jigsaw Puzzles
- First and foremost, WinCraft produces jigsaw puzzles. The puzzles vary widely in size (number of pieces) and difficulty. WinCraft markets directly to retail outlets, many of which indicate the appropriate age for each of the sports puzzles. Puzzle sizes range from 150 to 500 pieces. Consumers can purchase sports puzzles directly from the WinCraft website.
Collectible Packaging
- One of the more notable aspects of WinCraft's sports puzzles is the packaging. Most puzzles come in a collectible tin that is designed to match the puzzle itself. These unique tin packages are available to retailers and visitors to the WinCraft website for purchase as a separate item.
Professional Affiliations
- The reason WinCraft is noted as a leader in the sports puzzle industry is through its extensive affiliations. Wincraft states it has more than 300 licenses. This allows the company to develop and offer sports puzzles with themes from virtually every major sport and sporting event. In addition to leading sports such as professional football, baseball and basketball, WinCraft has sports puzzles with themes from NASCAR, the WNBA and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). There are also a number of individual sports stars featured in the puzzles.
College Affiliations
- WinCraft did not stop with professional sports teams affiliations. It also has a large number of college athletics through its relationship with the NCAA. With nearly 200 collegiate related licenses, almost every major college is represented. There are also options for sports puzzles and merchandise from the major Bowl Championship Series (BCS) conferences. While puzzles were and still are a large part of WinCraft's business, blankets, flags, keychains and a host of other sports-themed merchandise are also produced.
