Universal Game Cases
« on: May 04, 2013, 12:56:12 PM »
Spent a few hours today working on this project.  I'm thinking about ordering another box.





Has anyone had success creating their own covers from scans?  I have a handful of games that the cover project doesn't have up on their site.

Wow, those look really nice! 

I do some DVD production so have plenty of spare DVD cases on hand, which I've used to print off cases for loose PS1 and Saturn games, but have never thought to create cases for my loose NES games. How much do those cases run?

You can pick up the cases here: http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=USCG and I snagged all the covers here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/

There's also some DS cases out there you can use for GB, GBA, DS and VB games.

I am going to order a box if someone wants to go in halfsies. Shipments come in 100.

And I have made my own box art by using the templates on Coverproject and adding game art.

What's the total with shipping?  I might be interested.

I used straight up legal paper that i "borrowed" from work on a color laserjet.  The plastic sleeve on the case gives it enough gloss for me.

It's pretty quick work with a dremel. I did about 40 of them and I don't think it took more than 1/2 hour.
