SNES Cart Label Question

[kenshinrurouni]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make SNES labels to replace damaged labels on carts? Is there a certain type of product that can produce very similar/exact snes labels? or what is the best label paper for a Epson inkjet printer? I'm asking because I have Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden 3 on a SNES cart (U.S.) And i'd like to replace its label. Thanks for looking

I'd use an Epson glossy photo paper and a permanent spray adhesive. You're not gonna be able to find a high enough quality adhesive backed paper to do it in one step.

I'd recommend 3M Super 77 or 90. Both provide a permanent bond if used properly and should adhere the label smoothly unlike a liquid/paste/tube adhesive. It's messy crap though. Get some disposable gloves and spray outside. It'll leave a nice sticky film on everything within a good 10 foot radius in the house if you try and do it indoors.

thanks for the suggestion! but i was wondering if there was any type of shipping label paper that is the same quality of snes labels, so i can just print it easily.

I made a Photoshop template for American SNES labels. Here's the link.

Like I was saying, you won't find self-adhesive paper in the quality that you need for a cart label.  It's just not really available at the consumer level.

Thank you Moviefan2k4! Im assuming I need open this in adobe photoshop to finish the label? And when I open it in that program, will it allow me to type in the Game Title, # and put in the picture in the same format/font as the template without changing anything?

Oh ok I understand Wiggy, thank you, you guys are very helpful!

See- thought labels seems like a waste.

I don't think he's actually trying to do see through labels (I know he posted that link, but I think it was a mistake).

The text layers are fully editable, and everything else is kept on a separate layer, too.
