So..I was looking for ways I could case small game series into a single box whilest retaining their original boxes.
I'm looking to do something like this, you guys have know of any way I might go about doing this?


The box around the games is the thing I'm looking to make, I want to make a bunch of custom ones for various games.

I've done this before.  Just need heavy enough paper if you're just trying to make a slip-in sleeve versus an actual box.









And this is just a slip cover with the same paper.

Or... *Sniff* you can print it out on regular glossy paper, spray that printout with spray adhesive, and stick it to properly sized card stock.  :D
Don't get angry with me Wiggy because I suggested spray adhesive!!!

LOL!  I used Super77 to adhere the prints for my portable Zelda box set (which didn't really turn out the way I wanted, and has since been put on the back burner).  Definitely a good use for it IMO as well, especially if you wan to make a proper box that'll have some good structural rigidity ;)

I used the glue stick for the Mario sets above.  A lot easier to control where the adhesive goes, plus I didn't need to cover a very big area.

So...lets see, Card stock, glue sticks (or Super 77) and the prints for the box (I need to make the box art for the box).
Alright! Thanks for your help! I'm going to get on it and when I'm done I'll post pics.
