Hey Guys.
Since I am a huge Fan of the old SNES Games and don't have access to any of the cool storage solutions that you guys in the US or other parts of the world have, i have started designing my own covers.
They are for VHS Cases  (the Covers-Size is: 3035x2291 pixel or 25,696 cm x 19,397 cm or 10,117 inch x 7,637 inch) because these VHS-Cases are easy and cheap to get here in Germany (It's the format, that was used for video cassettes before the arrival of the CD/DVD Era)
I have designed around a 100 Covers (so far only for SNES). Maybe some of you will like and use them. I still haven't figured out, where to properly upload them, so that you can download them.

Nicely done there Zach, I always appreciate it when people find creative ways to solve storage solution.

Not to rain on your parade here, as you have obviously put a lot of effort into boxing your games in VHS boxes.......but the place where I get my Universal Game Cases here in the UK (at a great price) also ships to Europe.

Here is the link for them if you ever feel the need to go the UGC approach (this link is just for 1 UGC but they do multiple bundles for any amount of them really) =

Thanks, but you seem to forget one thing:

One Universal Game Case is 1,99 £, which is : 2,82 Euro

I buy my VHS Cases for 2,49€ which is 1,76 £ for 5 Cases. ( 1 Case is 0,49€ or 0,35 £ )

You see that my solution is the one with much more Work to put into it, but it is many times cheaper. AAND: You get to design all those cool cases for yourself. At least for me, it is more fun than work ;)

Looks like you've stretched all the logos.  When resizing a template, it's est to start with a fresh document and import all your elements in, rather than just resizing the image.

Ohh I didnt forget that man, I just thought you were saying that you couldnt get hold of UGC's in Germany, so was trying to help out IF you wanted to go that route at some point.

But as you say, cost is key here and you can get your collection boxed for much less than importing UGC's.

Good luck to you, ohh and welcome to the forums as well!
