Custom boxed sets.
Umbra:
Yeah for this box I actually used photo gloss paper that was nearly as rigid as cardstock. It would've been sturdy enough to hold the boxes if not for me missing the dimensions by about a half inch.
The next box I work on may be for something a bit less huge in terms of sheer number of games; maybe something like Kingdom Hearts or Prince of Persia. You said just regular cardstock would work? Or is it something a bit thicker?
wiggy:
How many games? If it's just a few, than a 10-12 pt stock should work fine on its own. Any more than that, and I'd consider using a heavier paper board and mounting prints to it in order to make a rigid enough box.
Umbra:
For most of the sets, no more than three games. Final Fantasy was the exception since I needed a box to hold nine games.
I'd assume the 10-12pt Stock would be the same to use for a slipcover as well.
