Along with exact demension sized boxes i had another little idea aswell. Question 3: How about a box scaled down to fit just the cart? My idea was since all my N64 covers are going to be custom in vertical orientation i thought it would be fun to have the "original" style box on the inside of the UGC holding my game. I just did a test print at office max to see if everything would all work. Mark 1 - My fist test with the little box fit perfectly to the cart ... in fact too perfect. I'm going to make another revision a little bit bigger so the cart can slide in and out easier of the little box. Also i'm going to add some duplicate flps that will over lay on each other so the box will be a bit sturdier. Here are some pictures to give you guys an idea of what i was brainstorming. I printed the cover on label paper and stuck that to a thin peice of cardboard. ($0.89 per sheet) Cart comparison to box (the box does close btw but i still want to make the mox slightly bigger to give the cart a bit more breathing room) Tell me what you think! EDIT: Mark2 - I went back to officemax and printed out another box and this time it was 100% perfect! The cart slides in and out perfectly. I added some duplicte flaps like i said i was going to (the flaps over lay the same flap) and it made the box much sturdier and looking much more flush. I'll show some picturea of that later but i'm at work and i don't have an ipod cable to transfer the new pictures of the new box. |

That's a great idea and a real nice job you did crafting that. Thumbs up! |

(I decided to split this into its own topic and moved it to general discussion so everyone can see it :) ) Here are some pictures of mark2 (my revision) of WWF No Mercy Mini replica box. The cover is only slightly bigger as i said before and fits perfect now. The arrows point to the extra duplicate flaps that overlay the same flap on the other side of the box. These flaps do NOT get stuck on the cardboard as the rest of the box does. The flaps are only there to provide a more flush surface on the edges and make the box sturdier. This image shows the comparison of the first and 2nd box. The angle may fool you but both boxes are almost the same size. Mark 2 is the box on the bottom, notice how the edges are much more flush with the rest of the box. Mark1 required superglue to attach each part of the box together. Mark2 uses no glue (because of the extra flaps), fits better, is much sturdier and looks much better. As always, Tell me what you think! |

PLEASE DO THIS WITH EVERY GAME THAT IS A CARTRIDGE!!!! OH MY IS THAT THE MOST GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD!!! I really dont want to talk in caps, but OMG! Usually I am non-enthusiastic with any of my comments, but those are seriously amazing!! I have a question though, is there legal sized paper (I am assuming that you are using a legal sized paper correct?) that is thicker than the normal sheet, say card stock legal sized paper? **edit** I would REALLY love to see more of this!! As I would LOVE to case my extra games in these cases. I have 2 Super Mario 64's with no reason to waste extra space placing 2 Super Mario 64 UGC's on the same shelf. Systems I would love to see this idea with 1) N64 the most, seeing that it is already started 2) SNES --> I have soo many games that are duplicates with this system 3) Sega Genesis --> Now, yes, they dont have original 'cardboard' boxes, but to fit games in one of these, droolz. |
