Questions regarding Super Famicom boxes

[redstar]

Hello,

I have a ton of Super Famicom carts from when I was young. Problem I have is, I have lost over time the manuals and boxes. I am going to set out and re-make these boxes. The issue I am faced with is the proper dimensions for the Super Famicom boxes (The vertical Japanese boxes) I have searched around on this site and the forum, however I cannot find any real answers for what I want to try and achieve. I have found various box nets for Super Famicom boxes, however I have no reference as to the dimensions of the front, back, flaps etc. I also do not know the correct card to be printing onto, what sort of grade thickness and the finish of the card, to try and replica the original box as much as possible. I am also going to be buying a new printer soon,could one recommend a decent printer that could handle card. I would also be looking for the net layout of the cardboard cart housing that holds the actual cart in place, within the box. I recall these being made from glossy card.

My apologies if a thread does exist for this, I could not find it for the life of me.

Hope someone can help me out here,
Regards,
Daniel.

We don't create "actual" boxes.  We create cover art for Universal Game Cases (video store rental cases).  They are easier to use.

Oh right,

Ok cool, would you possibly be able to point me in the correct direction to find out more information regarding dimensions and such. Are there any good sites that have good resources on this topic?

Cheers,
Dan.

BTW ShoothimNow, whatever happened to the N64 minibox project?

All my N64 boxes are sports games, which I don't exactly feel like cleaning.

1) No new N64 raws (can't find the flaps still)
2) Work / School

Thanks for the replies.

I am only missing one piece of info now, from reading around I have answered most of my question.

What card can you purchase that is closest to the original card used to create the Super Famicom boxes? Printer wise, would any laser printer be adequate to print on that card?

Thanks.

I know we've used cardstock around here for the N64 mini boxes, but I honestly couldn't tell you.
