Very nicely done mrbigreddog! If we as a site decide not to host the top labels is it ok if I or someone else hosts them on box.net? Credit for creating them would be all yours though

Very nice! $100 is also pretty tempting for 296 labels. That's only about 34 cents each!

Thank you sir! That's fine with me, if we can't host them here. Just give me some time to export each one at 300 dpi (i design in a vector based program) and I'll get up with you when I have them all separated. And as you can also see, I made changes to the original layout of sample labels to make sure each one was unique! It took alot of work, I estimated at least 10min design time for each label times 296 labels = Thats about 49 hours of work! Which is pretty close to exact!

Exactly! Let me know if your interested!

I would be all for buying these cart labels if I didnt store all my games in UGC's. Kinda pointless if their all gonna be hidden in cases. Love the idea tho. Much better than the masking tape and permanent marquer I use to use.

[TheValeman]

Very nice indeed ... even if only to mask off marker pen on 2nd hand carts from video shops who were bad for marking carts on the top edge

I think that regardless if I have them in a case or not, end labels will make them complete. The labels will be viewable when I play them so I think it's well worth effort. I can't wait until they are hosted at 300dpi!

I quickly threw the games I have into a template for Avery Return Address labels since I had those on hand. I was curious to see how they would look completed. For this being a super cheap, super fast job, I'm content with the labels currently until I get more money.

I'm not sure if it's just the white balance on that image, but those labels look like they don't have nearly enough color as they should. I'm aware of how quickly you did it, I'm just hoping that I wont have this problem, because I'm considering doing it this way. Mind sharing the template?

When I tried to save my original, it completely botched it so I made a new one with just 4 labels. http://www.mediafire.com/?8fla8mmogfjaj64

Edit: And I misspelled label in the file name. Uh...whoops.

Here's another image with a couple other things for a color comparison. That SMA2 cover was printed off myself on the same printer. Unfortunately, pretty much all of the labels I printed off have since peeled off the carts.

Hey what's the paper you used for those labels?
I see avery paper's under what's the code of the paper?

[Staf]

Tis Avery 18167 Return Address Labels. Unfortunately they look like this now.

Thats because the labels you used are barely even sticky on the reverse side.  The adhesive wore off right away because the labels were meant for sticking to other paper

Which is one of the reasons I really liked Mr. Big Red Dog's printing methods.  I'm glad that everything worked out so I can consider placing an order through him.  The $3/tag price is still a bit high, but I'm interested in seeing what he has to offer anyway.
