Where do I find cases for unboxed games?

Post by V3rtigo »

No, I don't want to find boxes.

Does anyone make cases that standard old games fit into, and then I can just print my own spine labels? I've seen old NES cases, but that was years ago. Does anyone sell this now? How about for SNES, N64, Atari, etc?

Well since the N64 and SNES used cardboard boxes I guess you could try printing out your own cases for them (good luck getting side and possibly even rear scans though!) and then use a stanley knife (I think in the US they are called Xacto or something) to cut out and make your own cartridge holders in cardboard. I'd scan you a plan but I don't have a scanner anymore. You might be able to find one on the internet somewhere.

As for hard cases, I believe there is some out there. Good luck finding them though as they aren't too common.

All the covers over at The Cover Project are made for the Universal Game Case. This shop has them in lots of a 100, but are sold out temporarily...

In comparison to an authentic cover. How would you rate a quality print-out cover?

These universal game cases intruige me, and I wish to know more. The site lists N64, SNES, Genesis, and CD formats. How well does it handle the other systems, such as NES, Turbografx, and Odyssey 2?

Briliantly if you use the right photo paper and have a high quality printer you can get covers looking like retail printed dvd game case slips it's great!

Hy,

I love those cases but the company only ships to US and Canada. Does anyone a shop which ships them to Europe or is there a shop in Europe who sells these cases?

thx
