smelly-grunger Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I may be a little late to the party but i thought i would share this site. http://www.nintandbox.net/ It has a heap of Nintendo boxes scanned in and restored in hi res so you can print them out and make your own boxes. Also can get stuff like a template for the cardboard inserts in GameBoy and N64 boxes. If you have come across any similar sites please share below.

Lord-Data Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Wow this is awesum. What kind of cardboard is best to use to recreate the boxes? Sticker artwork is awesum too.. Gotta track down some glossy stickers.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly-grunger Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I made my own gameboy box using a template and printed it with 300gsm card stock. Looks pretty good but something a bit heavier and with a silk finish would be better. Cost me $4 from office works for a gameboy box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Data Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You bought the card stock and printed it yourself, or was $4 for them to print it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly-grunger Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 $4 for them to print, I made a watermark for the inside of the box so mine was printed double sided. If it was single sided I think it will be about 3.50 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertylesh Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 thank you this resource is awesome, I already got 16 boxes i plan to print for my loose games. I noticed some of the 64 box scans are a little noisy and some scans have visible cracking from the source boxes, Im going to touch up all the box art (in paint.net) before I get them printed out at officeworks. I chose to get the A3 files since it should be easier then dealing with 2 files per box. unfortunately they were missing marioparty2 so ill just have to find that one elsewhere. this is going to make my collection so much nicer when i set it all up in my future games room ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertylesh Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 im going to touch up a few of the works that are on the site, Ive shared my DK64 touchup, and will do mario 64 next. though i think i posted it in the incorrect subforum over there. http://i.imgur.com/vajucwe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uwM6tBO.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly-grunger Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looks awesome good work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothiefielder Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Do they turn out as good quality as the originals if you get the right cardboard? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly-grunger Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 I guess it depends on the picture quality and not only the right gsm but I think it needs to be a silk paper as well so it had that glossy finish. So I would assume it's possible but would be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord-Data Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'd be keen to see a photo of some someone have actually made to completion. It won't give the full experience I guess, but it'd be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertylesh Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 when i eventually get around to having my missing boxes printed out, I'll take photos. Its going to depend also on how the first platform boxes turn out (just making N64 boxes to start) if they turn out well, I might make boxes for all my loose snes (depending on time and cost) I have about 150 loose snes carts @_@ At the moment though im thoroughly enjoying doing some touchup work on some of the nintandbox resources. currently cleaning up a scan of yoshis story n64. should be sharing it later tonight :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertylesh Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So regarding the repro art. The site nintando rejected my touch ups. Pretty discouraging ... I never got around to printing any of them yet. I did make and print some sick art work for my arcade unit tho - Before: http://i.imgur.com/JrzxTFN.jpg After: http://i.imgur.com/xGTmmqQ.jpg Edit: i had the arcade art done at officeworks in the end, i think if i get the box art printed there it'd turn out just as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
