Well… hello to everybody.

I have been invited by one69chev to join these forums in order to discuss in this particular thread.
I don’t know exactly how to begin so (I hope one69chev doesn’t mind) I will make a copy/paste of the answer I gave him last week when he first told me about this project.

After that… I will answer all of your questions and we will see if the project goes on.

First of all, let me ensure that I understand what you are asking for: you want somekind of collector’s edition with a steelbook inside a boxsed set; something similar to what KimchiDVD or FilmArena or HDZeta are doing, isn’t it?

It would be something like this, correct?:
— Steelbook + Fullslip + Postcards + Booklet + Numbered Card + etc
Something like the attached image?

If that is correct, you can check my blog: I am, in fact, making designs in whick I include booklets, artcards and so on…
The only difference is that, in your case, we need to add a steelbook to “our edition”.
I can customize steelbooks using adhesive vinyl:

first of all I have to disassemble the steelbook
after that I have to paint it using a spray paint in order to make disappear the original design it had
after that I place the adhesive vinyl (printed whith our new design) in the front, back & spine
the interior of the steelbook also has its own printed design
One important thing: the steelbooks we use have to be plain, flat… with no embossed or debossed details, obviously.

You know my prices. At the end, this collector’s edition could be something like this:

Fullslip: 12 euros
Inlay: 2 euros
24 Pages Booklet: 15 euros
8 Postcards: 6 euros
Numbered (Laminated) Card: 1 euro
Total for this: 36 euros

About the price to customize the steelbook: you have to speak with your group and, if you are really interested, I will check the prices for the adhsesive vinyl in the printing house.

And about the price for the original steelbooks we are going to customize: I will have to check around the web in order to find them as cheaper as possible (10 euros each one, maybe???). This will have to be done when there are a definitive list of the people interested in the project, so that the price can be divided between them all.

BUT… there is another different option: if not possible/easy to get the steelbooks… we could make a new digipack for your group only. I would design it from the beginning and show to the group each different part of the design process so that you decide how you prefer it (well, obviously, this has to be done also in the option we were speaking before: you are always who are going to decide if the design is correct or not).

If you choose this option, prices would be like this:

Digipack: 25 euros
Inlay: 2 euros
24 Pages Booklet: 15 euros
8 Postcards: 6 euros
Numbered (Laminated) Card: 1 euro
Total for this: 49 euros final price… without having to wait for prices of the steelbooks, vinyl, etc.

About shipping costs: are all of you from Poland? If so… I was thinking about sending one package each 7-10 days to one of you (the person you decide) with about 10 collector’s editions finished. The addressees of these 10 sets would share shipping costs from Spain to Poland… and then, the person from Poland who received the package would be the one who distribute the sets in your country: I think in this way shipping costs will be cheaper for all of you.
