Hello (I really need to make an introductory thread somewhere),

Well after going as far as page 10 in this section, I gave up looking and figure I'd start this one. Sorry if this subject is already on the board, but with the search feature disabled..oh well.

So finding this forum has given me a reason to love Star Wars again. After seeing Harmy's De-Specialized editions, discussion of -1 restoration project and finally seeing the great custom art covers... Well I want hard copies now.

So my quest starts with a few questions really. I've looked around the Interwebs but did not find anything to my satisfactory on the subject. Mainly making an actual box to hold either multiple DVDs or Blu-Rays. More importantly a box capable of being customized with some of the wonderful renditions found on this forum.

It's rather obvious that I simply can't "print" on an existing box. I'm not a fan of the "sticking" printed art on one as well. Which leaves me to believe printing on cardboard then folding would be the solution. This requires a template I would assume (the folds in the cardboard etc), proper cardboard and a printer capable of handling this thicker "paper". First question... Has anyone accomplished this task yet? If so how? Can you post the finished product?

As far as sleeves, covers and the actual media.. that's pretty easy. So for this, at the moment, I see no issue.

Thanks in advance, hope someone can help.
