Create own/replacement paper box for Atari 2600 games?

[First Ninja]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been trying to get hold of the tutorial that shows you how to make your own Atari 2600 replacement paper boxes. Unfortunatly, googling for it has come up with nothing at all. Can someone please provide me and anyone else who wonders where to find it with a link? Thank you in advance!

You can buy blank box templates from me for $2.00 each, a better price can be negotiated for larger quantities. They are a 100% clone of Atari's original boxes. :!:

Those are cool How do you print them?

Those look really snazzy (and professional). Although I'm tempted to ask you if you ship to the EU, I am in fact looking for the tutorial to make replacement boxes. A few weeks ago, I picked up a few Atari 2600 games at Retrogathering in Stockholm, but unfortunatly all of them came unboxed. For reasons I don't think I have to explain to anyone here, I would like to have them boxed again, along with original boxart . I do appreciate your reply, though .

You can either rent a professional printer or print on 11 x 17 photo paper and glue it to the box, then cut around the outline of the box template. Or, if you're not picky, you can print on adhesive photo paper and do it in 2 pieces (not my thing).

 

And yes, given someone wants to pay the $$ for shipping to the EU, no problem.

 

@McFlurrry: I think you'd be better off buying original replacements, unless you are talking about mega-rare carts.

That is exactly the tutorial I was looking for! Thank you so much! I'll absolutely look into it .

I see you are not picky. Boxes made out of 2 pieces would not live on one of my shelves.

Well, I suppose that most doors swing open when enough dough is put into the equation . I'll keep the option in mind, though (you never know when channels like these come in handy).

 

By the way (and if you don't mind me asking) - "better off buying original replacements"? Are you suggesting that there is a market for <i>boxes</i>? If not - and what you are saying is that I should look for new and boxes copies of games I already have - then I would still wind up with having unboxed games. What I need is boxes, not more games .

Well, to be honest I havn't really looked into the anatomy of Atari 2600 boxes that well just yet. From what you are saying though, I just might regret my words . Do you mind showing us any replacement boxes with original art that you have assembled?

I have a bunch of empty boxes, other people probably do too.

Anybody have the box outline template as a illustrator or photoshop file?

Even a completed box, just something to go off of.

Not into using gimp.

+1 rep for that. Ding. <--- sound of sparkle in my eye.

Do you still sell these? I've looked in the atari age store, but I can't find them. Thanks!

@CPUWIZ - do you have a template for an original launch title gatefold box?

Nope and nope.
