Cover your loose FC/SNES/NES carts for cheap - save from dust - repro covers

If I were making them, I'd only put artwork on the front and the spine.  That's all you need for display purposes.  On the back, put some tasteful self-advertisement, like, "Famicom Dust Covers by Aarkay / http://...".

That works well and you could make your own personal ones however you wish right?  A couple screenshots would also be good I think, but I do think that route satisfies all opposition here.

Personally my priority is nice boxes for games that boxed would have either cost me alot or i just love the art. To save you time maybe just do a top 20 for now?  My top wants would be lickle, holy diver, contra, castlevania 3, rockman.

I guess that instead using a legend like "reproduction box made by : aarkay14 " or remove the old barcode you can add or replace it with a QR barcode, they didn't exist when the games were published, so would be easy for a collector to spot that is a reproduction box, I like the 1:1 boxes but snug fit, I'll send you the list of boxes that I want ;)

A QR code that linked through to the site / thread is an excellent idea.

I am pointing the QR code to bootgod's Famicom cart DB website, is that cool or should I point to Wikipedia or something else.. Contra is almost done... ;)

Also, I can make it out to people - I can add - 'This cartridge is the property of Dr. Marty' or something like that... Please let me know in case you want that...

Dear All,

Contra is complete... please give your opinion.. the blank white space i have saved - I can write - This game is registered to / belongs to .. etc...' Please suggest ..

WOW !! this is so cool...I want to order them..My husband loves Famicom and all the related stuff..Maybe I can gift him !! :crazy:

I would suggest it's better to have the QR code sat in the middle of white space, or have a smaller white space, or even two QR codes, or a written URL or something rather than that extra white space.

Surely you're better having just one design you can reel off than printing bespoke every time?  Up to you though.

you could leave the barcode on but make it transparent and lay out your text over the top
even so they look great, myself I have a sonic sound zone cassette tape holder filled with famicom games

The box art looks just great, but placing of the elements in the QR code box looks a bit iffy IMO.
I'd suggest to do something like that:
