Hey guys. I was just wondering if any of you design boxes for your games? If so what size are they? And what material do you use?
I use tagboard to make mine, they are surprisingly similiar to the density of a regular box. Mine are kind of big. I haven't found a use for them yet, because I haven't put a game on a cart successfully yet. They are probably about this size, thinking of a rectangular prism's measurment system:
base = 5 1/2
hieght = 1 1/2
length = 8
All of the measurements are in inches, of course. If you do the math, you'll notice that (height *2 + length = 11) and (height *2 + base = 8 1/2). Where else have you seen those dimensions? (P.S., I'm just estimating these dimensions for my box, but the dimensions 11 and 8 1/2 are that of a peice of printing paper.)
It actually looks quite nice, and feels quite nice. I plan to buy some magazine paper and make instruction booklets, to. Do any of you do that for your games?
EDIT:
I thought it would be better to just show a picture of about what my boxes look like.
Oh, and also, I can stick the tagboard through my printer, so it prints on it very well and makes a semi-proffessional looking box.
