The holo boxes have a huge weakness to moisture, as rubbing them when wet will eliminate the ink. The labels seem to be trimmed holo boxes, and due to their thickness, look odd on a cart. Not complaints, just pointing that out for y'all.




My older holo releases had this problem. My newer releases I have addressed it. The foils on the carts have been improved and now have a laminate seal to protect them. Also, I have never noticed the thickness of the labels to be an issue.

Most of the boxes I do now are non foil. SInce this was the prototype for this project however I couldn't resist. This particular box IS sensitive to moisture. However if I decide to release it as foil, those will not be. I go back and fourth with wanting to offer foil or not for the boxes. I personally like the effect, though the material is difficult to work with.

I will more than likely offer an option for foil/non-foil in the final release

You fixed them?  That sounds epic!  And well, the thickness does show itself when it curves over to the top of the cart, but I can't complain, you say it's difficult to work with.  Good to know you've fixed the foil boxes!



Yes, but I have to make sure it's cost effective to make them. That's why I've scaled back most of my games to non-foil releases. I have to seal the foil to make it work, which is hard to do because the foil is sensitive as it is. I think I have a process developed though at this point to make it work consistently so I may be able to release this with an option for foil. I really want to. Honestly some games just look amazing in foil. The pictures don't really do justice.

I know what you're talking about. Journey to Silus, Burai Fighter, and the "Black Box" games would epic in foil. Still, I wish you luck with the process!

Looks great, but If I hold off on $35 and $60 bucks, $70 is too much for me. Good luck as always. I like the boxes, A++. I say that a box like that shouldn't be near moisture lol. That guy needs a plastic box

I was thinking maybe to sit inside a plastic sleeve, since they will be handled eventually.
