Very Nice!! I think I would have added some small cutouts to pull the cart out easier though. But judging from the pics the carts should slide right out so that isn't a problem.
yes they slide in and out very easily without scratching the game or kitbox. There is no sticking in these things. The manufacturer I approached specializes in printing the boxes and cases for DVD box sets and the ease of removal was already considered. Plus I wanted to leave the option open for full size insert style art to be there without sticking to a cart.
I don't think I'm quite ready to ditch my shockboxes, but this would be perfect to have like 5 in the living room to protect loose carts that are in my current playing rotation without having shocks all over the place.
Then again, I really could use the space savings.
im a huge fan of shockboxes. these also make sense for some of the cheaper carts as well. i find it hard to invest $8, plus insert cost (whether i pay for one directly or have one made), plus the shipping to protect something like a world heroes cart that could be had for $10 or less. The space savings is pretty huge as well.
Im not ditching my shocks quite yet either. But, my collection has ballooned to a size where space was at a premium for me so this suits the need for my carts that carry less value. They are also probably pretty good for a lot of the new guys that have been building up their collections and dont have anything yet.
plus there is the kitbox sized ones which are new
.
Nice product, but I would prefer to have some kind of wrap around art or pressed art on the box to ever get me to stop using shock boxes. Good luck on the sale.
Basically it's my similar thought to the Neomi boxes (forget the name), you need something visual on the box to make it more than "just a box".
you could always rescale a shock box insert and print that to a full sheet label. thats the size of the box.
I am getting the spine labels done for every game also, and those will be always available.
You also could always make custom wrap around art. What I have always found great about these kind of projects is that a lot of people make them their own as well. If anyone wanted to make wrap around art for any of these, I would happily host them when that page goes live.
