Now, I can order custom printed boxes from the same place where I got the decks printed, but they don't account for the fact that I am sleeving my decks. (Of COURSE I'm sleeving them. I worked way too hard on these to not protect them.) And I desperately needed boxes. I was unable to find a good source to get them professionally printed because companies that print custom boxes are usually doing it for commercial purposes, where they expect you to be a business owner who's ordering hundreds of these at a time. Where I needed only one of each, that was not really practical. At best I would pay around $180 for them. That's a little more than I wanted to spend for four boxes. So in the end, I made up my designs, and had them printed on cardstock at Office Depot, then cut and glued them together myself. I gave them a coat of clear spray paint to protect them too. I think it turned out pretty good. I just used the card backs for the design and then added the series logo edited to match the rest on the side. Here they are:
And look! I made one for my Shadowscapes deck too! I just scanned in the back of the card. The logo was harder though, because there is no clean PNG of the logo anywhere on the internet, so I had to make my own. Spent quite a bit of time cleaning out the background and then adjusting the color to match.
Haha, thank you! Well, you can do what I did. I do actually have this printed. I went to this site: http://www.printerstudio.com/personalized/custom-imprint-tarot-size-cards-blank-cards.html I then uploaded the images and sent it off. It costs about $15 plus shipping unless you catch a sale or something. If you're serious I may even have a 10 or 15% off coupon code lying around, because the code never changes. That's the site I used to print all my nerdy decks. Do you want me to send you the full size images?
