    As a heads up for the top of the label, if you place the label overnight in a clipboard so the top of the label is bent over, it will remember the bend and stick perfectly. Also, I'd place in between two old credit cards on the clipboard so the clip doesn't clip too tough on the label. It's what I always do and I highly recommend! Great vid as always.

    Thanks for this video. I'm making repro labels and they look amazing. I use LD glossy paper and the Silhouette will detect without having to make it detect manually. I'm still trying to find ways to kep the label from lifting from the spine though.
    Thanks again for this video!

    Riggs, as to assist in the top part from rising up from the cart, fold the label and place it under a clip board for a few days to force the folding top to stay

    I'm not a game collector, but a while ago, I made labels for some of my Mega drive games, the cheap way, printing on normal paper and laminating with clear box tape before cutting and using glue stick. I made all them from straight on PS, using the better independent images I could find from the covers, logos, ratings, etc., even a legal text in case of "The Lost World", trying to keep the fidelity, even on bootleg cartridges, adaptating the proportions. Nice to know there are nicer ways to make a really good looking label.

    Ever since I started to make my own labels for Snes on Corel draw I Just can't stop. I don't mean labels taken from the web but actual labels made entirely from scratch following the original ones on real cartridge. I use same images, measures, fonts, edit, dev logos, and make in 100% vector. Just to make my repro carts look like original. I have now more than 250 labels for Snes and Genesis. On more than 10 gbs of Corel draw files. It's really adicting!

    Hi John, just wanted to thank you for this tutorial, I used the same method which gave me fantastic results. I however used Avery Gloss Labels which gave me a deeper black when compared to a standard non gloss label. I also used a good quality 80micron gloss laminate. Amazing quality. Thanks!

    • @gorillify
      @gorillify 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you have a specific brand for that laminate? I've been trying different lamination methods for years. I've tried the 3mil pouches and I find that they're too stiff. They look nice, but they don't really allow the sticker to bend. I'm trying to find a more "ready to stick" laminate without spending thousands on a big machine
      And I've tried laminating sheets, but I feel there's too much room for error on those.

They play fine, but the poor things look like they've been through a purse tour with Mike Tyson...whoever had them before me did not take care of them at all :(

  • @strawmancomics
    @strawmancomics 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    have you thought about running two stickers through the heat machine at one time with the labels facing opposite directions? That way you could get twice the amount out of the laminate.

    • @geovani60624

  • @Agent22817
    @Agent22817 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    BTW you can right click the image and select 'move to back'. That'll put the cut outline above the image so you can see how it's lined up.
    The bubbling on the self stick lamination is called 'silvering'.
    The office depot pouch you use will work ok for most inkjet prints but will not work well for laser prints. The lamination will wind up coming loose from the paper at the fold line.
    Less thick lamination will be less likely for the top flap to pop up. Also using a more aggressive label paper helps. You should bug me on NA sometime.

    • @JohnRiggs
      @JohnRiggs  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      SILVERING! That's the word I was thinking of. Thanks!! And thanks for the tips. I'm always looking for better ways to do this.

    I'm considering getting into collecting GBA games and other handhelds, so looking at stuff like this gets me thinking. A damaged GBA cover could ruin the whole aesthetic, but a whole sheet of that would be enough for dozens of GBA labels.
    Fantastic job on the custom cartridge, too.

    It seems to me that you could use a credit card as a smoother, to press down the label better and to bend and crease the label into shape around the end part. With clean white paper folded over it as protection, it should be able to help with better adhesion, ideally without any damage to the label. Worth trying?

      @genericfirstnamegenericlas6490 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Robert Willis I know it's late, but a good technique is to find a label scan online, then go get a ruler and meause the cartidge label area by width and height, then go on gimp, get your image, select print, go to advanced, select what unit to go by (for ex. Inches), and then input the width and height, but make sure that they are in the correct unit as well. That should print it out in the right size, that's what worked for me and my N64 carts. If you need help just let me know.
