My workshop

Handmade, pixel by pixel, shipped from France

My name is Thomas. I give orphaned cartridges a case again and tired games and consoles a fresh label: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA, DS, Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo. Everything is drawn, printed, cut and assembled here, by hand.

▶ MY WORK

Cases and labels designed for the shelf

A cartridge without a case is a game you no longer dare to display. I make custom DS-style cases for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA and DS games, and universal cases for the Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo: double-sided HD cover, matching spine, sturdy brand-new case.

For cartridges with a damaged or missing label, I offer custom replacement labels (Game Boy, GBA, N64, Super Nintendo) and shell labels for the back of consoles and N64 cartridges: standard, holo or metal.

▶ MY PHILOSOPHY

No blurry scans, no compromise

  • Every artwork is rebuilt by hand in high definition: backgrounds redrawn, text retyped, logos replaced in HD, colours revived.
  • Spines follow one shared design per console: a whole collection lines up perfectly.
  • Professional inkjet printing, tests for every new design, zoom check before shipping.
  • Custom fan creations, to customise or replace the case and label of a game you already own.

  3. 3 · Professional printingPro inkjet printer, thick paper or vinyl, holo films or metallic stock depending on the chosen finish.
  4. 4 · Cutting, assembly and shippingPrecise cutting, fitting into a brand-new case, final check, then protective packaging, shipped from Lille.

▶ FINISHES

Our finishes explained

Standard, 4 holo films and metal: what they look like and which products offer them.

Real photos, effect not retouched. Labels: holo films shown on Game Boy Color shell labels, Standard and Metal on a Sapphire label. Cases: Standard and Metal on Pokémon Gold, holo films on Pokémon Red. The shine changes with angle and light.

Standard

Sharp print, revived colours, no film. The look closest to a cover or label as you remember it.

Available on:CasesGB · GBA · N64 labelsSNES labels + vinyl layerShell labelsBundles

Holo Simple

An even holographic film laid over the print: a soft rainbow shine that changes with the angle.

Available on:CasesPokémon Gen 1 and Pinball labelsShell labels

Holo Dots

Glittering confetti of varied sizes that light up area by area, like the dotted covers of the era.

Holo Shards

Scattered coloured glass shards of different sizes: the most spectacular effect in full light.

Holo Stars

A shower of sparkles and small stars, with a few big ones scattered around: subtle from afar, magical up close.
