I think I might try to design some custom Hasbro packages and I'm not sure where to begin. I think I have the design skills to re-create the look of the packaging, but how would I go about printing them off? I would think the stock used for the cards would be too thick for a standard printer. How have guys done it in the past? Any help would be appreciated!

I have made some in the past. Simply scanned an old card and worked from there.

Best place to ask is the 'customs' forum, there have been template posts before and some really good designs, remember to pm the maker and ask if you can use their template first.
Good luck!

My first instinct would be to print off the design on a thinner stock paper that matches the look of the old cards and affix it to a heavier cardboard. Spray adhesive, perhaps?

you can also get a decent logo from psd protocol. they have a ton of wrestling related art for custom packaging.

Thanks for the link! Those are some great packages. I worked on one for a little while today. I'm still having troubles with getting the picture right, so I didn't include it. Some of the fonts are off, but they were about as close as I could find. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!  |

Also, I can't get the transparency to work correctly behind where the figure is gonna go. I'll figure it out eventually.
