I like those labeled boxes. I got lucky because my regular 52 deck boxes just have rectangular holes that I can see the card label in.
Adam:
I’ve included a 42 card tuck box (Legacy) with the cut and fold lines on the first page, and an outside image template on the second page if you’d like to try to make “custom” tuckbox. I don’t know what you use to create digital images (I’m assuming you do something other than draw + scan), but if it supports importing PDFs, that’s one less step to do. Just add another layer on the second page underneath the current layer. If not, LibreOffice Draw is able to import PDFs. You could do the same: import the PDF, create an under layer, add the image to the under layer, position until correct. Then either delete the template, or hide it from printing somehow.
The box is designed to be duplexed flipping on the short end. It’s also perfectly sized to print two boxes on one sheet of Letter sized paper. If you have a duplex printer, I would make a mark on the bottom left corner on the topside, print, then rearrange the paper (remembering how it was rearranged) so that the mark is now on the top right corner on the topside. If you don’t have a duplex printer, make a mark on the bottom left topside, print the first page, rearrange the page to have the mark on the top left corner, bottomside, and print the second page. Repeat this time with the mark on the top right topside and bottom right bottomside.
If it works out decent, I could also make templates for 41 card boxes, 27 card boxes, 15 card boxes, and whatever other sizes may be necessary. Might even be able to make a template ready for two boxes on one print, once I figure out the offsets.

That’s awesome, I’ll probably throw something together soon. Right now I’ve got a lot to get ready for PAX, so it’ll most likely be in a couple weeks.
TheJayMann, that looks fantastic. Very cool!
so i went to that tuckbox generator and decided to make myself one for each [glow=red,2,300]hero[/glow] :D, they came out awesome, however it was going to be difficult figuring out who is in which box. so i decided to print out there names and paste them on to the boxes i also went ahead and did the SOTM logo to make them look cooler. took forever to find the right fonts :-\
Nice job there, though it does appear that you folded it up backwards (the lines are supposed to be inside. Also, as far as labels, the generator allows you to add a title, in which case it displays the title on a second page, which you can then duplex print flipping along the short edge (if you don’t have a duplex printer, then manually feed the paper back through, flipping correctly). That’s how my boxes were printed, though it gives it that generic “government” style branding to it. I’m hoping Adam has enough time to make artwork for the 42 card template I implemented, and if so, maybe as well for 41, 27, and 15 card boxes.
yea i did fold them backwards lol i had already done 2-3 so i kept doing it that way, as for the duplex printer i lack one however i will try my hand a printing the character names straight onto the box the method you suggested (flipping and re printing method) after these boxes get a little worn out.
I can see having trouble finding a few of those fonts, because I basically built them from scratch in a few places. Those look great though! And after PAX this week I’ll have a lot more time, so I’ll get some official boxes made up for you guys.
Fantastic, I can’t wait.
After playing this morning, my sister was struggling with getting all of the rubber-banded decks and a pile of dice in to Nephew Eric’s SotM box when she hit upon the idea of using these small, plastic, ziploc-like bags that she had on hand. They’re just big enough for a hero deck (you have to work a little bit to get cards in and out). She and her daughter have been using them for holding craft items like beads, I think. She buys them in bulk and plans to get some more and mail me 18 of them to use with my game.
I’ve just switched over to sleeves and a long card box myself. Only spent about $7 total at the comic store I went to.
You could just go to Walmart and Buy some. they have them in the craft section.

I’m currently am working on the tuck box method, I just need to go to Wal-mart to get some thicker paper, which I will be going tonight, since I spend five nights a week there anyways (I work there, not a shopaholic). Then my wife will do some custom art on them to make them look all spiffy and what-not. Can’t wait until the project gets completed so I can share it all.
Also, trying to convince her to draw Citizen Summer in a bikini on the bottom of the tuckbox, sure hope she’ll go through with it.
Only if she also does Baron Blade cavorting on the beach for his deck box 
I may consider it, but my wife has the final say in everything she draws. And I can’t do anything about it since I don’t have the artistic touch.
And Omnitron in a sun dress!
Listen, Omnitron has a wide selection of sun dresses which are quite comfortable and stylish.
Adam are you paying attention for the swimsuit calendar that EVERYONE (read: probably only me) wants you to draw? You know, in all your spare time from drawing other new stuff for the actual game.
I kinda want Voss in a mini skirt and tube top, I think it will be stylish. I just hope she doesn’t lose interest before finishing them all, or else i’ll have some look really fancy and the others with my poor hand writing just with their names on it.
I too want a SofM swimsuit calander. Tears has already got my sweating all over the blood soaked bandage to see her rocking her swimwear out.
