Hacking cartridge sticker

[rudi1313]

Hey, so i was thinking today of replacing my R4DS cartridge sticker with maybe a blank Nintendo DS sticker.

maybe something like this is what i had in mind

But i was wondering if anyone could help me with the following

what kind of paper should i print this in?
can anyone help me with the exact dimensions?

oh and has anyone else done this before?

thanks

measure sticker first and then create your design with vector program or photoshop in 300dpi. you need to add 3-5mm bleed all around to your design and add crop marks. then cut it with knife holding ruler in both crop marks and try only to cut sticker. then you have it nicely .. right size and you can stick it in your r4ds

edit: reply if you want more info

I'll do it, give me a few moments, I'll have to vector the R4 logo

You could probably use label type paper, that way it's already sticky on the back of it. All you would have to do is design it at the right dimensions, print, and then cut it out.

cool idea, if i did it id make it look like it was official Nintendo,

then tell my friends i have like a new super ds cart that

holds loads of games

i like the sticker how it is now :S

a really cheap and easy way of doing it would be to,

print it of on paper, any would do photo, plain cartridge,

but probably not high gloss photo paper, then remove the

old sticker and cut the new one out, then use either prit

stick or double sided sticky tape to attach it, you can use the

prit stick if you would like to take it of anytime cus its not

to strong but if you want a strong hold use the tape,

another cheap way of doing it would be to but a pack of

plain white sticky labels, the ones you use to price things up

in a garage sale, cus you can print of them like normal paper.

hope this helps some of you do this

Here i made a guide, if any wants to do this, i used rudi1313's design as a tester.

Hope some of you can use this

SWEET! i already put it on and it looks nice! now time to order a white shell to put it on for my bro =]

 

[marth989]

glad you like it, question though, are you changing the sticker cus you dont like

the original or because you use my ds tm skin and want to make you ds look

uniformed?

i got bored of my old skin and i also like ur skin. but im looking for a skin that would match a black shell case. do u think u could make one to match it? this one matches the white shell case tho.

same, i do like all those ideas,but i think that they suite the white one better, we also need a dark grey design

Great Idea, I think the Cyclo evolution needs a better sticker.
