I came up with this design for a sideloading deck box, easily made out of 4 bent cards and some scotch tape. (Pictures Attached). It actually holds together, won't let the cards fall out, and fits sleeved cards
What I was wondering was, what kind of deck boxes do you guys make? I haven't seen a thread about this yet, and can't seem to find any designs or instructions for custom-made deck boxes online.
(Please merge if there's another thread like this, mod.)
It basically was made up of 13 Magic cards and had a lip to close the box shut and a whollllle lot of clear tape to hold it together. It took forever to get the lip to close right while not letting the deck fall out when you held it upside down...
I made it out of the excess Plains I had at the time. I was even thinking of doing some of them where the basic lands that were in the deck, would be the deck box. If I get a better internet connection, I'll post some pictures up.
My biggest problem in making deck boxes is that it's hard to come up with a good latch that's easily made. I've seen duct tape on a smooth surface for repeatable stickiness, and that seemed to work pretty well.
Also, I find that the art from booster packs is great for decorating your boxes, since it's free (doesn't require printing, so no ink) and booster pack art tends to be among the best in a set.

13 cards? I'm guessing it completely encompassed the cards... Can't wait to see pictures.

i've also cut two of the old precon deckboxes up, and taped them together for an EDH box.

I've seen someone with a duct tape box too. I wish I had real duct tape, as opposed to just packaging and scotch tape.

the owner of my local shop gives me the empty booster boxes sometimes which is cool
i unfolded a shards of alara sealed deck box to make a template that i can trace over the image from a booster box, to make a new deck box
the promo triangle-thing for zendikar which featured the art of gomozoa made an amazing deck box, the artwork just centered up naturally
i haven't made new deckboxes much lately since i started sleeving my cards which rendered all my boxes useless
i did make a new template that fits at least 75 sleeved cards, and is side loading
this is a great resource: http://www.ee0r.com/boxes/index.html
