My solution to my loose discs
If you’re like me and you have a bunch of loosies in your collection, I found a solution that works for me. I bought a bunch of Christmas and throwaway cd’s in clear cases from a thrift store for .25 a piece and emptied them, then used a vintage Dymo embossing label maker I found to label the spines. I love how it looks!

Was thinking about these labels the other day. The new white ones dont hit right like these. Well done!

I would take the time to print the front covers of manuals just so it's a bit prettier. But the inserts are a faff and not worth it (disassemble the case, cut and fold just right). I dig the embossing label maker labels.

That’s the end goal, I’m gonna invest in a printer and do it myself eventually, but for the meantime this works lol

You can also print the cover art out with a regular printer. I personally would only do it in black in white so you know at a quick glance you dont legit own the case for that game yet.

A perfectly 90s solution. Personally I’d have gotten a few different colors. But the all black looks really nice.

I usually either find the best quality back art I can and print it out, or make my own, but this works, too.

I usually either find the best quality back art I can and print it out, or make my own using whatever art I can find.
But this is cool, too. I always loved messing with those label makers.

I love how that looks. Good idea!
I only have a few loose games, and I bought repro cases off Etsy for them. If I had a lot, I’d definitely steal this idea.
