Cav's Tuck Boxes

[Cavalier]

So, you’ve gotten your copy of one of the Summoner Wars Starter Sets. Or maybe you got one of each. You’ve punched out your markers, unfolded your playing mat. You’ve riffled through your cards, taking in the amazing art and abilities.

You’ve played your first game (and maybe second and third and more), but, as with all good things, the end has come. It is time to pack it all away. You refold your mat, being careful to follow the original creases. You return the markers and dice and rule book to the box. You go to put your cards away… You don’t want them loose in the box, but you don’t really want to risk damaging them with a rubber band either. What do you do? Well, you download these tuck boxes, print them out on card stock using your color printer. You put them together and you store those gorgeous cards safely and snuggly.

Amazing. Thanks for making these.

[Classicsmiley]

Awesome. These really do look great.

My only questions:it looks as if you sleeve the cards these boxes are too small to use? If so, is there a way to get a bigger box to accommodate sleeved cards?

I don't have my cards sleeved, so I don't really know what size it would need to be. The easiest thing would be to scale the file up at print time, if your printer has that ability.

[KCU Master 2007]

Ok, thanks Cav.

I went in and was able to scale up the print, however, box becomes too wide and tall long before it becomes thick enough to hold a deck of sleeved cards.

If I were able to get the size for sleeved deck you would be able to get the file up for such a tuck box? I do not have the software available to me for such work.

[Cavalier]

Ok, thanks Cav.

If somebody can get me the measurements of a sleeved deck (height, width and length, I could probably make an alternate version.

[KCU Master 2007]

Never Mind...can't get it right.

I don't have Adobe Acrobat yet (we just had to wipe our computer). Anyone know any other good PDF viewers?

You can get Acrobat Reader for free.

Why not just download Adobe Reader free from www.adobe.com?

The tuckboxes look great! Im looking forward to what the sleeved ones will be.

Am I doing something wrong? I printed these off and assembled, but they are too small to fit a deck. Are you guys using half decks in these boxes? Or did I manage to trim too much off the edge?

I made that mistake my first time as well. Check your print settings. I found that my default settings were slightly re-sizing the image so it was printing out just a tad smaller than it was supposed to.

[Creationist]

What are the settings to print them correctly?

[XCoconutMonkey06x]

Click FILE then PRINT. There will be an option there that says "Page Scaling" and it's a drop down box. It's usually set to "Shrink to Printable Area". Set that to "None" and you should be good to go.

[A_Train]

Yeah, that did it. Feel a little stupid for not noticing, but I'm glad I asked. Thanks! My tuck boxes are great now.

[Creationist]

Agreed. They work perfectly now.

[Retlaw]

Finally got around to printing this out last night and putting them together. Even with my clumsy hands, these came out looking great. Thanks Cav! (Now where is that +rep button?)

Here you Cav, so you can work your magic. These are exact, so you may want to allow a little room. :D

[Killer Lawnmower]

These boxes are awesome!! I printed and made the Dwarves/Goblins, and am awaiting to use the other two when they arrive.

These boxes are miracles in action. :)

[Klaxas]

i know i love them. Truth were you ever panning on making tuck boxes for the other factions. i would love to use those to keep my constructed decks seperate from my loose cards.

[KCU Master 2007]

Truth is not the one who designed these tuckboxes, it was Cavalier, the one who originally created this thread.

However, I haven't seen him around these boards much in a while.

[metalbusi]

If you need the tb for the new faction look to my thread.

[Klaxas]

I used forbes but I don't like the rounded edges. How did you get the square edges on the small flaps?
