Those looks badass. If anyone could make repo boxes, that would be sweet! I would buy so many for my cic games

The biggest hurdle for the DIY person is the material of the box itself.  I think it's a 160 to 180lb paperboard and that won't go through many home printers.  An option would be to get an 11x17 single sheet sticker and print the artwork on that and then stick it to a paperboard backer though I don't know how well that would fold.  If you went that route you would need to make the paperboard part slightly thinner.

What I've seen other people do on TCP is print it out on regular paper then carefully glue it to the respective paperboard/thicker paper.  From my experience, spray adhesive is a very easy way to pair the two relatively seamlessly.
