I have no idea what the point is of this "post."
You print out pages, you use scissors to cut things out, you take a Floppy diskette, you might remember them, they stored things and were kinda floppy, and attach the label to the floppy diskette, usually black, and stick it in your newly printed sleeve, a no brainer. Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus!
Haha! Yes of course!
You might want to invest in a good paper cutter and for the labels, sheets of adhesive backed stickers are available pre-cut or not in various sizes. For floppy disk sleeves cardstock is a good idea. Finding flat plain Tyvek sheets is harder and it is also tricker to print on (some ink/toner doesn't work well).
By the way @Khaibitgfx, THANK YOU! That's awesome looking artwork. Thank you for sharing!
When I bought an Apple IIe from ebay it came with 100 diskettes, 99% piracy, aka nothing real, hacked and cracked, basically garbage.
I had a choice throw them out like most people would do or make labels like the originals, soooooooo......the same when I bought an Atai 800xl, did anyone buy software back then?
If you're going to show someone how things used to be nothing beats a Floppy disk system setup, having diskettes that look like the real deal doesn't hurt either, more or less.
If there's one thing I can remember from back then was going from cassette to floppy, like hooly shit!
... and a little bit of time ...
Remember when these were $5 each? Or $50 a box?
Try buying one today in this condition.
Apple Floppies.jpg
Everything has gone insane price wise as far as the ebay retro scene is concerned, quality down, price way up in most cases, then the shipping costs, I haven't purchased anything in years.
I was thinking about replicating all those Apple original Floppies and sleeve, relivively simple design, just need a good quality scan for that extra accurate touch vs what is currently out there.
Updated copy with 1 gamed added, Repton, plus some minor adjustments.
First message file has been updated.
Ever thought about reproducing the Sirius T-Shirts (iron ons that came with the software) in a vector format? I remember one saying "Sneaker Stomper"
I'm looking for quality scans of other software currently not included in the pdf file.
I'm looking for a good quality scan of the following software.

Not the label you are looking for, but one I didn't see in your document. And the back of my sleeve looks a little different than yours. Front looks the same though. They are 600dpi TIFF, but the site won't accept that extension. So I zipped them up.
You're right the back isn't the same, I did that on purpose, I figured the backs that I already had created looked just as good or better, might replicate it as some point, the labels and front seemed more important.
I'm currently working on a dysan sleeve, and few others, for the hell of it...basically almost anything can be replicated if the scan is good, download a 4am game, print out the label and sleeve and you got something better than the original, leave the real copies safely put away.
The tiff file type isn't really needed if you can save the image in png or jpg with compression off.
When I used to sell Sports cards, they were photographed with an actual digital canon camera on a tripod with macro lens, flatbed scanners were not good enough, the difference in quality for a sports card graded at 9.6 and 9.9 can be massive, so people who buy this stuff are extremely anal about what they see.
Very cool! Thank you.
