Howdy fellas!!

I did make my own a while back but they are such a pain with my OCD!

I took some Cheyenne Cartridge Boxes and made both two piece and split boxes. The sizes are very close. I did order one box off ebay and it is a good quality box from someone not far from me BUT the box is "taller" than I wanted.

I have been working with Chris on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/224096125173?ul_noapp=true . His are not cheap but I would not sell mine for what he sells his for and his are top notch labels. I bet I have 40 hours tied up in one box...LOL!!

Bad news is that the new Cheyenne box are a different size, shorter, and it takes a little work to make them how I want them.

I will add some new photos when I get a chance. The below labels have a few errors you might notice.

I used packing paper to wrap the box. I also used packing packing for the labels. The packing paper is taped on top of copy paper, then the copy paper run through the copy machine. Never had a problem on my end doing so! I then use kids paste glue in the chap stick form to glue everything down.
