hello everyone. i designed some boxes for my reloaded shotshells. i did this because i shoot a lot of different loads and recognition of them is crusial. Another reason is because i load a big amount of shells every time (700-1000) and i needed a way to categorize and store them. here is a sample of my work!!!

Nice graphics Tomaso and welcome to the forum as well. Do you have the equipment to stamp the card for the boxes out or are you cutting them by hand?

Been thinking about doing something similar too, but in a different direction...

As I do a lot of military themed shooting, I was going to replicate some of the plainer military type ammo boxes for rifle & shotgun ammo.
The plainer boxes mean less ink to use, and the main body colour is decided by the colour of card used to make the box.
I'd be able to get quite a good turnover as I have a clicker press for leatherwork - so would get a few knives made to allow me to stamp them boxes out.
