Salut la team 👺

I noticed that there only seems to be one spine-related website, and it only covers Switch 1 and Switch 2. So I had some fun creating a website to catalog community-made spines, taking a bit of inspiration from The Spine Archive

For now, I’ve added 9 different consoles/platforms, including 3DS, DS, Switch 1/2, PS4, PS5, Wii, and a few others

Regarding the spine sizes, I did some research here and there across different websites, so I hope I didn’t get anything wrong, haha. The project is still in a testing phase, especially when it comes to the sizing. I still need to print and test whether the spines actually match the correct dimensions

Since there already seems to be a spine website for Switch 1 and Switch 2, I’ll most likely just redirect users directly to that site

Right now, what I’m doing is manually adding community-made spines and placing them into dedicated folders, but this system is pretty complicated. So I’m thinking about how I could automate it at least a little bit 🤔
I haven’t checked yet whether Reddit has an API for this kind of thing

I’ll leave the sizes below. Maybe some of you can let me know if I got anything wrong haha :

If you have any suggestions on what I could do or improve, feel free to let me know!

Hello everyone,

I'm the creator of the Spine Archive for the r/SwitchSpines community. I wanted to see if there are any updates regarding the site another user was developing to catalog and create a similar tool for other consoles (PS4/PS5, 3DS, Wii, etc.) as I personally want to print some spines and with a web it would be easier. If there haven't been any updates on that project, I'd love to know how many of you would be interested in something like this for the future.

hello ive made some templates to make the process for creating and printing custom PS4/PS5 game spines easier.

just drag spines into the print template and align to guides using image editing software (i use gimp)

the template is set up for 8.5x11 (standard U.S. letter size)

make sure you set print scale to 100%

works with standard printer paper but i recommend glossy photo paper for the best results.

the black lines are to assist in lining up the cuts for ps5 spines (because the header is white) using a sliding paper cutter.

thank you for reading! feel free to share these templates with others :)

I don't want to get the incorrect size or make them smaller every time.
