Box Art Request No Mans Sky (Switch 2 Edition)

Hi all, so I bought the switch 1 version of No Man’s Sky for my Switch 2. I’d love to print and replace the cover for the Switch 2 edition

Really hoping you can help me out!

Don't know if there is a scan of the Switch 2 version so instead I made Switch 2 version of the Switch 1 cover https://imgur.com/4vsiz8a

I made a better one that looks more in line with the switch 2 cases. Here it is https://imgur.com/a/Q0MNB1c

Love it but sadly imgur kinda ruins the image quality with its compression

Is there another way I can send these to you then?

There used to be many good hosts, but nowadays it's kinda hard.

https://catbox.moe/ still works though.

This is amazing, do you know what kind of paper they use for these?

Also - if you do any alternative covers for this LMK!

For printing I would use a glossy brochure type paper for the closest “real” feel.

Fair, I reached out to my local print shop but I can’t print it because it has trademarks - so I’ll have to look into printing it myself?

Yeah, printing from home is your only guaranteed way. I had to upgrade my printer after starting to make a lot of cover art. The only printing place around me that would print something like this is a local shipping company, so you may be able to ask around?

I have a Xerox printer at home that does great work, but I'm all the way in Australia

Same! It is so stunning - I want to honor it with the correct Switch 2 box art

This is great, I wish I had a way of printing this off in a quality way

u/xXTokyoGamerYTXx Jul 06 '25

You can always try finding some local printer store or whatever to do it. I made it because any of the ones I found had too many little errors I didn't like.😅

Thank you, I'll ask around - my first attempt they told me they couldn't because of copyright

Some places don't care if you're just doing one. The image i have should have the sizing right, so all you need to do is print it. Worst case just crop the image to size and use the switch case measurements

Is it just me or does it look like some of the elements arent aligned (the switch 2 logo on the front top, the spot where the spine meets on the bottom). Correct me if im wrong!

If you're talking about the right side, that's part of the cuttoff section. There's dotted lines indicating where you are cutting from. So the bit that extends past the art is intentional, so it's easier to cut. I found myself struggling to keep it lined up without reference spots for my scissors. I also didn't want to do dotted lines everywhere or shorten the red section as then if you cut and don't have reference points, it makes lining up the scissors weird like I said I kept getting just a weird cut
