Thanks everyone!

Really cool Kyle. Do you make the boxes out of the cardboard dividers from Dominos?


That's correct. Isn't that great? I don't even have to pay for them. Very Happy

Awesome Kyle. Maybe you can post your labels for us to use?

Danke,
Tad


I'll see what I can do to keep the size correct. I'll try putting it in Microsoft Word or something.
In the meantime I encourage anyone interested to use the lables here:

Scott M used the Wasa Crackers, Potted Meat, half a stick of Mentos, a tea bag, sugar (sacharrin would be more authentic) and maybe a small chocolate bar.

He bought that oatmeal colored card stock and hand-cut the Nahkampfpackung boxes. Add a red stamp on the lid, and called it good.

Except most didn't like the brand of Wasa crackers he used, was like eating sawdust. And the potted meat may not have been the top name brand. Remember, he was trying to keep the cost down. Replace the Wasa with another, add the name-brand devilled ham or devilled spam, and you have something that is very tollerable.

Relabel the cans with pulltabs upside down. That way the pulltab is not visible when the label is rightside up.

You can also pull the tab off at the right angle. Flip it upside down like Mike said, or spray lots of primer on it and you can actually cover up the pull tab part really well when it is removed.

Andrew (von Luck) hooked me up with some great labels.

Yours are awesome.

the Wiking.org site seems to be a goner...anyone have links to more labels? or have some they can email to me?

I used to have a bunch from the old site that Mark did, but alas, I am unable to locate them....
Any help is appreciated!

Chris send me your email and I will give you all that I have. Anyone else wants them let me know. I saved all of the wiking stuff via PDF. I also got some from another forum that Adrew told me about and they did not stay up for long either. I have them saved if anyone wants them.
