How To Add Custom Steelbook Inside Artwork!
Фильм және анимация
The struggle for steelbook collectors is receiving a steelbook with nothing inside! Or worse, a steelbook with bad art! I'll show you how to fix that!

If you guys are afraid of bringing a knife anywhere near your steels to get the covers off, i've found that you can actually slide a plastic credit card (I use a Best buy gift card b/c of its shape) in between the plastic and metal and it will simply pop apart if you slide it across the panel.

Thanks Tyler! Took a minute to find good pics & perfect printing but I think my result may even be better than the factory steelbook inlay.
I have done a lot of woodburning art. Hilariously, I have always loved steel books but never thought I could get it done without spending a lot of cash, resources, etc. Now I am interested in creating artwork on steel books today.
Really cool Green lantern tatto in your fingers man, soo cool 👊
Recently I bought the batman vs superman's steelbook with the cover made by jim lee, its like a comic style, and the plastic part, it came upside down, so your video will help me to change it, thank you so much
Wow! The cover art itself was what caused me to choose to order the French Batman Steelbook rather than that one, and seeing that the inside is totally bereft of artwork makes me even gladder I did! And to top it all off, it cost less than some places sell the U.S. version for, and the same amount as the places with the lowest price among the bigger companies.
I did it with the IT 1990 Steelbook and although I used normal paper it looks pretty good
This changed my life thank you!!!!

Very impressive! I’m about upgrade some steelbooks! Thanks!
That's dope I'm definitely doing this to some of my steelbooks
Wow looks professional 🤯👌✨
I used a steamer to remove the spine, do you know where I can buy the enteral plastic part. Let’s say i have more then one Blu-ray’s that I would like to store in the Steelbook.
Try using a roto-trim for cutting paper, they are expensive but gives you much more accurate cuts
So, I’m using the template you have linked and the latest version of the gimp photo editing software, but I’m having issues printing. It automatically defaults to a much smaller size. I can enlarge it in the settings, but I don’t know exactly what dimensions I need to be using to get the right size printout. Do you know the printed width & height? Also, what size paper do you recommend?

It sounds like you need to change your printer settings.
Hey,I love your court mask
Definitely been thinking about and keen to do this but I'm still not sold on or feeling comfortable with the spine part. I'm thinking maybe just sticking the printed spine bare & directly on the inside on top of the plastic or even laminating the spine and then stick it directly on the inside.

Try it with 2-3 cheap ass steels that you buy second hand.
i did the steps you showed within the video however when i exported the image it didn't save it as it would into the template form. it just saved as if it was a regular image from the original. how do i solve this issue? im using a mac os.

Great video. But why is the template so low resolution? My printer kept printing at a very small scale. I had to increase the size of the image and template.

I was just thinking the same thing. It's a very small scale. You shouldn't have to UPSCALE to print. It's better to start from the actual size. I'm looking for a proper template but don't see one to download anywhere.
Awesome video man big thanks. I hate when the inside is blank. Looks bootleg.
I cannot get this to save with the transparent background for the cutouts. It looks correct in gimp and I export to png but it comes out solid everytime. What can I do?
why is my art coming out smaller than the pixles are when i save it
Awesome video
Hey! I like steel-books but not the disc holder inside, is it possible to remove it and replace it with the standard press release? I always get worried I'm going to break the disc when I take them out of a steel-book.

I was EXTREMELY careful to follow people's instructions exactly, and even more careful in the execution of this, and nonetheless, the spine wound up being cut and there was absolutely no way for the X-acto knife to have gotten any higher toward the spine label. Is there any possibility that there are Steelbooks that are made slightly differently that have the spine fused to the plastic? BTW, it was a Steve Austin Collection 4-disc Steelbook that I was taking apart to use the 4-disc plastic for something else, if that helps to possibly identify some exception.

I've never heard of a 4 disc steelbook. If its thicker I can only think that the spine has more adhesive so it's harder. The only thing you can do is make sure its heated and keep the blade straight and angled towards the metal spine.

@@YourMovieFix It turns out I was underestimating how closely you have to look at the thing, as I don't tend to think my near vision is all that bad with contacts, but apparently it isn't anywhere near as good as that of those of you making these tutorials, as I did go back and get it off after putting forth quite a bit of effort toward even managing to slip the blade under the label alone. Once I did get the blade into the right space, it slid through extremely easily even around a half hour after originally being heated. Hopefully the super glue works for repairing the spine itself.
Great tutorial but that link doesn’t get me to the template. It just brings you to the Imgur website

Does the adhesive on the spine harden again to form a good seal?

For the love of ZOD lay your Steelbooks down on a cloth. It is very easy to create hairline scratches on the edges.

Wave a Hairdryer (at the Hottest Setting) over the Spine for a few Minutes instead before removing.
If its not from the factory it's OH, HELL NO!
