trim the slipcase on the DVD (currently looking where abouts to trim it)
scan the pack of the slip and make some edits to the details (specs etc)
print it out at work at carefully glue it to the back

@Noodles: Sorry for the late reply. I have tried to make you a pic of it:

Height: 1,6cm + 17,3cm + 1,6cm
Width: 1,6cm + 13,8cm

It is 0,1 - 0,2 cm bigger than it should be but i have left some more space cause i dont cut out exactly every time and its better to cut off something later cause you cant give it more room later after cutting it. Hope this will help. Again, sorry for the late reply.

I have made a Fullslip for Bram Stokers Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola on champagne colored ribbed laid paper:

No worries mate. I appreciate the help... thank you very much! That full slip looks amazing.

On what paper are you printing those Fullslips?

 

[stonedm1980]

That's professional work buddy Really nice. Where did you get that sort of paper?

I bought it on amazon.de :

It is not good for making high quality glossy prints. But i wanted a look like the Dallas Buyers Club Fullslip from KimchiDVD and the same feeling of it when you slide with your fingers on it. Ok, the DBC Fullslip is made on canvas i think but i cant print on these kind of paper. I have used some painted artworks on the front and backside because real fotos wouldnt look good in reason of no high quality glossy printing. But the ripped laid paper is thicker than the normal photo paper and make it more robust.

The Drive Fullslip i have made is printed on:

HP Q5456A Advanced Glossy Photopaper 250g/m2 A4 white

It looks really high quality but in my oppinion it is a little bit too thin. But i cant print on more than 250g/m2 paper. Must go to a copy shop for thicker paper.
I have made a Slipcover for my custom made Last Boy Scout Steelbook longer time ago. This one was printed out on a copy shop cause my old printer have problems with printing really dark black.

I can show you some pics of my custom made limited Edition of Last Boy Scout with Slipcover, Lenticular Cover on front of Steelbook, Limitation numbering card and photo artcards ( original press photos ):

WOW! That looks absolutely amazing. Your Drive full slip also looks good. I would like to know how to make full slips. I made a slip cover before, see pics below, but never attempted full slips. It was my first attempt so its not that great . But I use 300gsm Glossy 8.5" x 11" paper, and I can print at home. If you're interested in the paper, PM me and I'll give you more details and possible even get it for you.

 

[stonedm1980]

Thank you.
I cant print on 300g Paper. I have tried it but cant go over 250g paper.
Think i need a new printer, i will write it on my wishlist for santa claus hehe

I would ask @lomadu here: https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/hi-res-textless-movie-posters.54553/
He's good at finding stuff Check the OP first though, you might just find what you need.

Other than that, there's also a similar thread on the Bluray website.

I did make a custom Full Slip for the Punisher (2004) today (including 2 artcards, one of which also serves as the limitation card) and thought it to be ok enough to post here. Would love to get some feedback since this is still at beginners level, I guess.

Both the upper and downside spine feature artwork, the latter continuing the skull from the front artwork. The upper one features a tunnel scene from the film. Sadly, I forgot to photograph these in good quality, sorry.
Title and scull (minus the eyes) are both embossed on the spine. The limitation number on the second artcard is also slightly embossed.

Spoiler: More Pictures.

"Beginner's level"...my a$$. That's absolutely NOT beginner's level. It's beautiful man. You've done a wonderful job. Would like to see more of your work

What tool did you use to emboss?

What tool did you use to emboss?

First, I actually used a regular (broken) pen to emboss , for this I upgraded a little and used an embossing pen (a craft knife with a round-headed pin).

"Beginner's level"...my a$$.

Thanks for the kind words!

Also finished a custom digipack the day before, so here are some photos of that. While it's not 100% perfect, I think it looks pretty cool.
The title on the front is embossed. Also includes 2 artcards but no numbering.

Spoiler: More.
