Is this possible...............to create a prop from the 80s?

Would it be possible to reprint a Pampers box that would be sized to fit our diapers?   I have a box of ultra pampers plus xl and would love it upsized to fit my diapers for storage vs the standard shelf / drawer.  Like screen print shop ? Or vinyl?

What the hell???? A few of us replied here and now they're gone?    Or is this a duplicate post?

OK.  So I went to my profile and even my response there was not showing up.   Looks like there was a blip a few hours ago and posts just disappeared.

Anyway, my answer:   First the short answer.  Yes it can be done.

Longer answer.   If you can find a shop that has large format printers (lots of people call them plotters, but that's incorrect), preferably one that is 36 to 44" wide.   Like this:

They can print your "artwork" off on a 36" or 44" wide sheet of paper however long you need.  The hard part is generating that artwork as it has to be very high resolution.  Pictures taken on a smart phone won't have the resolution to look right when blown up to fit on what would essentially be a giant banner.  For that you'd need a proper digital camera.   And, if you're taking pictures, they have to be as flawless as possible.  So - as near perfectly square to your subject, no glare/reflections, perfect uniform lighting, etc.   It's a challenge.  But it could be done.  Ideally, placing the object onto a scanner would result in the best possible images.  The largest I've seen available are 18x24(inches). 

 

Once printed out, then you'd have to glue your "banner" onto the appropriate sized box.  I doubt you'll find one that's sized exactly right, so you'd be actually making it from scratch pretty much how it would have been made in the factory to start with - from a flat piece of cardstock.  Lightly score the fold lines, then glue the seams together and you should end up with a suitable replica.

As a printer and diecutter by trade, Yes you can make one but if the demand is high enough a flat bed die can be made.

I asked this same question several years ago too

As with anything else in our world, You would have to find a AB friendly place. Companies that do such things on the open market may be scared of by imagined pedo implications. Also, there may be copyright issues with whoever makes Pampers

I would like to find a clotheing label maker to do the "RUFFLES & RIBBONS GIRLS' HOME 'Gig Baby Special Sizes" lebels for rubber panties that are about 2 x3 inches and put on the outside front of the pantiy

If questioned by the printers, you can always lie and tell them it is for a gag gift for your brother's 40th birthday.

 

You also might want to look for high res images on ye olde internet, or even see if the printer can scan the box.

The cheap and easy way is to just print many small pictures on A4 and glue them together with a plastic film on top.

The options mentioned previously gonna be expensive.

A lot really depends on how exact you wanted it. If you want something exact, that can be pricy, as its cut and printed paperboard. Its also done on a 4 colour press, at lest, maybe a 6 colour, cause they gotta put the white down before everything else.  Never mind the itself.

On the other hand, if your not so exacting about it, you can hand make a box, print out the box art for it, and glue them onto it. Be a lot cheeper than trying to find someone to print it out in a regular printing press.
