Sorry if this is off topic, but where can I find such thing? I have seen them showcased on Collector's rooms on YouTube, but I can not find anything that I can buy. Basically I have a small, modest Big Box DOS games that I would love to insert them onto ones of these protective clear plastic boxes.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion!

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Retroprotection.com has several that will fit. The cereal box protectors should fit most PC software boxes, and they have wider ones which fit some other special PC box titles.

Thanks those suggestions are useful 👍

Would be great if a seller had a custom option too, some PC boxes are odd sizes.

Maybe custom boxes are not really cost-effective.

The reason, why Big Boxes are not standardized, can be watched here:

Yeah I guess they need to order in fairly large quantities to the manufacturers.

Interesting video thanks, classic narration.
He did miss the American and Asia Pacific markets having different timelines, Europe suffered the DVD cases first sadly. I think Taiwan still has game boxes for modern games!
