This looks like a really nice solution for games with a lot of different counter types without having to find exactly the right type of plano-style box. I don't have a jazzy die cut machine, so I guess I'll see what it's like to cut these out by hand. Thanks for the video!
@@OnesUponaGame I only made one. It's a lot of cuts to do with a blade. It looks much more manageable when the paper is already perforated. Tray works great though.
I tried it without any machine (just a cheap cutter and 160g colored paper) and it works great :) It just requires a lot of patience but the result is very satisfying ! Thank you
If you use some chipboard (USA term, not wood boards made of pressed chips but non-corrugated cardboard like the backing on note pads) to make a simple an external box (4 sides, base, tape it together with the proper type of tape), you could then glue your tray inside as a liner and wrap the outside with paper (just like a game box, use whole mailing labels if you don't want to use glue). This would create a very durable box without the risk of flexing or accidental crushing.

How'd they turn out?
