So. I buy collectors editions for games that i appreciate a lot, like REALLY much, to the point that in my over 200 games collection only 2 series have collectors edition. But i think i have good examples for both do's and don'ts some bullet points.... - All collectors editions boxes outer dimensions should be identical (at least in same brand).
- Box should be sturdy and decorative, also preferably designed so that what ever way you turn it it wont flap its cover open (IE folder style box that you pull the box itself out.)
Attention to detail - If you use some form of non paper / cardboard cover on any of your products in collectors edition, then the cover material should not be apparent from ANY vieving angle that it is cover material and not the actual material (See ESO Artbook for example what NOT to do)
- Items in boxes should be attached to the box by weight of other items on top of them or by the box cover (NOT by zip ties or any other similar thingy)
- IF you are going to ship some sort of figurine, make SURE that its not easily broken in transport... (IE pack your box to too light transport package, and drop it from 5 meters or so to imitate fed ex )
If you can make dimensions of the box 12 x 2.7 x 10.6 inches = 30.48 x 6.86 x 26.92 cm so that it fits right next to my previous GOOD collectors editions.
And for good packaging examples look up Apple, Sony Mobile, Blizzard (collectors editions). And for BAD examples look up Zenimax ESO
If you have anything else to add to this list leave a comment. Ill link this thread to messages to iga.

My box will be hidden away from the sun. Trapped in the wardrobe of souls.
We have no clue how the boxes will look like. Everything is mock-up art. Not even the t-shirt might be the actual piece we get.
And for C.E. There are plenty of different tiers.

I hope I'll get a nice little box for the game even if the version I want is for steam, with cover art, a little booklet in it and all. Collector Edition indeed!

1. My box will be hidden away from the sun. Trapped in the wardrobe of souls. 2. We have no clue how the boxes will look like. Everything is mock-up art. Not even the t-shirt might be the actual piece we get. 3. And for C.E. There are plenty of different tiers. 1. Aww that's sad :C 2. That is the point of this thread for developers to take note of what makes a good CE, especially when even the development on CE is not yet started, what better time to tell what we want? 3. Yes, i m aware of that, but solution would be that ether fit all rewards in same CE box, or make the box thicker for higher tears, as bookshelf width is variable height and depth are not as much.

My wish is that the artbook is made of high quality paper and not too small in size. I really like the size of Dracula X Chronicles artbook The booklet in the soundtrack should also be thick and have artwork and commentaries. It would be great to have English commentary. All other Castlevania OSTs that I have are in Japanese and it is not easy to get translations. Oh, and I would LOVE a high quality poster of the art by Ayami Kojima. Please, make it!
