Once, long ago, PC games came in very nice, handsome cardboard boxes that were intended to both hold the disks and feelies as well as lure the potential purchaser in with tantalizing glimpses of what was contained within the game.
Now; these are extinct; digital distribution having replaced them.
If one wanted to reproduce these boxes for their own use; the critical dimensions of them were:
